The Legend of ZERO begins the epic journey of 14-year-old Joe Dobbs in a post-apocalyptic universe following a massive alien invasion of Earth. The oldest of the children drafted from humanity’s devastated planet, Joe is impressed into service by the alien Congressional Ground Force — and becomes the unwitting centerpiece in a millennia-long alien struggle for independence. Once his training … begins, one of the elusive and prophetic Trith appears to give Joe a spine chilling prophecy that the universe has been anticipating for millions of years: Joe will be the one to finally shatter the vast alien government known as Congress. And the Trith cannot lie…
But first Joe has to make it through bootcamp.

Characters were underdeveloped and two dimensional
Started slow – kidnapped by aliens and forced to fight – haven’t we all read that? But then it takes a twist and becomes a different book. Well worth the read.
This book begins the saga of Zero. The start of the saga takes itself just a bit seriously, and projects little in the way of the details of life aboard a starship, then on a alien world. You’ll just have to use your imagination to to satisfy your hunger for an immersive picture of what’s going on. By the time the book ends, however, just enough …
What an engaging story and universe! I almost gave up after the disturbing action in the beginning of the book, but I’m so glad I didn’t. Sara King has transformed me into a big fan of Zero and friends, and I can’t wait for the next installment!
The first book oh Sara’s that I read which sparked a demand for her style of writing that is a rare find. Hands down this is the best author you’ve never heard of.
Forging Zero was not a book I would normally have read but I tried it having read good reviews from her many followers. HA on me! I was so easily drawn in and instantly addicted that I ended up reading the whole series.
This epic story begins with earth children who are stolen very young and raised rough into soldiers to aid other races of …
I love this series, cannot wait for the next book.
You would think reading the first chapters that this is simply a horrible book.. But stick with it.. One of the best books I have read in my 5 decades of reading. The ones to follow are equally as good. About to reread them all again.. Really am looking forward to more.
When I read this book, I suspected that Sara was going to become one of my favorite authors. I was right. The more of her books I read, the better I like her writing.
While I really like the hard scifi story line, it’s the characters that really drew me in. There are precious few cardboard cutouts in this book or any of King’s books. She …
This book and series is one of my favorites! Imagine earth being overwhelmed by an alien armada and having no choice but conform & join our empire or die. Then imagine that the aliens want your children. That is where this incredible journey begins. This is highly recommended series. enjoy!
Great story, and one of those hard-to-put down books that makes me lose sleep. Sara King is a huge talent!
Omg best effing book I’ve ever read, followed closely by the rest of the series. These books were so great, i had to go and buy everything i could get my hands on that Sara had written, and I still haven’t been disappointed.
Everything this author writes is magical. Her unique wit and comedic view of reality combines perfectly with her story telling expertise, to bring both serious sci-fi, and an occasional tear jerking, gut wrenching laugh, together in a style that is uniquely her own. I have loved every page of every book she has written. You are missing out if …
Best character driven book I’ve read this year. You won’t be able to put it down. Do yourself a favor and read this. The characters and plot lines are incredible.
This is the book that sucked me in to Sara King fandom. So well written. The characters are well developed. Much like a crispy potato chip, you won’t be able to stop with just one.
Holy “FURGS” ZERO is character driven Science Fiction at its best
With all the political strife out there right now in real Earth time, this hits on what it means to be human; what we fight for, live for and die for. It contains rich, character driven plots, prophecies, and has enough twists and turns like a great mystery novel. Nothing is …
Loved it. Can’t wait for the rest of them!
It takes you to a new original universe that makes you rethink things. Mind opening, page turning story that gets better with every book!
I could not put this book down from page one, and then had to go online and buy the rest of the series so I could read the rest.
I love this book. The storyline is engaging, it makes you want to keep reading to see what happens next. I have already read both of the following books in the series and am anxiously awaiting the fourth. The character storylines are great, each section gives you a different perspective of what is going on in the story. I strongly recommend this …
