PATIENT ZERO

Dear_cupid
Patient Zero Zeke Carter thought his worst problem was surviving another week in Redwood Heights, California, without failing college—or making his landlord suspicious about the occasional blue sparks jumping off his fingers. That was before he found out he was Patient Zero, the living prototype of a secret bio-digital experiment by the megacorp NeoGeneX. Now he’s on the run with Maya Torres, a battle-hardened hacker with more encrypted firewalls than trust issues, and Zara Voss, a cryo-frozen mystery from the same program who wakes up with powers she doesn’t understand—and memories she can’t explain. Their mission? Stay alive long enough to uncover the truth about Project ZO before NeoGeneX’s perfect weapon—Subject X—finds them. But Zeke’s abilities come with side effects: every time he uses them, his mind unravels a little more, and the line between hero and threat starts to blur. In a world of neon skylines, corporate espionage, and augmented assassins, survival isn’t just about fighting back—it’s about deciding who you are before someone else writes your code. Fast, funny, and heart-pounding, Patient Zero blends explosive action, razor-sharp wit, and an unflinching look at the cost of becoming more than human.
