The entire Legend of Zero series is a great new entry in the SF/Fantasy world. I use both terms because while I am primarily a "hard sf" fan, and the whole idea of magic powers leaves me cold, some leap of faith is required to accept some future scenarios, and the aliens here certainly do.Sara King has managed to create a complex yet believable future in which humans are a recent and disruptive element in a trans-galactic, multi-species society. While keeping up with some of the aliens she creates is initially shallenging, very quickly the creatures become almost real at her hands. With due respect to all invovled, I'm reminded of some of C.J. Cherryh's best work in which alien species interact with humans in a believable fashion.I love Zero, and the way she develops him from a tough Earth kid to a formidable inter-species warrior is nothing short of brilliant.Bring on more Zero, Sara!
