He is assigned to a remote area in West Virginia to investigate the brutal murder of a Colonel and his entire family. The Colonel his wife and two children. And the body count continues to rise. He is the only investigator assigned to the case. His only help is from a local sergeant and homicide detective Samantha Cole. She and Puller become close and she unfortunately loses her life. Puller has been betrayed by his new superior. A traitor whose motivation is as old as time….monetary gain, money. A stupendous read!!! Enjoyed immensely!!

The use of the word haunches confirmed for this book.
The book starts pretty slow. Puller initially is pretty unlikable. He mansplaining everything to everyone and it’s pretty annoying.
Too wordy... maybe a little more romance and surprises

This was an awesome start to another series by Baldacci and I look forward to reading the rest! He quickly became a favorite author of mine just a few chapters in.
More than just nothing!

A well researched and constructed story, both violent and tender, but firmly leads the reader along through to the final conclusion before setting one in search of the next dose of entertaining prose from Mr. Baldacci.

Terrific read. Six stars. Many Jack Reacher parallels. But B. Should NOT have killed off the girl!

I can see some similarities in this and some of his other main characters he uses. This was not my favorite. It wasn’t bad, but I prefer his Memory Man series.

I consider books in a similar way that I consider other "works of art". Whether it be a painting, a sculpture, a poem, a symphony, architecture or something else created in the mind of the artist, I want to be "impressed" in the true sense of the word. Zero Day is without question impressive. At the same time I must admit that while the plot was not exactly 100% believable, the book was 100% entertaining and a definite page turner. A great read delivered by a true artist.

I have read many of Baldacci's books and loved them, the many twists and turns. About the time you think you have it figured out, you find something new. Although I enjoyed this book, I didn't find it to be as intriguing as his other books. I will read more with Puller as the,aim character since I do enjoy his adventures.
Great reading!

David Baldacci introduces us to John Puller in Zero Hour. This guy, a CID agent, could be exchanged easily for Lee Child's Jack Reacher. Any fan of Reacher will feel right at home following Puller through this escapade.
The remote location in West Virginia is a Reacher kind of place and the interaction with the locals is also typical. Even the rough action and problem solving methods are what you would expect from one of the Army's finest. This is a great story from a great writer and I hope we get pulled into more Puller adventures in the future!!

The Puller character is gonna be compared to Jack Reacher. That's just the way it is. And there are a lot of moments that feel like its Jack Reacher. But once you're past that you'll find a good book. Baldacci is a better writer than Lee Child. He does much better research. The weapons and military facts and military life were much much more accurate than the constant errors in a Reacher book. It's easier to get into the story because of that realism. You'd be surprised how distracting it is when a writer constantly misstates the number of rounds a handgun takes. Things like that don't happen here. Add in the superior storytelling and its a good time. I'd like to see how the character will develop over a few books.
Great action packed story

I loved reading another John Puller story! This was hard to put down and stop reading to attend to everyday life. The story kept you guessing and in the end gave you all the details you crave. I hope there will be more stories about John Puller.

Terrible. I agree with others that this character is a poor man's Reacher. But, what's worse is the completely unbelievable plot developments. SPOILER ALERT: one guy untrained in nuclear anything sent in to a possible ambush to be talked through defusing a nuclear device by his brother, a federal prisoner who also happens to be a nuclear bomb expert. . . Come on!

Have enjoyed all the Baldacci books I've read (All he's written, I believe). This is by far the poorest. It's long and dragged out. Doesn't hold the reader's interest. Was happy to have finally finished it. Hopefully this was just a fluke and future ones will be back on track.
WHY?!?!?!?

To Jadpack....here is a tip for you.....next time you write a review.......do not reveal the end of the book and ruin it for anyone reading the reviews who are trying to decide if they want to read the book!!!!
The author's a little off his game
Sommersboy

Good book. Good story. Character development of John Puller could be better. Comparisons with Lee Child's Jack Reacher are inevitable and Baldacci's job with Puller come off second best. If the author uses him again, maybe he'll do better. The story came to a conclusion pretty fast after a more measured pacing for most of the book. The book is better than ok, but not by a whole lot.

Baldacci is my hero When it comes to books but this book just did not do it for me. I rarely put any of his books down when I start them and this one was boring... Could not wait to get it over and done with.

A passable book but I agree that it is a Jack Reacher copycat. Even the female character is a takeoff of the one in Lee Childs book "The Affair".

Very much a slow read. This story was mediocre and at the end it just did not make sense.
Very disappointed in this work by an otherwise fine author.
There is just no point to the story and was very far fetched.
Loving this book!
