Book Summary
In "Zero Day," Ezekiel Boone presents a fast-paced thriller and horror novel where millions of lethal spiders threaten to exterminate humanity. U.S. President Stephanie Pilgrim faces a critical decision: exterminate all spiders or risk eliminating only the queens, following Professor Guyer’s theory. As the country crumbles following the destruction of more than a dozen cities by atomic bombs, Pilgrim and her loyalists must flee from military forces that do not support her plan. A work that combines action, science fiction, and horror, exploring whether the end of humanity will come at the hands of spiders or the species itself.

The U.S. government, led by President Stephanie Pilgrim, finds itself at a crossroads: attempt a mass extermination of the spiders or follow the controversial theory of Professor Guyer, which proposes attacking only the queen spiders to stop the invasion. The situation worsens when more than a dozen cities are devastated by atomic bombs in a desperate attempt to contain the plague.
