Reviews
"This is one of the best thrillers I've read in a long time, although the word 'thriller' doesn't quite capture the sheer pleasure of reading this story, with its wickedly clever set-up, its unassuming librarian protagonist, its twisty plot and surprise ending. Beyond pure entertainment is the truth this novel speaks about the disturbing times we live in. I highly, highly recommend this book." -- Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Cabinet of Dr. Leng and The Lost City of the Monkey God "As fast-paced as it is timely...Anthony McCarten shoots a bullet through contemporary America with this wickedly taut conspiracy thriller. I'll never look at my phone the same way again." -- Graham Moore, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Days of Night and The Sherlockian "Going Zero is the first novel I've read in years that speeds the pulse as much as it challenges the brain. That can-you-beat-the-system hook recalls the juggernaut likes of Ready Player One and Lost, but Going Zero outpaces them both, and dives deeper: it's a speculative-fiction classic in the vein (and even in the league) of I, Robot and Jurassic Park--a thriller you can gobble down with a bucket of popcorn, and also feel smarter for having read. Provocative, perceptive, and--no other word will do--ingenious." -- A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window "Going Zero starts out as an action adventure thriller--part The Amazing Race, part Hunted USA, part Michael Crichton technothriller . . . . But it's not all action: McCarten is a screenwriter, and knows just when to pump the brakes to let the characters shine through, and the plot thicken. Ultimately, if the prospect of a digital Big Brother wasn't terrifying you up until now, allow Going Zero to rectify that." -- Amazon Books "A story that is timely, frightening, exciting, suspenseful, and surprising . . . .There are a lot of well-crafted characters . . . and secrets and neck-wrenching plot twists abound . . . The subject of high-tech surveillance has become a hot-button issue, and McCarten cleverly and plausibly extrapolates from today's technology to what we may well see tomorrow. An outstanding thriller." -- Booklist (starred review) ". . . an edgy, compulsively readable thriller." -- Publishers Weekly "This well-written yarn proves that you don't have to have a blood bath to have an engaging thriller." -- Kirkus Reviews "Going Zero is clever, intelligent, action-packed, exciting and full of surprises. This novel belongs on top of your TBR list!" -- BookTrib "This is a great action-thriller, with major twists and turns, and you will not want to put it down. It will be one of the best books of the year." -- RedCarpetCrash, "This is one of the best thrillers I've read in a long time, although the word 'thriller' doesn't quite capture the sheer pleasure of reading this story, with its wickedly clever set-up, its unassuming librarian protagonist, its twisty plot and surprise ending.

Synopsis
TWO HOURS TO VANISH. ONE CHANCE TO ESCAPE. ZERO ALTERNATIVES. Ten Americans have been carefully selected to Beta test a ground-breaking piece of spyware. FUSION can track anyone on earth. But does it work? For one contestant, an unassuming Boston librarian named Kaitlyn Day, the stakes are far higher than money, and her reasons for entering the test more personal than anyone imagines. When the timer hits zero, there will only be one winner... From four-time Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Anthony McCarten comes a breakneck, wickedly entertaining thriller for our times, a twisty, action-packed novel reminiscent of the best Michael Crichton technothrillers.

    Eye opening, compelling, edge- of- your seat ride through somewhat scary tactics of identification.

    I love that not only did I enjoy trying to predict how or who would win in the race against who would be captured before zero hour but I also learned a lot about government offices and technology. Love the ending! It will make a terrific movie....can't wait!
