The fate of the world hangs in the balance.… (más)

Miércoles, 08.00 horas
El Paciente Cero regresa de entre los muertos. Cuando tienes que matar al mismo terrorista dos veces la misma semana, o bien falla algo en tus aptitudes o el mundo se ha vuelto loco? y las aptitudes de Joe Ledger están perfectamente. Ledger es reclutado por el Gobierno para dirigir un nuevo grupo de respuesta rápida ultrasecreto llamado Departamento de Ciencia Militar (DCM) para ayudarlos a evitar que un grupo de terroristas active una terrible arma biológica que tiene la capacidad de convertir a la gente normal en zombis.
