Going Zero: A Novel

Written by Anthony McCarten

Narrated by Marin Ireland

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.

[Aminata Miller · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The story grabs you from the first page and takes you on this roller coaster ride. It made me analyze my own life and how I’d get caught if I tried to go zero. I loved the twist. I wasn’t crazy about how it ended but overall it’s an amazing story.

A roller coaster ride! an intriguing page turner....but you also try not to think on how much of it is based on truth......loved the narrator too.

[Angel Tomasino · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It starts out really well, thrilling but it finishes rather predictable.

[Paul Robertson · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Started off interesting but then got really off track. A bit unbelievable.
