Publisher's Synopsis
When FBI Agent David Stafford finds himself on the Bureau's "out" list for publicly blowing the whistle on a corrupt colleague, he receives a low-profile assignment to investigate an Atlanta military base, where someone is suspected of auctioning off equipment without authorization.
Now a cylinder containing an extremely hazardous biochemical weapon is missing, and Stafford is on the trail of the thief--traveling from the hills of Georgia to the halls of the Pentagon--in a race to recover the weapon before it falls into enemy hands.
With strong characters and a plot that is frighteningly real, Deutermann's Zero Option is his most commercial novel yet, reminiscent of Tom Clancy and Nelson DeMille.
