Ruth Ware Zero Days Novels & Stories

The barren territory was a graveyard of old-world industry—a sprawling complex of rusted warehouses and skeletal factories looming against the night. Zero moved like he was born in the shadows, a silent command in every gesture. He’d point, and a member of the team would peel off to secure a point. He’d flick his fingers, and we’d advance. I followed, the bond a low hum, syncing my steps to his, making me aware of his every shift in weight, every calculated breath. It was infuriating. It was efficient.
