Protocol Zero

Marine biologist and bioterror specialist Joe Rush finds himself in the frozen Alaskan wilderness investigating what appears to be a family murder-suicide among a team of researchers. But the gruesome scene conceals something far more dangerous than human violence. As Rush delves deeper into the deaths, he uncovers evidence of an impossible biological threat that could devastate thousands. The situation escalates when military forces seal off sections of Alaska and Rush becomes a target himself, suspected of treason by his own government while racing against time to prevent a catastrophic outbreak.

Ray Porter delivers a masterful performance that elevates this arctic thriller to new heights. His deep, authoritative voice perfectly captures Rush's military background and scientific expertise, while his pacing builds relentless tension throughout the investigation. Porter's skill with character voices brings distinct life to the supporting cast, from panicked officials to deadly adversaries stalking the frozen landscape. The audio format amplifies the story's claustrophobic atmosphere, making listeners feel the bitter cold and mounting paranoia alongside Rush as he navigates both natural dangers and human conspiracies.
