Zero, a bounty hunter in high school whose job is to get rid of criminals, must do the unthinkable and must get rid of a close friend from his childhood. Will he be able to do away with his old childhood friend, or will his new enemy get the better of him? Zero Harada is a high school student who goes to Carol High. Hes a seventeen-year-old antisocial person and dislikes having others involved in his affairs.
Zero: un confine impalpabile fra il negativo ed il positivo. Definizione poetica di un concetto matematico: lo zero il numero che precede l'uno e gli altri interi positivi e segue i numeri negativi. Nell'Albero della Cabala lo zero precede tutti i numeri e contribuisce alla loro struttura: assimilabile ad una pagina vuota su cui tutto pu venire scritto, lo spazio da cui pu prendere le mosse qualsiasi trasformazione. Ma zero significa anche niente, nullo, vuoto. Per me zero comincia avere tanti significati. Zero il tasto da spingere per chiudere la comunicazione e parlare con qualcun altro. Lo usano gli utenti, quando non li soddisfi, quando si accorgono che stai facendo altro, quando non sei abbastanza vicina o intrigante o porca o perversa. Ti annientano, ti buttano via, come uno scarto qualsiasi, per passare ad un'altra.
Zero's foolish mistake could get them all killed. Ten years ago, Zero tortured a man for killing his friend. Then Zero set the building on fire, to kill the man and torch the evidence. When he left the burning building, he thought the man was dead-but he wasn't. Now, Zero's enemy is back, and the game of cat and mouse is about to start. Prue has loved Zero for a long time. He was her brother's best friend, and he's protected her through thick and thin. After she got shot by his enemy, he's there to save her life. The ghost of his enemy lurks everywhere, hitting out when they least expect it. No one can stop him, and no one can save them. One by one, Zero's friends fall, and he's helpless to stop it. His enemy has all the control, and there's nothing he can do. The only one he can trust is Prue. She's been with him through everything, and now it's time for them to take the man responsible for tearing their lives apart and put him in the ground. How much can Zero sacrifice before it's too late?
Zero is the latest craze. Young, sexy and brilliant, he is a multi-hyphenated (singer-songwriter-rapper-producer) superstar for the digital generation. According to his publicist at least. He’s also a narcissistic, insecure, hyperactive, coke-snorting, pill-popping, loud-mouthed maelstrom of contradictions skating over the thin ice of terminal self-loathing.He has touched down in New York with his sycophantic entourage for the launch of a new single/album/movie/tour. It is countdown to Year Zero. But the boy at the centre of the media feeding frenzy is cracking up. Inside the echo chamber of his own skull, he isn't sure he deserves all the attention, doesn’t even know if he wants it anymore and is being driven half-mad by the mysterious absence of the love of his life.As the crucial hour approaches the young star cuts and runs, setting off on a wild trip across America pursued by paparazzi, fans, fortune hunters and his Mephistophelian manager, Beasley. He’s about to find out that when you have the most famous face in the world, you can run… but you can't hide.
'A thoughtful, serious and well-written book that tackles an immensely important subject' - Observer How many avoidable deaths are there in the NHS every week? 150. What figure should we aim for? Zero. The NHS is the pride of Britain. It’s an army of highly skilled and talented healthcare professionals, armed with the most cutting-edge therapies and medicines, and a budget bigger than the GDP of most countries in the world. Yet avoidable failures are common. And the result is tragic deaths up and down the country every day. Jeremy Hunt, the longest-serving Health Secretary in history, knows exactly what the cost is. In the letters he received from bereaved family members, he was constantly confronted by the heart-breaking reality of slip-ups and mistakes. There is increasing conflict between public pride in the NHS and the exhausted daily reality for many doctors and nurses, now experiencing burnout in record numbers. Waiting lists are up, staffing numbers inadequate, and all the while an ageing population and medical advances increase both demand and expectations. With pressures like these, is it surprising that mistakes start to creep in? This great British institution is crying out for renewal. In Zero, taking the broadest approach, thinking through everything from staffing to technology, budgets to culture, Hunt presents a manifesto for that renewal. Mistakes happen. But nobody deserves to become a statistic in an NHS hospital. That’s why we need to aim for zero.
