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.

Good listen

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

It is up there and for the most part a good book, being in the Nuclear industry some of the data" is stretching it

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

all good

Super read

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

I enjoyed this greatly. It was a read that kept me guessing and gave a surprise. How good is that?

Good Story

Any additional comments?

This is a good read. It is a typical Baldacci work and I hope he keeps on with this character. I think I prefer to have just one reader but once the story gets really started it isn't that distracting.

Excellent audio book

This was an exciting book with a fantastic narrator. It keeps you in suspense throughout. I found myself not wanting to stop to eat!

I couldn't put it down.

All the clues are there if u really listen. I loved it. It pulls the emotional strings in a number of different ways.

Excellent!!

Classic Baldacci with the introduction of a new character hopefully more to follow. Well worth the time.

amazing thrill ride with puller for a driver

Simply Amazing, main character was amazing. the plot was as good as any Sherlock Holmes even better. had you guessing at every turn had everything. even had me wincing during the fight scenes. makes me rethink the whole story at every turn.

the narrator's did an amazing job. the characters they portrayed were very three dimensional. overall I gotta say I'm a fan of these narrators.

this author I've got to say and I keep saying it simply and utterly amazing (" he's an inexplicable guy, I don't like inexplicable!"). his characters are completely original and memorable I look forward to reading more

Couldn’t stop

It was difficult to hit pause on this one. It kept my interest the whole time.

Very good listen!

I thought this book was very good. I am getting use to the multiple narrators and found this reading to be very enjoyable. The extra sound effects were ok, they did tend to have an effect on me late at night as I listened when everyone else was asleep. I felt it had enough twist in the plot to keep you guessing as to what was really going on.
The story kept me engaged all the way through and I look forward to reading more of John Puller.

Reacher Wannabe

I am not a regular Baldacci novel audio listener, but having read good reviews on his work, thought I would give this one a listen. The story was certainly entertaining with political intrigue thrown in for good measure. My one big issue is the main character, John Puller is almost a carbon copy of Jack Reacher. A big hard nosed no nonsense military trained Army veteran who can handle himself whether with a weapon or hand to hand. Sound familiar? That is not to say I did not enjoy the listen, as I did. Will I come back for more John Puller? Not so sure I will as there are plenty of other choices out there that are no so close to my main man, Reacher.
