'Provocative, perceptive and ingenious' - A J Finn, author of The Woman in the Window

A high-concept thriller from Oscar-nominated screenwriter Anthony McCarten.

A New York Times Best Thriller Pick for 2023

TWO
HOURS TO VANISH

Ten people are selected to Beta test a ground-breaking piece of spyware. Pioneered by tech-wunderkind Cy Baxter, FUSION can track anyone on earth.

ONE CHANCE TO WIN

Given two hours to 'Go Zero' - disappear off-grid - each Zero has thirty days to elude the sophisticated Capture Teams sent to find them. Anyone that beats FUSION will receive $3 million. If Cy's system proves itself, he wins a $90 billion contract with the CIA to revolutionize surveillance forever.

ZERO ALTERNATIVES TO LOSING

For Zero 10, Kaitlyn Day, the stakes are higher than money, and far more personal than Cy could have imagined. Kaitlyn needs to win to get what she wants, and Cy will stop at nothing to realize his ambitions. When the game's timer hits zero, there will only be one winner. . .

'One of the best thrillers I've read in a long time. . . pure entertainment' - Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Pendergast series

'As fast-paced as it is timely. . . wickedly taut' - Graham Moore, author of The Holdout

Rezensionen
"Going Zero is the first novel I've read in years that speeds the pulse as much as it challenges the brain. That can-you-beat-the-system hook recalls the juggernaut likes of Ready Player One and Lost, but Going Zero outpaces them both, and dives deeper: it's a speculative-fiction classic in the vein (and even in the league) of I, Robot and Jurassic Park-a thriller you can gobble down with a bucket of popcorn, and also feel smarter for having read. Provocative, perceptive, and-no other word will do-ingenious." - A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

"Crackling . . . Shimmers with alarming portents about the state we find ourselves in" . . . . How can some random 'unsavvy citizen' . . . outwit the world's sharpest spyware experts? The answer is more tangled than you might think, and a great deal of fun." - Sarah Lyall, The New York Times Book Review

"This is one of the best thrillers I've read in a long time, although the word 'thriller' doesn't quite capture the sheer pleasure of reading this story, with its wickedly clever set-up, its unassuming librarian protagonist, its twisty plot and surprise ending. Beyond pure entertainment is the truth this novel speaks about the disturbing times we live in. I highly, highly recommend this book." - Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Cabinet of Dr. Leng and The Lost City of the Monkey God

"As fast-paced as it is timely...Anthony McCarten shoots a bullet through contemporary America with this wickedly taut conspiracy thriller. I'll never look at my phone the same way again." - Graham Moore, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Days of Night and The Sherlockian

"Going Zero starts out as an action adventure thriller-part The Amazing Race, part Hunted USA, part Michael Crichton technothriller . . . . But it's not all action: McCarten is a screenwriter, and knows just when to pump the brakes to let the characters shine through, and the plot thicken. Ultimately, if the prospect of a digital Big Brother wasn't terrifying you up until now, allow Going Zero to rectify that." - Amazon Books

"A story that is timely, frightening, exciting, suspenseful, and surprising . . . .There are a lot of well-crafted characters . . . and secrets and neck-wrenching plot twists abound . . . The subject of high-tech surveillance has become a hot-button issue, and McCarten cleverly and plausibly extrapolates from today's technology to what we may well see tomorrow. An outstanding thriller." - Booklist (starred review)

". . . an edgy, compulsively readable thriller." - Publishers Weekly

"This well-written yarn proves that you don't have to have a blood bath to have an engaging thriller." - Kirkus Reviews

"Going Zero is clever, intelligent, action-packed, exciting and full of surprises. This novel belongs on top of your TBR list!" - BookTrib

"[A] relentless new nailbiter from novelist and playwright Anthony McCarten. It is a speculative thriller very much in the vein of a top-ranked video game or, believe it or not, of our current daily news coverage. . . . . It's all intended to be a cautionary tale, and it is awfully good as such, but McCarten's genuine skill lies in the sleek, cunning way he relishes pulling the rug out from under us time and again." - Anniston Star

"In a world grappling with cell phone tracking and AI overreach, this is a timely and absorbing tale." - Audiofile Magazine

"Fast-paced and shrill, Going Zero will find plenty of fans." - Reviewing the Evidence

"This is a great action-thriller, with major twists and turns, and you will not want to put it down. It will be one of the best books of the year." - RedCarpetCrash
