...the plot is frighteningly realistic --- or, worse, way too plausible. It won’t just keep you up all night; it may well ruin your sleep forever.

But Baldacci meets the true test of sucking a reader into his yarn.

Baldacci writes intimately about the US government and military...with a somewhat cynical eye while portraying his deep love for and belief in the US. It can be a tricky balance and he pulls it off well.

...a lot of acronyms are used that I don't know. They are defined but I didn't want to keep looking back in the book to be reminded.

While the story is sharp enough and better than average, you will find plenty of people who seem irked by his latest creation (beyond West Virginians).

It seems as though Baldacci has lost his spark in this often boring, fairly disappointing read.

John Puller is on my top ten list of investigators - can't wait until the next Jack Puller adventure.

Zero Day looks like the start of a new series. If so, my suggestion would be to improve upon the convoluted plot...

With the amount of information incorporated into the story, you aren’t just reading about Puller—you’re basically living his military life. Overall, a very well-researched, sophisticated, mystery.

Express | 27 Nov 2011
Baldacci’s strategy up to the dining dilemma works moderately well. Thereafter it spirals into a dive where the ground cannot arrive soon enough.

Making a strong anti-mining pitch, Baldacci brings up the issue repeatedly through the book. At the end of it, this is all the reader really takes home.

"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.

...you can’t read this book without constantly comparing it to Lee Child’s The Affair. The characters are too similar and the story lines too parallel.
