Zero Option (Bookcassette(r) Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent fast-paced read
Review: What more can I say?...This book had interesting characters, believable actions, and a story-line that captures and holds your interest. I listened to the unabridged audiobook version and you simply cannot beat reader "Dick Hill" for drawing the listener into a book. He's my favorite. This was my first P.T. Deutermann book -- and it prompted me to pick up another of his. An excellent author and book!

Summary: Enjoyable but not too plausible
Review: Without giving too much away, I came to a point in this book where I said to myself, "OK, if she's a mind-reader I'm just going to put this book down right now!" Well, lo and behold, she was a mind-reader - one of the weakest methods of plot advancement around - but I didn't follow through on my threat. I finished and, primarily, enjoyed this book. However, there IS no book really without the "mind-reading" character and I found her inclusion to be solely to help our hero learn what was going on. Deutermann didn't reach very deep into his bag of tricks this time. Otherwise, a top notch thriller.
