Narrated by Ray Chase.<\/p>\n<p>PLEASE TO ENJOY.<\/p>\n<p>BoingBoing says: &#8220;Chuck Wendig&#8217;s new technothriller\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0062351559\/downandoutint-20\">Zeroes<\/a>\u00a0is a hacker misfit tale in the lineage of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0792838467\/downandoutint-20\">War Games<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0783226004\/downandoutint-20\">Sneakers<\/a>, true to the spirit (and often, the minutae) of security work, and exciting as hell to boot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>NPR says: &#8220;Wendig is an ace at pacing, and he hurtles the reader through hacking sequences and action scenes with equal bang. It&#8217;s not an easy task to make a sitting-and-typing session feel nail-bitingly tense, but\u00a0<em>Zer0es<\/em>&#8216; high-octane blend of nervy characters, dark humor and bristling dialogue carry the day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nerdist says: &#8220;Wendig writes a story that plays hide and seek with a coming apocalypse, a dangerous technology, a growing cult, and international politics. At its center are people who can hack \u2013 hack computers, communities, people, and more \u2013 and the government agencies that are trying to maintain their grip on reality, virtual and not. If you\u2019re in the mood to be scared silly by the possibilities we create when we mesh our lives with technology, definitely give this a read.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can nab it from:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1RKXU3V\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Amazon Audible<\/span><\/a> | <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/audiobook\/zeroes-a-novel-unabridged\/id1075418111?ign-mpt=uo%3D4\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a><\/span>\u00a0|\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.harpercollins.com\/9780062460110\/zeroes\" target=\"_blank\">HarperCollins<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want hardcover or e-book:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780062351555\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Indiebound<\/span><\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/23sZ3B2\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Amazon<\/span><\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/zeroes-chuck-wendig\/1120611732?ean=9780062351555\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/zeroes\/id945048597?mt=11\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">iTunes<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(Also, the mass market paperback version comes out in May.)<\/p>\n<p>I would also like to turn your attention to some other awesome books out this week:<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Hearne&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1nMZ4zo\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>STAKED<\/strong><\/span><\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Robert Jackson Bennett&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1RKZ5QI\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>CITY OF BLADES<\/strong><\/span><\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Charlie Jane Anders&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/23qJHwJ\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>ALL THE BIRDS IN THE SKY<\/strong><\/span><\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Matt Wallace&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1RKZ7rR\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>LUSTLOCKED<\/strong><\/span><\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/1nMYZeQ\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Also there is a new Tim Powers novel out why the fuck didn&#8217;t you people tell me<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, Scott Frank, one of my mentors at the Sundance Screenwriting Lab, is a man responsible for a world of amazing films &#8212; Out of Sight, A Walk Among the Tombstones, The Lookout among them.
