Search - The Zero Game

The book gets very involved at times - I found myself loosing interest but
I did finish.

A fast paced political thriller! Sometimes a game is just not a game. This is a great book! My heart raced and the pages flew by :)

This was a very good story. It keeps you reading. He gives you a lot of description, so you feel as though you are there also. Surprises at every turn of the page.

If you like Brad Meltzer and Washington,D.C. intrique you will enjoy this book!

Very enjoyable read. Very clever plot elements.

I've never read a book that better illustrates the inner workings of our government in Washington, D.C. Meltzer takes you there because he's been there. You can tell this idea has been bouncing around in his head since he was a congressional intern himself. A wild ride that I'm really glad I got on!

Matthew and Harris have been friends for a long time. Both land a job at Washington's Capital Hill. They devise a game called The Zero Game.A game so secretive nobody knows about. But somebody else knows about the game and when somebody close to them winds up dead,the game becomes more complicated. From the secret underground tunnels of the Capitol to an abandoned gold mine it is an unrelenting suspenseful book. Could'nt put it down for a minute.

Matthew Mercer and Harris Sandler are playing a mysterious game. It's a game almost no one knows about -- not their friends, not their coworkers, and certainly not their bosses, who are some of the most powerful senators and congressmen on Capitol Hill.

It's a game that has everything: risk, reward, mystery, and the thrill of knowing that -- just by being invited to play -- you've confirmed your status as a true power broker in Washington.

But as Matthew and Harris quickly discover, the Zero Game is hiding a secret so explosive that it will shake Washington to its core. And when someone close to them winds up dead, Harris and Matthew realize this game is far more sinister than they ever imagined. As the bull's-eye turns their way, it's clear they're about to recome the game's next victims.

In a frenetic chase from the secret tunnels under the Capitol to an abandoned gold mind halfway across the country, the two friends realize they're no longer players in the game -- they're pawns. On the run, they turn to the only person they can trust: a sixteen-year-old Senate page who can move around the Capitol undetected. As a ruthless killer creeps closer, this idealistic young page not only holds the key to their safety, but is the one person who can redeem them in the process.

Packed with high-octane suspense and heart-pounding action, THE ZERO GAME is Brad Meltzer at his super-charged best.
