Zero Night: The Untold Story of the Second World War's Most Daring Great Escape is a 2014 book by Mark Felton.

But escape narratives are almost always foolproof—i.e., suspenseful—and the events chronicled in “Zero Night,” diligently assembled by Mr. Felton, are engrossing enough to keep readers reading through to the end.

[1] Gulf News calls it "nothing short of a thriller, where the plot is laid out, preparation progresses stage-by-stage and finally brought to fruition.

"[2] while News Weekly wrote "Zero Night is a fascinating recount of this lesser known escape story, and would appeal to a wide range of readers.

"[3] Kirkus Reviews in a star review called it "a page-turner" and "exciting"[4] and Kim Kovacs from BookBrowse called the book "fascinating and meticulously researched" but noted that "Felton soft-peddles the adversity and privation, putting them well in the background and choosing to emphasize the action-adventure aspect of the planning and execution of the escape" and that she "felt like the author took liberties in creating conversational scenes, which detracted from the book's overall impact as a work of nonfiction.
