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. Still a resident of his native Virginia, he invites you to visit him at www.DavidBaldacci.com and his foundation at www.WishYouWellFoundation.org, and to look into its program to spread books across America at www.FeedingBodyandMind.com.

Entertaining and sobering

This story is engaging. It kept me awake during a long drive but also reminded me of the devastation caused when we live lives of greed instead of service.

Very good and captivating

I enjoyed the whole story. The suspense mixed with action was enough to hold my attention. I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the death of a certain person that I liked. I will not name that person because it may spoil it for you. I still would recommend this title.

Zero Day

David Baldacci once again does not miss on giving an interesting story. His narrators made this a page turning book that you do not want to put down.

Great story, although Baldacci has better!

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book to this trilogy although I had a hard time coming around to the character John Puller. Being a newer Baldacci reader I have to say that this was not my favorite of his novels. I will, however, finish this series to see where it leads....

Mixed review

Liked the story but the female narrator voice was unpleasantly nasal and indistinct: made for hard listening. Would not choose to listen again.
