Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

David Baldacci as the author is almost a guarantee for a good read. True also for this book, which obviously starts a new series with John Puller as the main figure. John is an investigator with the US Army and is sent out to Drake, a remote coal mining town in West Virginia. Puller is suspicious about this assignment, as he is sent there alone, rather than together with a whole team.
The book is easy to read and keeps you wanting to continue. It is possible to guess some things, but that's ok. The story strongly goes in the direction of the "Jack Reacher" books by Lee Child. What I found a bit disturbing at times is, that John Puller is too much of a hero; he's just too good and able to do too many things without help. Also the momentousness of the plot, the bad guys have been planning, is a bit too big for my liking. Nevertheless, Zero Day offers good entertainment for a couple of hours.
