First Contact doesn\u0026#39;t go as anyone expected. Now they own us. The Legend of ZERO: Forging Zero is the epic journey of 14-year-old Joe Dobbs in a post-apocalyptic universe following a massive galactic empire\u0026#39;s 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.","author_name":"Sara  King","author_url":"https://hardcover.app/authors/sara-king-0938a2a5-b29e-41f7-b6dc-45eabae2e24d","thumbnail_url":"https://assets.hardcover.app/external_data/59402375/745befa9678cfaa839edb03dce8263511d2673a4.jpeg","thumbnail_width":98,"thumbnail_height":157}
