Over the Atlantic, an airliner's controls suddenly stop reacting. In Japan, an oil tanker runs aground when its navigational system fails. In the Midwest, a nuclear power plant nearly becomes the next Chernobyl. At first, these computer failures seem unrelated. But Jeff Aiken, a former government analyst who saw the mistakes made before 9/11, fears that there may be a more serious attack coming. And he soon realizes that there isn't much time if he hopes to stop an international disaster. Zero Day presents a chilling "what if" scenario written in the vein of Richard A. Clarke and Daniel Suarez.
Reviews with the most likes.
I really wanted to like this book. I really did. Of all people, Mark Russinovich should have been able to tap into his experience with computer security to write something really amazing. Instead he wrote something that was simply too full of clichés. He even went so far as to associate the events of 9/11 to the protagonist's past to gain sympathy from the reader instead of writing something that makes the reader care.
Zero Day was poorly written and the plot was poorly developed.
