Summary
Every modern city has one week’s worth of food to feed itself. Then it will collapse.
Cut off the resources to New York, Sydney, or even a mid-size metropolis, and millions will soon starve. In Zero Day Code we see those immense and open, hyper-complex, networked supercities of the new millennium die. And in the last moments we see their vengeance take form as all the best and worst traits of humanity bubble to the surface.
Zero Day Code is set in a realistic near future with dwindling global food supplies under increasing pressure from worsening droughts, floods and extreme weather events. Written by prolific Australian writer John Birmingham, the thriller follows a handful of survivors from the first day of society’s descent into violent, uncertain futures.
James, a consultant to the US National Security Council, is the first to suspect that the worldwide emergence of a crippling computer virus is actually a cover for something else - a devastating cyber-attack by China on the food distribution system of the United States. The attack is a bid for the Middle Kingdom to distract America as it seizes the food bowl of South East Asia and feeds its starving population. But Beijing has miscalculated.
Follow the missions of an embittered activist chasing salvation, a single mum rescuing her child from a frantic San Francisco and an army veteran who has long retreated from society, as the world they knew crumbles around them.

Excellent first part
Zero Day Code is one of those books that feels all too plausible due to the excellent world building complete with a rich tapestry of characters all on their own separate, engrossing, paths. Narrator Rupert Degas is a perfect match for author John Birmingham's material.

Excellent!
Superb narration from possibly my favourite narrator (I found this by searching for book read by him). Good story, what with one thing and another that’s going on just now it left me quite unsettled as fiction and reality seemed a bit too close! It had me hooked and planning incase we find our world going more off the rails than it is.

amazing book highly recommend it
Rupert Degas did an amazing job narrating this book,
and for the story itself, i loved how the author John Birmingham, didn't just focus on one character point of view and i love how he address the apocalyptic scenario. its not childish or a YA novel . 10/10 for that alone.

Great start to the trilogy…
Well paced, well thought through, well narrated. Like the characters - obviously a SHTF book meaning the characters we are going to be, or become, tough/intelligent/resourceful - but no silly gung-ho idiocy. Have just this second finished this book and am immediately starting on part 2 with part three already lined up.

Could be future fact rather than fiction
Rather a worrying story
This could be just around the corner
Hopefully it stays out of certain leaders hands (could give them ideas)
Great book wonderful narration
Can’t wait to get stuck in to the rest of the series

Disappointing end
Good story but feel it there is more to the story that could have been told. Disappointing ending
