And I hope you're enjoying it.

Jonathan Mabery
author of PATIENT ZERO and THE DRAGON FACTORY

Anything with zombies and you got my attn. I like the military theme too. I am looking forward to more Joe Ledger =D

Joe Ledger will return in THE DRAGON FACTORY (March 2010) squaring off against modern day Nazis who are using cutting-edge genetics to complete the Master Race program. (Reserve your copy now from your favorite bookstore.)

And in 2011 he’ll face off against THE KING OF PLAGUES, a secret society who are using modern versions of the Ten Plagues of Egypt as terrorist weapons to crash world economies.

There’s also two free Joe Ledger shot stories available online:

COUNTDOWN takes is a prequel to PATIENT ZERO (http://us.macmillan.com/CMS400/upload...)

DEEP, DARK (just posted yesterday), takes place just before the second book, THE DRAGON FACTORY. Here’s the link: http://jonathanmaberry.com/download-t...

Thanks! I did get a copy of the Deep, Dark [I didn't know it was just posted yesterday:]. Thanks for the links and info. Joe is an entertaining character.

The first three Joe Ledger novels have been optioned for TV by Sony. Who would you pick to play the lead characters?

I never pictured any current lead actors but as for personality I like how Joe thinks on his feet. Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. Grace/Cate Blanchett.

Interesting. Hadn't thought about Cate as Grace.

A friend of mine suggested either Alec Baldwin, Bruce Willis or Michael Clarke Duncan as Church. I'd be okay with either of those.

A couple more to add to the cast: Gault/Cillian Murphy
Toys/Paul Bettany...

I finished the book and shorts. Really loved the spin on zombies.

Glad to hear it!
