Thirty-four children walked into school on a Saturday morning. None of them will walk out the same.
A bioengineered virus has shut down a Mumbai school, and it doesn't just infect. It networks and learns. One signal, one frequency, one hive mind wearing the face of innocence, striking with machine precision.
An off-the-books tactical unit is sent in with an impossible order: kill the signal before it reaches a city of 20 million. But there's a catch that will break them: they are forbidden to use lethal force. The monsters are still someone's kids.
As the night closes in and a global conspiracy tightens around them, the operators must do the unthinkable to end the outbreak- and pay a price that leaves both the survivors and their city permanently scarred.
Code 103 Redacted: Patient Zer0 is a biopunk horror-thriller for fans of Jonathan Maberry's Patient Zero, Train to Busan, and Black Mirror, in which the real monster isn't the infection but the people who built it.
The outbreak has a message for the men hunting it
