Erase yourself. The hunt has begun. Perfect for fans of \u003ci\u003eI Am Pilgrim\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Circle.\u003c\/i\u003e TWO \u003c\/b\u003eHOURS TO VANISH Ten people have been carefully selected to Beta test a ground-breaking piece of spyware. Pioneered by tech-wunderkind Cy Baxter, FUSION can track anyone wherever they are on earth. But does it work? \u003cb\u003eONE \u003c\/b\u003eCHANCE TO ESCAPE Each participant is given two hours to 'Go Zero' - to go off-grid and disappear - and then thirty days to elude the highly sophisticated Capture Teams sent to find them. Any Zero that beats FUSION will receive $3million in cash. If Cy's system prevails, he wins a $90 billion-dollar contract with the CIA to develop FUSION and revolutionize surveillance forever. \u003cb\u003eZERO \u003c\/b\u003eALTERNATIVES For contestant Kaitlyn Day, the stakes are far higher than money, and her reasons for entering the test more personal than Cy could have ever imagined. Kaitlyn needs to win to get what she wants, and Cy will stop at nothing to realize his ambitions. They have no choice but to finish the game and when the timer hits zero, there will only be one winner... \u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003ci\u003eGOING ZERO\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eGoing Zero\u003c\/i\u003e is the first novel I've read in years that speeds the pulse as much as it challenges the brain. That can-you-beat-the-system hook recalls the juggernaut likes of \u003ci\u003eReady Player One\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLost\u003c\/i\u003e, but \u003ci\u003eGoing Zero\u003c\/i\u003e outpaces them both, and dives deeper: it's a speculative-fiction classic in the vein (and even in the league) of \u003ci\u003eI, Robot\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJurassic Park \u003c\/i\u003e-- a thriller you can gobble down with a bucket of popcorn, and also feel smarter for having read. Provocative, perceptive, and -- no other word will do - ingenious.\" A.J. Finn, #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Woman in the Window\u003c\/i\u003e \"This is one of the best thrillers I've read in a long time, although the word 'thriller' doesn't quite capture the sheer pleasure of reading this story, with its wickedly clever set-up, its unassuming librarian protagonist, its twisty plot and surprise ending. Beyond pure entertainment is the truth this novel speaks about the disturbing times we live in. I highly, highly recommend this book.\" Douglas Preston, #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Cabinet of Dr. Leng \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The Lost City of the Monkey God\u003c\/i\u003e \"As fast-paced as it is timely...Anthony McCarten shoots a bullet through contemporary America with this wickedly taut conspiracy thriller.
