Zero Day is the first book in the John Puller series by David Baldacci.

This is my first David Baldacci book, and I plan to read more. This is more like a 3.5-star read. I finished feeling very satisfied, with an interesting ending but not too pat or perfect. But it lost a point or so during the parts where the author becomes very detailed, and the characters seem a little too dumb.

1.5 stars raised to 2 stars. I've really liked the Amos Decker series, so far, so I thought I'd try this one. It wasn't nearly as interesting as the Amos Decker series.
