“You will not sleep until you are finished with AGENT ZERO. The author did a superb job creating a set of characters who are fully developed and very much enjoyable. The description of the action scenes transport us into a reality that is almost like sitting in a movie theater with surround sound and 3D (it would make an incredible Hollywood movie). I can hardly wait for the sequel.”–Roberto … sequel.”
–Roberto Mattos, Books and Movie Reviews
In this much-anticipated debut of an epic spy thriller series by #1 bestseller Jack Mars, readers are taken on an action thriller across Europe as presumed-CIA operative Kent Steele, hunted by terrorists, by the CIA, and by his own identity, must solve the mystery of who is after him, of the terrorists’ pending target—and of the beautiful woman he keeps seeing in his mind.
Kent Steele, 38, a brilliant professor of European History at Columbia University, lives a quiet life in a New York suburb with his two teenage daughters. All that changes when late one night he gets a knock on his door and is abducted by three terrorists—and finds himself flown across the ocean to be interrogated in a basement in Paris.
They are convinced that Kent is the most lethal spy the CIA has ever known.
He is convinced they have the wrong man.
Do they?
With a conspiracy around him, adversaries as smart as he is, and an assassin on his tail, the wild game of cat and mouse leads Kent on a perilous road—one that may lead back to Langley—and to a shocking discovery of his own identity.
AGENT ZERO is an espionage thriller that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
“One of the best thrillers I have read this year.”

Great book!!
Engrossing and packed with non stop action…perhaps a tad too much? Not much time for a breather.
Agent Zero is a spy thriller inspired by the Bourne Identity. Reid Lawson, a happy history professor with two daughters, is kidnapped and tortured by several Arabs who are convinced he’s some sort of super spy. Turns out they are right. When a memory suppressing chip is removed from Lawson’s head, he begins having scattered memories of a different life and continually discovers skills he didn’t know he had. He needs those skills, because as he tries to find out how he got where he is, just about everyone tries to kill him out of fear he already knows what they’re doing.
This is a fast-moving novel with tons of action and even more twists and turns. By any definition, it’s a lot of fun. If you like the spy thriller genre, this book has a lot to offer you.
A real page turner
The beginning really got me excited for the book. Then as the story went on it kinda reminded me of a cheaper version of The Bourne Identity. I read other Jack Mars books so I will give the second in this series a chance.
Reminds me of Ludlum, Helen MacInnes and others. Kept you wanting more
I really liked the idea of an ex-CIA agent who forgets his past and then is thrown back into a mission to take out terrorists. There were definitely a couple twists and unexpected events that I really liked. Great plot and characters! Would definitely recommend!
Fannnnnntastic!
On minute Reid Lawson, associate professor, is making plans to go shopping with his daughter Maya to buy a dress for a valentines date, and the next he’s being kidnapped from his home by three terrorists and transported to Paris in a cargo plane. This book is action-packed, with nonstop uncertainty, torture, and deaths. Parts seem unbelievable, but Kent Steele -also known as Agent Zero – is a premiere assassin and CIA agent. Kent Steele is Reid Lawson’s alter ego. The basic plot is that Amun, a sort of worldwide consortium of terrorists, is about to commit a huge act of terrorism. And only Agent Zero can stop them. The location jumps from Paris to Belgium to Switzerland to Rome, with Zero moving by car, motorbike, train and hitchhiking. This book has something for everyone. Surprisingly, the book doesn’t feel overly violent or bloody, and Zero is quite a likable character. I recommend this book if you like thrillers.
This book held my interest from the first page. One of the best books I have read!
Excellent read. You’ll want to finish and read into the night
Excellent read. Author seems to have knowledge of popular weapons but misses obvious details. For example, a Glock does not have an external safety.
Excellent book….intense. keeps you on the edge of your seat….highly recommend.
Very entertaining.
I enjoyed this book. The story is another one where the hero overcomes multiple injuries and eventually the bad guys. The premise was interesting, but the star was little to heroic.
A very entertaining book and excellent action. One of the few books that I looked forward to reading night after night. All in all a fun enjoyable book.
Why 4 stars? I enjoyed the book so much that I was going to buy the next in the series even though it appeared that he was going to be returning as an agent; however, Target Zero review stated that its end was a cliff hanger meaning that I had to buy the next of the series. The cliff hanger turned me off. Just being forced to buy the next series, not good! Ignoring my personal hang-ups, Agent Zero rated 5 stars …. one of the very few.
Loved the twists and turns
Boring and dry, I couldn’t finish it
Fast moving with plenty of action. A pretty interesting character.
Really enjoyed this action packed suspense novel and can’t wait to read the next one.
