‘You will not sleep until you are finished with AGENT ZERO. A superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. The description of the action scenes transport us into a reality that is almost like sitting in a movie theater with surround sound and 3D (it would make an incredible Hollywood movie). I can hardly wait for the sequel.’
–Roberto Mattos, Books and Movie Reviews

COUNTDOWN ZERO is book #18 in the #1 bestselling AGENT ZERO series, from #1 bestselling and USA Today bestselling author Jack Mars (with over 10,000 five-star reviews). The series begins with AGENT ZERO (Book #1), a free download.

Beneath the ocean’s surface lurks a submarine gone rogue, threatening coastal chaos with hypersonic missiles unless their ransom demands are met.

With only 24 hours to halt the countdown to devastation, Agent Zero must navigate a deadly game of cat and mouse beneath the waves—a game where one wrong move could lead to catastrophic consequences.

The AGENT ZERO saga offers a gripping journey packed with unexpected turns and dynamic action, keeping you enthralled from start to finish. At the core of this thrilling series is an engrossing relationship between a father and his daughter, which is sure to keep you reading voraciously until the early hours.
