CHILD ZERO

Robert Petkoff narrates this fast-paced, plausible sci-fi thriller set in a near future in which overprescribed antibiotics no longer work. Long extinguished diseases have returned with a vengeance, and the slightest ailment or minor injury can prove fatal. Humanity lives in a state of fear, suspicion, and governmental surveillance. When bioterrorists launch an attack, NYPD Detective Jake Gibson and his partner, Amira Hassan, become embroiled in a high-stakes mystery involving an immigrant boy who is on the run from powerful people. Petkoff's performance is well paced as he portrays the fear of the story's diverse characters, who are easily identifiable and believable.
