About the author
Sara King
21 books788 followersAfter a long, twisted road, Alaskan Fury is my 15th book. The rest (aside from the first five or so ‘practice books’) spent the last 3-6 years languishing on my hard drive as I waited for some really cool editor at a big, traditional publishing house to notice me. It didn’t happen, even with a world-famous agent doing his damnedest to get my books out there.
So, because I’ve got a stubborn streak a mile wide—and some say because I’m a naïve, dumbass Alaskan—I’m striking out on my own and putting my books out there. Basically casting my dice to the Fates, and seeing what happens. If you like my books, please tell your friends. I don’t have a huge advertising team behind me, so word-of-mouth really helps.
On that note, my books never went through a copyeditor. What you see is the result of a few dedicated volunteers, all of whom have poured untold hours into the crafting of the book in your hands. They are awesome, steeped in awesome, sprinkled with awesome. Thanks, guys!
Further, I write fast. I can easily write 6 novels a year—8 if I don’t get distracted—and during those long years waiting for somebody to notice me, I was finding myself in the extremely frustrating position of watching my manuscripts pile up because traditional publishing companies can only take 1 or 2 novels by a single author a year. Keep an eye out for a bunch of new books from yours truly, as I've finally got an outlet for all that creative drive. :) Enjoy!

In the last few weeks I've read all of the Zero Universe books. That's a lot of reading! I gave all the books five stars, and I await the next episode with a lot of anticipation. Sara King must be one tough lady. Good writers live their work while they're writing it, and Ms. King's written world, or rather universe, is a gruesome, blood-soaked place to be. Her best trick is to make me want to be there while I'm reading it.
Thanks to Kindle Unlimited I got to read them all for free. But I honestly feel guilty about that. If I had to pay her by the hour for the reading time I put in I'd be a homeless man reading in an alley somewhere. Happily. Gratefully.

Awesome
These are a set of really nice stories, not all set in the universe of Zero or the Congress. The characters are brilliant and the Congress stories give some very important background to the races which appear in the novels.
It was enjoyable and a fast read.

I loved these short tales. Old timey science fiction at its best!! Don't miss any of her writing, because in my opinion she has a conduit straight to the core of science fiction at its best. Which, for you all out there that don't know it, means enjoyably exploring the relationship of things stranger than we are. Please keep them coming!

Little glimpses
I love when authors give us little peeks into different facets of their overall story. I don't know completely why but I love the way Sara King writes and puts characters and stories together. I'm able to fall into the story right away. Read up folks this one is good

I am patiently waiting for the next book in any of her series. I have read them all and hoping that a new book is coming soon.

Three short stories from Zero and Millennium Potion universes. As they're about alien species it's best to know the other series but stories are unrelated, just giving another view into those worlds.
