Publisher's summary

From David Baldacci - the modern master of the thriller and number-one worldwide best-selling novelist - comes a new hero: a lone Army Special Agent taking on the toughest crimes facing the nation. And Zero Day is where it all begins....

John Puller is a combat veteran and the best military investigator in the U.S. Army's Criminal Investigative Division. His father was an Army fighting legend, and his brother is serving a life sentence for treason in a federal military prison. Puller has an indomitable spirit and an unstoppable drive to find the truth.

Now, Puller is called out on a case in a remote, rural area in West Virginia coal country, far from any military outpost. Someone has stumbled onto a brutal crime scene, a family slaughtered. The local homicide detective, a headstrong woman with personal demons of her own, joins forces with Puller in the investigation. As Puller digs through deception after deception, he realizes that absolutely nothing he's seen in this small town, and no one in it, are what they seem. Facing a potential conspiracy that reaches far beyond the hills of West Virginia, he is one man on the hunt for justice against an overwhelming force.

David Baldacci is one of the world's favorite storytellers. His books are published in over 45 languages and in more than 80 countries, with over 110 million copies in print. He is also the cofounder, along with his wife, of the Wish You Well Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting literacy efforts across America.

Great plot line with unexpected ending

The book reader did a good job of making the characters believeable and nailed the attitude of the main character.

At one point in the plot I was totally startled. So much startled that I jumped in my chair. Highly recommend this book.

Fantastic

I loved this book from the first minute. The sound effects on this one is like a regular production. There are gunshots, bomb blasts and music that make the suspense even more intense. Mr. McLarty and Ms. Cassidy do a fantastic job in my opinion for the characters in the book.

John Puller does remind me a lot of Jack Reacher that was created by Lee Child. I am hoping that this is just the first in a series because I didn't see an end on this one. I mean I saw an end to this story, but could see others that could be found. John could be given another assignment and be off on another job in the near future and I am sure I will be getting that one as fast as I can.

Mr. Baldacci never disappoints me in his writing. I think I have read everything by this author and I give him 4 or 5 stars all the time. This one is definitely a 5 out of 5 star book. Especially if you like action and detecting. A couple of explosions and some real serious mayhem.

David Baldacci is number one always!!

I own all David Baldacci books in paper, electronic and audio, he rocks. He is number one in this kind of book. All others pale in comparison

Captivating from start to finish

A truly compelling move and well executed by Ron and Orla! As usual Baldacci spins a convincing yarn that keeps you coming back for more!

ENJOYABLE

Great read, twisting moving plot. The female voice could have had a better casting for this book.

A new hero

The introduction of of John Puller will provide more adventures in the David Baldacci style. I can't wait until he meets up with the members of the Camel Club.

Great Mystery

The characters are well formed and have great depth. The mystery is layer and heart tugging, I only wish that the end was a little bit different because I am a romantic at heart.

very good listen

some nice twist and turns on the way. The setting is well described so you feel like you are there.
