Summary
John Puller is a former war hero and now the best military investigator in the U.S. Army’s Criminal Investigative Division. He is a loner with few possessions by preference, but he has an indomitable spirit and an unstoppable determination for finding the truth. His father was the most decorated U.S. Marine in history, but now resides in a nursing home far from his battlefield glory. Puller’s older brother, also a military vet, is serving a life sentence in Leavenworth Penitentiary. Puller is called out to a remote, rural area far from any military outpost to investigate into the brutal murder of a family in their home. The dead husband was in the army and the wife worked for a Pentagon contractor. The local homicide detective, a woman with personal demons of her own, clashes with Puller over the investigation. What neither of them knows is what is waiting for them across the street from the murdered family’s home. It is something that will turn an already complicated case on its head. As Puller digs through deception after red herring, he realizes that absolutely nothing, and nobody, he’s so far seen in this small town, are what they seem. He is truly one man against an overwhelming force.

Excellent story and narration
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.

Definitely unputdownable
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.

Gun talk
Have been recommended after finishing all the Jeffrey Deaver books. The characters weren't as rounded as JD's but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Narration and music worked well - better to have a woman voicing female characters. Got a bit bored with all the 'gun talk'. Maybe because I'm in the UK, and we don't revere them over here. The climax of the story was preposterous but still enjoyable. Will listen to the next in the series.

The next level of audiobook?
Yes, yes there are similarities to jack reacher. No denying it.
However. I love the reacher books and I still really enjoyed Zero Day. My enjoyment of the latter wasn't tainted by the former.
I read some reviews stating the dramatic music was off putting and too loud. Horses for courses but I found it took the book and the story to a new level.
Both narrators were really good and having male voice playing make parts and female voice playing females was excellent.
I will go to the next book in the series without a doubt.
One minus perhaps. We get that this guy is in the Army, does he really need to mention it in every interaction?! Other than that, loved it.

Zero day
Throughly enjoyed the book, and, unlike the review another reviewer left I quite enjoyed the music as it was very atmospheric.

Beware loud music
This story was very enjoyable and well up to David Baldacci's usual standard. The narration was also very good, and it helped to have two narrators. So much for the positives. For me there was one overwhelming negative, and that was the loud intrusive "music" and sound effects which covered quite long sessions of narration. Perhaps it's an age thing, but I found it very difficult to hear the story in parts - it was so bad I almost abandoned the book about an hour from the end. I suppose book producers think it adds atmosphere or is clever, and perhaps some listeners like it. To me it's just very ANNOYING, like trying to read a book in a crowded room. I wish book descriptions would issue warnings of this sort of addition to the narration as it seems to be an increasing trend. I won't be taking a chance on any recent David Baldacci books in future.

Compulsive listening
What did you like most about Zero Day: John Puller, Book 1?
A good story although a little obvious in places. It held my interest and I wanted to get the answers, which were explained very satisfactorily in the penultimate chapter.
Which character – as performed by Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy – was your favourite?
Sgt, Cole
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I could have done but it was too long to do so. I had to listen to it over 3 days. I was a lways excited to get to the next part
Any additional comments?
I thought that the music and sound effects detracted from the enjoyment of the narration for me but loved the idea of male and female narrators
