4.0 out of 5 stars Supernatural happenings in a nuclear age, November 10, 2005
This is a review of the audiobook version of Ground Zero by Kevin Anderson read by Gillian Anderson.
Set against the world of government sponsored nuclear weapons research , Ground Zero has agents Mulder and Scully investigating the death of a researcher who is blown to bits - but the rest of his office is intact. There is no known personal sized nuke- so what happened? The audiobook is read by Gillian Anderson , and the abridgement has the focus on Scully's part of the investigation and the unlikely supernatural conclusion that takes the agents to the south pacific and the site of a planned above ground test of a new super weapon.
Anderson's reading is great! I got a good chuckle out of her comments about how that Mulder's theories were bound to be way out there and not grounded in science. Well paced, the book moves along with action and theory and some cool supernatural mysticism concerning a lost tribe , wiped out by an above ground nuclear test in the 50s and their long journey to retribution and vengeance from beyond......

5.0 out of 5 stars The X-Files Ground Zero by: Kevin J. Anderson, April 12, 2002
A Kid's Review
Kevin J. Anderson crafted not only an X-Files masterpiece, but also a science-fiction masterpiece. Ground Zero is an action-packed science-fiction thriller. I love it is worth every cent. Kevin J. Anderson wrote both Mulder and Scully perfectly in tune with their TV personalities. Ground Zero really deserved it's number one spot on the London Times Bestseller's List. IF YOU ARE AN X-PHILE, OR YOU JUST LIKE THE X-FILES, THEN YOU HAVE TO GET THIS BOOK! Ground Zero is a book about a typical X-File, people die under mysterious circumstances on federal property so Mulder and Scully are called in. Ground Zero is pretty much about nuclear weapons, nuclear weapon testing, and one man's revenge. It all starts at a nuclear weapons research facility where Dr. Emil Gregory sits down to work. Eventually his secretary brings him a package. In the package is a ziploc baggy containing a strange black ash and a note that says "for your part in the past". A short time after that there is a power shortage in Dr. Gregory's office. After a minute of panicking, a fireball spontaneously appears in the center of the office and engulfs Dr. Gregory.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 30, 1996
By A Customer
I have to admit that I am a fan of "The X-Files" television series. I enjoy the interaction of the characters, their wit, and the way many things are left unsaid, leaving the watcher to wonder. I read Ground Zero to see if those qualities could transfer to the written media. Unfortunately, I found that the book's portrayal of those qualities was limited at best. I suppose, in the end, only David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson can bring the characters of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully to life. In Ground Zero Agents Mulder and Scully are assigned the case of the mysterious murder of a nuclear physicist. The book isn't horribly written, although it is very simple. I would only recommend this novel to die-hard "X-Files" fans
