PATIENT ZERO will be released by St. Martins Press on March 3.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY calls it "...a fast and furious read."

And here are what today's top bestsellers are saying about PATIENT ZERO:

PETER STRAUB: "..while the action is heated, violent, and furious, the writing remains cool, steady, and low-key."

JOE LANSDALE: "a fast-paced, creepy thriller."

JOSEPH FINDER:  "PATIENT ZERO is 'Night of the Living Dead' meets Michael Crichton."

JAMES ROLLINS: "It puts the 'terror' back in 'terrorist'!"

DAVID MORRELL: "Patient Zero is high-octane excitement from beginning to end, and the start of a fabulous new series.

DOUGLAS PRESTON ~ "PATIENT ZERO is a first-rate thriller with a bioterror angle that is as horrific as it is plausible.  Joe Ledger rules."

M. J. ROSE  ~ "This is high-concept with brains, action with soul and fast paced tension with psychological insight.
