Zero Option

By: P. T. Deutermann

Narrated by: Dick Hill

When FBI agent David Stafford finds himself on the Bureau's "out" list for publicly blowing the whistle on a corrupt colleague, he receives a low-profile assignment to investigate an Atlanta military base, where someone is suspected of auctioning off equipment without authorization.

Now a cylinder containing an extremely hazardous biochemical weapon is missing, and Stafford is on the trail of the thief - traveling from the hills of Georgia to the halls of the Pentagon - in a race to recover the weapon before it falls into enemy hands.

With strong characters and a plot that is frighteningly real, Deutermann's Zero Option is his most commercial novel yet, reminiscent of Tom Clancy and Nelson DeMille.

Exceptionally well done.

Extremely well thought out plot with unexpected twists and turns. Sticks to the rule of thumb of only one incredible thing per story. Characters very well fleshed out and with believable motivations. Exciting and entertaining and informative all at the same time. Highly recommended!

it's an ok story

I found the main character in the story to be a little on the weak side obviously dealing with an injury but you want your heroes or your centerpieces to be strong and decisive not weak and vulnerable other than that the story was was okay the the whole mental telepathy thing kind of got lost in the wash from the idea that the Army would lose a chemical weapon is almost unfathomable.

Great Story!

This story is better than most, especially the second half. The author, P.T. Deutermann, understands the operations of D.C. bureaucrats and uses his knowledge to build tension. He does the tension scenes very well, especially towards the end. This work is the author’s stab at soft science fiction. It’s not bad! The sci-fi input is brief and it works. (No hard sci-fi like spaceships or phasers.)

Excellent Book

It keeps you in suspense and how it can change a person with or without belief.
The mind is truly a complex organ and all working differently. Yet siblings can be brought up together but you the mind set is so different with little to no overlap at times. Narrator is great, played various voices.

Entertaining story

I like all the major characters in this book - good and bad. The story gradually introduces the major players and then adds a good story with enough suspense and action to keep me interested. I enjoyed this book; however, my favorite books by this author are Hunting Season and Darkside.
