Zero Option

Written by P. T. Deutermann

Narrated by Dick Hill

When FBI Agent David Stafford finds himself on the Bureau's "out" list for publicly blowing the whistle on a corrupt colleague, he receives a low-profile assignment to investigate an Atlanta military base, where someone is suspected of auctioning off equipment without authorization.

Now a cylinder containing an extremely hazardous biochemical weapon is missing, and Stafford is on the trail of the thief—traveling from the hills of Georgia to the halls of the Pentagon—in a race to recover the weapon before it falls into enemy hands.

With strong characters and a plot that is frighteningly real, Deutermann's Zero Option is his most commercial novel yet, reminiscent of Tom Clancy and Nelson DeMille.

Reviews for Zero Option

[Ken Smith · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was very good... Scribd should get more of his stuff

[deaconbernie · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Simply stated, this book is a crackling good story that founders at the end. The ending is appropriate but Deutermann tries to do too much with it and ends up with a very mushy end.The concept of the story is illuminating and the competing entities are very well drawn even with Deutermann's tendency to make those near the top dummies, incompetents, and self-serving.
