Jonathan Maberry (born May 18, 1958) is the multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Ghost Road Blues, the first of the Pine Deep Trilogy, a series of supernatural horror novels. Maberry has been active as a professional writer and writing teacher since 1978.
His novel Patient Zero: A Joe Ledger Novel, is a bioterrorism thriller that launches a new series for St. Martin's Press. It was followed byThe Dragon Factory in 2010, The King of Plagues in 2011, Assassin's Code in 2012, and Extinction Machine in 2013. The first three books in the series have been optioned by producer Michael De Luca (Se7en, Magnolia, Blade) on behalf of Sony.
Maberry is also a freelance comic book writer. His first story was "Wolverine: Ghosts", published as a backup story in Wolverine: Anniversary, April 2009. In August 2009 he became the regular writer for Marvel's Black Panther series, starting on the 7th issue,[1] and he wrote Marvel Zombies Return: Wolverine.[2] In 2010, he wrote Doom War[3] and Marvel Universe Vs The Punisher.[4]
So let me first introduce Jonathan Maberry’s series of Joe Ledger novels. Think Resident Evil without the horrible dialogue. Think the hit Fox drama 24 with Bond villains. Think Monster Hunter International but less supernatural and more scientific. I really love the Joe Ledger novels (for the most part) and unless you hate America you will too. The first novel in the series, Patient Zero, is one of my all time favorite zombie stories. The sequel, The Dragon Factory, didn’t quite live up to the quality of the first but it was still a solid thriller. then came The King of Plagues. It’s a little late and I’m currently reading the fourth book in the series, Assassin’s Code, but you know what they say. Better late than never.
