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.

Slow moving

Although the plot took a while to get to I found I could not stop listening. I never thought the ending would end in the manner it did. The book was good but you have to hang in there.

Where are the Nukes?

Full of suspense and logically organized story that seems believable in this day and age. All characters are well developed. Author keeps you interested in finding the real source of the murders.

Fairly entertaining

This was a fairly entertaining book. But it was not one of Baldacci’s best. I may continue the series.

Wasn’t ready

For the ending, but isn’t that what we want? To be surprised at the end? Learned a lot about nuclear stuff. Had a general idea, but would never have thought one person could virtually diffuse with a little luck. Narrators were great, but I guess I’d like a bit less emphasis on the “drawl” for the Southern Ladies. Looking forward to the next one I pick up with CWO Puller. And get his brother out of prison!
