Just when you think you know how the next book in "The Legend of Zero" series will go, Sara King amazingly weaves her magic to another direction you didn't anticipate. :-) This time we find our hero of this series, instead of battling aliens in space for Congress, Commander Zero, aka Joe Dobbs is now Earth bound. On a planet that has rejected him, by a Congress that has now betrayed him, fighting the Congressional planted hungry kreenit, and still dealing with the prophecy that has yet to be fulfilled. His devastated birthplace is forced back by Congress into the Stone Ages, Joe is now in a dog eat dog environment where only the strongest will survive.  With no trained Congie ground crews to assist him, Joe is on his own with only his faithful Jane by his side.Earth we discover was not, accepting the takeover of their planet nor forced recruitment of their children quietly. Secretly they were developing their own kind of genetic weapons to fight back, until Congress discovers what they have been up too. Earth is quickly condemned in Congressional proportions; its technological centers, universities and bases destroyed, and then their cities are salted with hungry kreenit. A quarter billion human Congies are thrown back on a planet that hates them, where they may be to be the only humans to survive the devastation  to serve Earth's penance for a Sacred Turn.Miss King once again does not disappoint with her creating a new wonderful mind blowing cast of characters, as well as reuniting those from Joes past. It is so hard not to give out spoilers here, as I do not want to ruin the unveiling of the multiple twists and turns of this book. So let me just say that Zero's Return is a fresh, unpredictable, exhilarating emotional experience as the story of Joe Dobbs unfolds yet another wonderful layer. The dark side of the creation of Earth's secret weapon was reveled, and made me gasp. Joe will be introduced to those dragon-slaying innocents mentioned in the earlier books, who love of all things...cookies! He'll finally meet someone that as they say, gets his motor running. Is she the promised soul mate he has waited his whole life for, the one the fortune teller told him about? Nothing will be simple as Miss King is unafraid to even throw Joe under the bus and gives him a challenge that has the ability to crush him with a single thought.Leaping Furgs, neither Earth nor it inhabitants is what Joe or I expected at all, BRAVO MISS KING.Once again like Forging Zero and Zero Recall, "The Legend of Zero: Zero's Return" had me turning eagerly to the next page as  Miss King drew me into her characters heads, all the while giving me a book I will long remember and want to revisit again and again.
