Countdown

Unnecessary

If you've already read PATIENT ZERO then you don't need this.

If you haven't read PATIENT ZERO, this very very slightly helps kick start things, but 90% of what you hear on this 19 minute mini story, gets repeated later in the main novel anyway.

While not bad, it's just way too short, and way to much of what you get in the main book anyway.

Disappointing

I love the Joe Ledger books, but this was disappointing. At only 19 minutes, you would think that there would need to be something special about this story to justify it being published at all. That is not the case. Much of this is word-for-word the same as the first few paragraphs of Patient Zero. Save your money and skip Countdown.

Do not buy

It is basically the first five minutes of patients zero. Buy it instead. Waste of money.

This adds no value to 'Patient Zero'

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Someone who is unsure if they want to listen to 'Patient Zero'?

Would you ever listen to anything by Jonathan Maberry again?

Yes - Patient Zero was AWESOME

Which character – as performed by Ray Porter – was your favorite?

Didn't have one

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Dissappointment, anger? Other tha a vague intro to Mr. Church this was $3.95 to listen to word for work parts of Patient Zero. There was nothing in here worth listening to if you are going to listen to Patient Zero.

Any additional comments?

Don't spend the $3.95 - just get Patient Zero

Where does Countdown rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

If you've already read Patient Zero, just skip this. If you are thinking about reading Patient Zero then READ THIS!!

Really not necessary

They call this a prequel but it's more like the prologue from Countdown.
Imagine a physical book and the first 3 pages before the chapters begin, that's what this is.
If your expecting info on Ledger you won't find it in this. Everything in this short is covered in the beginning of Countdown.
Don't waste your money/credit trust me!!!

Do not buy this "book"

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This is homepage teaser that you can find entirely in the Patient Zero full book.
