A modern city can feed itself for nine days. No more. And when the panic starts...
In the pulse-pounding thriller Zero Day Code by best-selling author John Birmingham, civilization unravels at a keystroke. Chinese cyber strikes pierce the heart of the free world-no food, no water, no power. America starves, and darkness descends, igniting a global cataclysm.
From the chaos, a small band of survivors emerges. James O'Donnell, a shrewd farm boy turned market analyst, unearths the truth behind the digital Pearl Harbor. Michele Nguyen, enigmatic agent of the Deep State, carves a path out of a crippled capital. And Jodie Sarjanen, a fierce single mother, navigates the ruins of San Francisco.
As society reaches breaking point, unlikely heroes brave a treacherous world of newfound friends and ruthless enemies like Jonas Murdoch, a charismatic firebrand who leads the dangerous Legion of Freedom.
Not since Stephen King's monumental epic 'The Stand' has a novelist worked on such a grand scale, where the end of days is just the beginning-when every choice could be your last, and the battle for tomorrow is waged today.
Praise for John Birmingham's books.
Brilliant... a tour de force... John Birmingham's ability to seamlessly merge the gritty realism of Tom Clancy with the raw speculation of Michael Crichton is like nothing else I've ever read. James Rollins, author of The Doomsday Key.
