About this listen

'One of the world's thriller masters' – Daily Mail

Zero Day
is the explosive first instalment in David Baldacci's thrilling John Puller series, featuring a gifted investigator with an unstoppable drive to find out the truth . . .

* * * * *


Distinguished as a top investigator in the US government, John Puller is called in to conduct an enquiry into the brutal murders of a family in a remote area of West Virginia. It soon becomes clear that the case has wider implications and as the body count rises he teams up with local homicide detective Samantha Cole. As the web of deceit is revealed, it quickly becomes apparent that there's much more to this case than they had first thought. It is an investigation where nothing is as it seems, and nothing can be taken at face value.

When Puller and Cole discover a dangerous situation in the making, Puller finds he must turn to the one person who can help avert certain catastrophe. A person he has known all his life.

In a breathtaking rollercoaster race against time, Cole fears for the community in which she was raised, and Puller knows he has to overcome the enemies of his country to avoid far reaching disaster.

But in the end, you can't kill what you can't see is coming . . .

Continue this fast-paced, breathtaking series with The Forgotten, The Escape, No Man's Land and Daylight.

Critic reviews

Readers expect excitement and intrigue in David Baldacci's books, and Zero Day is no exception . . . As Baldacci's new hero narrowly escapes countless close calls, the pairing of the author's imagination and knowledge create a wild ride for the reader. Puller is gutsy, brash and likable. Best of all, he survives to reappear in the next book of this new series.
Zero Day is a nifty, paranoid thriller disguised as a murder mystery, and Baldacci advances it at a speedy clip with a nice mix of intrigue, tantalizing clues and the occasional explosion . . . Baldacci's books are fast-paced battles between good and evil.

Read by the same pairing as The Innocent, this is a cracking, fast paced story with good production value. Not all audios have the little sound affects but once you get used to it, you'll find it adds to the tension. Used very sparingly here so as not to overdo it.
Ron's voice is gravel city and he really keeps the interest up with great characterisations. Same for Orlagh, and the pairing really works.
Thoroughly recommended if you like your thrillers with some action.

Excellent story and narration

Ex Military Police, with a propensity to slap down real thug-like baddies and appealing to the alpha-females. Modern day western. Don't take it seriously and it will be a lot of fun. Take it seriously and your brain will rot.

Jack Reacher II?

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

This was my first David Baldacci book. I thought it had some good plot lines and kept me guessing

Would you be willing to try another book from David Baldacci? Why or why not?

I would give him another try but maybe with a different main character

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The performances were good if not great

If this book were a film would you go see it?

Yes as long as Tom Cruise wasn't the lead

Any additional comments?

I felt all along that this was such a copy of a Jack Reacher that it was almost identity theft and it made me lose respect for the author. Couldn't he think up his own characters?

Pale copy of Lee Childs' Jack Reacher

Another Baldacci book that as with many of his other books is even better to listen too. Brilliantly written and wonderfully long. Great for a holiday read/listen.

Definitely unputdownable

Not quite Jack Reacher, but Puller does the business. I look forward to reading or listening to the next book's in the series.

Gripping.
