"Ground Zero" is a novel written by Kevin J. Anderson that takes place within the continuity of the popular Fox Network television series The X-Files. The book was originally printed in hardcover and has also been made available in mass market paperback, abridged audiobook cassette format, Kindle edition and NOOKbook ebook edition. The audiobook is read aloud by series co-star Gillian Anderson (no relation to the author). The premise of the novel involves FBI agents Fox Mulder and his partner Dana Scully. Assigned to the X-Files division of the department, it is their job to investigate strange, bizarre cases that the FBI are reluctant to pursue. Their assignment brings them to the laboratory of Doctor Emil Gregory, who was burned to death in a wave of nuclear radiation that left everything else in the area unscathed. Their troubles intensify when they learn about several more researchers, all across the country, who are being killed off one by one in similar fashion.
Synopsis[]
Publisher's summary
- Dr. Gregory, a renowned nuclear weapons researcher, is not only dead--he's been charred to a radioactive cinder.
- Since this is a death on Federal property, Mulder and Scully are hastily called in. As FBI agents who specialize in unexplained phenomena, they are the investigators of The X-Files, strange and inexplicable cases which are also mysteries that the FBI doesn't want solved.
- When a second victim, completely unrelated to nuclear science or Dr. Gregory is obliterated in the New Mexico desert, and then a third dies the same way in Washington, DC, Mulder and Scully begin to focus on the frightening dimension of their task. The bizarre deaths cannot be a coincidence. And as they work to uncover the secret unifying element that unites these deaths, it becomes clear that this twisted puzzle has fatal consequences for the entire world.
