I have never been so excited by an author as when I first discovered Sara King's work. She is a master of character and it is especially evident in this new installment of the Zero saga. One word: SHAEL. In Shael, Ms. King has created the most beautifully poignant character I have ever read in science fiction.Forging Zero and Zero Recall are books about aliens and space and humanity blending in as a tiny speck against the giant conglomeration that is an intergalactic Congress. Zero's Return is a book about Earth, about humans. It's about human genetic experiments learning what it means to be fully realized, it's about haggard and war-weary Congies learning to embrace their human side.Earth has been abandoned by Congress, left to be obliterated by city-ravaging monsters. Do we still have the stuff of survival?If you're wondering if this series is for you, stop. It is. Everyone can enjoy this series, even those who aren't traditional fans of sci-fi. No technobabble here. Just a raw, good, intense, emotional, kick-butt story.
