As the technology grows, our lives become easy and so does the threat of misusing the technology. When knowledge becomes two edged sword, life becomes uncertain. Zero Day by S Hussain Zaudi is a mirror that faces the society. Terrorism is no longer about the guns on the border of Kashmir.
Zero Day by Hussain Zaidi

The plot
My review
The plot takes off at a slow pace unlike the thrillers which are set in a background of terrorist attacks. Once the team is set the plot thickens and have several layers. The complications of carrying out a clandestine investigation inside the ATS office with a representative of the DIG in the team comes across as an engaging add on to the already enchanting investigation.
Other characters that are accomplices are also given space but mostly the plot revolves around vikrant..
The style of narration, particularly the idiosyncrasies of Vikrant points to the fact that the book would possibly be adapted into a movie or web series.
Vikrant’s character develops slowly with the plot and as the plot thickens his character receives a definition. However, Mirza comes across as a stereotypical senior who is in support of the protagonist, without any more detailing.
The book is an indication of what might happen to the country and the possible loop holes in the system. Hussain Zaidi, the master of terrorist stories has once again proven his finesse

We are living in the days of terrorism, so this sounds so much in with the times. I am curious about how technically sound the book is when it comes to writing about conducting such operations.
I have read and reviewed this book and totally loved it. Inspite of it's thickness I finished it in a go as the story was deeply intriguing.
The story sounds solid, getting the feeling of something never heard before. I would love to see this book & story get adapted into a movie or a web series. Just reading a few lines about the story plot, it gave me goosebumps. I am definitely getting this book to read.
The book is definetly not a light read as it portrays delicate topic like terrorism. I love to read books that involves lot of suspense and investigation. Thank you for sharing your review.
The book is going to be quite eye opener, shocking and about power play, mirror that faces the society would definitely be a good read
I am not much into reading terrorist stories . but I had heard a lot about the author and his great writing style before. I am sure this book is a great read for all those who like thrillers or terrorist stories. as usual, you review was crisp and precise.
Zero Day seems like a fast paced action thriller. It's been a while since I read a story on terrorism. Hope it's available on Kindle.
I saw this book somewhere online but I didn't think it was a story meant for my. Will let my reader friend know about this. I think they will connect with it more.
Wow… that actually sounds like a TV series. What you said in the first paragraph is true. "As the technology grows, our lives become easy and so does the threat of misusing the technology". Those who get in the trap don't realize when their greed make them helpless and they find excuses for their actions.
I wish we could go back to the pre internet days. Life was much simpler. Your Zero day review is really very good. Hussain Zaidi seems to be a terrorist special. Cyber terrorism will be the future of the world it seems.
