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.

The narrator

All the women characters had the same voice accent etc. the only draw back to the book

Frannie

This book kept me up late at nights trying to finish it. When I thought that I had the plot figured out , there was another avenue to think about. It was a thriller that I could not put down. Although it was a long read , I almost want it to continue.

Enjoyable!!

This was an entertaining story and was performed well. I like the Amos Decker character better (later series) but I enjoyed this book. I would buy again and I'll continue with this series.

Baldacci Does it Again

Would you consider the audio edition of Zero Day to be better than the print version?

Not having the time to actually sit down & read (I do a lot of driving on my job), audio books are perfect for me. This is a superb book!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Zero Day?

The story has a lot of twists & turns... just when you think you have it figured out, you realize you were mistaken.

What does Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy personalize the story... I hope they always are the readers of this series!

Amazing

amazing book expecially when the music plays at the right time. I'm going to listen to all of them

I loved it.

Where does Zero Day rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I loved the characters and the plot. I also liked the narrators. I think it's great to have a male and female reader to help distinguish the characters. The characters were interesting and the main ones were complex.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot was very good and when the pieces got put together, it made sense.

Excellent book

This book is a classic Baldacci book and the performance is excellent. I would call it a must read.

Truly enjoyable

David Baldacci is becoming one of my favorite authors. I got every one of his Camel Club Series and enjoyed both the stories and the performance. I am now very pleased with the characters and performance of this book. Try it and I think you will find it a good story and listen.

on to book 2

I've always been a David Balducci fan and this series looks like it will not disappoint

Meet Jack Reacher's twin brother

I hope Baldacci has very good lawyers. This is so blatant it's rather funny. Jack(John) Reacher(Puller) from the military, getting involved in every trouble around. Who's next? Joe Grabber?
Oh wait, there's a half inch difference in height.
How could an author that brought us the interesting characters of the Camel Club do this? So disappointing.
