About this title

Review

Including firsthand accounts of actions at Waco and Ruby Ridge, Cold Zero is alternately funny, exciting and disturbing. -- Publishers' Weekly, August 2001

From the Publisher

'At last a hard hitting, pacy and grittily realistic account of life in the fast lane of the FBI...fascinating, authentic and utterly compelling' Andy McNab

'An absolutely terrific read; storytelling at its best. Chris Whitcomb is that rare treasure, a man who has led the life of incredible adventure and danger and who can deliver every mesmerizing detail with the skill and wit of a seasoned novelist.' David Baldacci

'Chris Whitcomb's writing has the hard, flat trajectory of the weapons he was trained to fire. I could not stop reading his account of the intense, murky world he was once a part of. I love this book.' Sebastian Junger
