Publisher's Summary

Sergeant Jo Barnes (Hilary Swank) and her elite, all-female US Army investigative team are renowned for cracking complex sex-crime cases within the military. Their latest mission takes them to the Mojave Desert at Fort Irwin Army Base in California, to unravel the mysterious disappearance of Private Nichelle Simmons—a soldier who accused a comrade of assault. But when the accused is inexplicably set free, their case takes a sinister turn.

As Jo, Maddie (Christine Ko), and Luna (Melonie Diaz) delve deeper, they encounter resistance at every turn. Facing a race against time, the trio is determined to uncover the truth at all costs, confronting dangerous adversaries who are capable of anything—even murder.

Coauthored by James Patterson and Duane Swierczynski, Zero Tolerance is a heart-stopping thriller.

Not brilliant but fairly enjoyable

The author’s knowledge of military protocols clearly left something to be desired, but the story itself was pretty engaging for one that was this short. The performances were mostly good too, although I thought the Baldwin character was somewhat over-acted most of the time. There were a couple of stutters in the audio playback as well, but nothing bad enough to ruin the experience. So on the whole I found this to be a reasonably enjoyable listen even though it had some flaws.

I really enjoyed this.

I love Hilary Swank so I was pleased to see an audible original with her name in it.

Adequately Entertaining

There's nothing *particularly* impressive about this Radioplay. The writing is television screenplay-quality (realistic dialogue with enough description embedded in the text to create mind's-eye imagery).. but unspectacular overall.
Duane Swierczynski - along with insanely prolific author James Patterson - puts together a creditable Crime/Cover-Up plot that frequently reminded me of 'A Few Good Men'.. while succumbing to some "Entitled Rich Frat Boy" clichés when dealing with the perpetrators.

The Full Cast performance is likewise hit & miss: voice-acted nicely, emotive, and backed up by exemplary technical support from Audible Originals Inc.. but burdened with exceptionally quick cuts that make the recording seem "rushed" somehow. A fraction of a second delay between lines and very slightly increased intervals between scene changes would have improved this recording markedly.

Altogether, 'Zero Tolerance' is a fine way to spend a quiet afternoon. As an included ('Plus') selection, this 6/10-star offering is definitely worth a download.. but spend your Credit on something else should they ask for one.

Entertaining

The storyline is fast. I can see this being a series. The narration was very good. Fan of Hilary Swank. Well done as per James Patterson and Duane Swierczynski. Definitely will listen/read anything by this combo again.

Such a fun story!

I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure! The ending was not a surprise but this story is all about the journey. I very much look forward to future stories with the Zero Tolerance kickass team.

Awesome!

Great storyline. Excellent production value. Voice talent exceptional. I’ve always loved James Patterson. Not sure how much of a role he actually played in this, but it’s good!

Heard better from James Patterson

I enjoy James Patterson‘s books. I personally found having all the different characters spoken by different people in the book distracting and I feel the narrator was acting not narrating I prefer one narrator that has a range of voice characters. I wood like audible books to only have narration not music as it is not as relaxing for me.

A great sleep aid.

I thought all the characters were stale, skip this one.
The writing was linear and generic.
