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.

Amazing story that just kinda stops
Some really great characters, realistic plot and great atmosphere which is ruined when the author just kinda stops writing when it starts getting really good. I felt a bit cheated to be honest.

Excellent
As a fan of John Birmingham's Axis of Time and Disappearance series (books I thoroughly recommend if you enjoyed this) I was surprised to stumble across this, having not realise he'd written an audiobook.
The plot itself isn't anything remarkable, nor is it anything that hasn't been written before, however, the way in which it has been written is really good and a good narrator only brings it to life more.
Which brings me on to the next point: Rupert Degas. As a Brit I can't say I'd ever heard of him before, and I will admit I have limited audiobook experience, but Degas' narration, intonation and the way he voices the characters is excellent. I can't wait to get stuck into the second half of the series, and can only hope Mr Birmingham writes more in this vein.

Fantastic!
I listen to a lot of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction and I can honestly say that this is one of the best written, most original books I've had the pleasure to experience. I will, without doubt, be reading any and all sequels and I recommend any fans of this genre to do the same. I don't think I need to say any more
