The Legend of ZERO

review 1: Ahhhhhh! (That's a loving scream, not a terrified scream). I'm in love with this series! Great characters, great world building, great plot. Really... What more could one ask for? I was hooked from the start, and not in a 'I'm hooked now, but my interest will wane eventually' kind of way. This was more of a 'I'll punch anyone who interrupts me while I'm reading in the throat because I don't want to put this down' kind of way. Read it. You'll love it. 'Specially if you're an Ender's game fan...
review 2: Wow, this book was a gem. I kind of hate that Amazon seems to know what books I'm going to like in all the emails it sends me, but for $2 I'm willing to overlook the shameless mind-reading efforts of theirs because Forging Zero was worth the $2 (and the $4 ... moreI'll spend on every subsequent book in the series I'm sure).Joe Dobbs is your ordinary 14 year old boy, until the congress occupies Earth and forces the military recruitment of every child between 5 and 12. Joe, because of his unfortunate tendency to defy authority, ends up pissing off some monstrous aliens and getting sent away as well. The story that follows is the bonding of Joe and several other children of varying ages that form his squad; the trials and tribulations they go through; and the unwinding of a mysterious prophecy that seemingly guides everyone's actions with an invisible hand.Sara King appears to be a master of character development, each of the main characters had deep personalities and back stories that logically contributed to the plot. Joe's interactions with them, and their interactions amongst one another are real in ways that many authors would do well to observe.Death and destruction occur in this story, if you are not a fan of GRRM development and subsequent killing of loveable characters, this book may not be for you.Aside from that, this book is a tour de force that will be appreciated by space opera or military sci-fi fans alike. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. less
