About the author
Jacob Whaler
8 books235 followersI first learned about the power of words when, at the age of 14, I picked up a torn copy of The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury. It blew me away. I devoured his other books in quick succession: Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451. I didn't just read his books; I lived them. His novels and short stories were my secret world, not just a place of escape, but a universe where my imagination could soar beyond the limits of time and space. In high school I discovered other writers like J.R.R. Tolkien and Edgar Rice Burroughs. I fancied myself to be Strider or John Carter and made a sword from a machete, complete with a leather sheath.
My English teacher insisted that we try creative writing ourselves. To my surprise, I enjoyed it immensely. From time to time, there were fleeting thoughts about writing my own novels. By the time I went to college to study economics and philosophy, reading and writing were an essential part of my life. Along the way, I spent time in Japan and learned to read Japanese. Then came law school and work in international law firms. I still made time to read, but my writing consisted of drafting corporate documentation. It taught me once again the power of words, not only to stimulate our imaginations, but also to control the flow of money around the globe.
As time passed, I felt the urge to write my own novels. My inner voice said it couldn't be done, that novel writing was for other, loftier minds. Then one day, I got tired of the inner voice telling me what I could and couldn't do. With it screaming in my ears, I grabbed my laptop and began to write the kind of books I wanted to read. The rest is, well, history.

This is a wonderful piece of writing that I thoroughly enjoyed. I was already a fan of Jacob Whaler after reading ‘Suri Five’, which is another excellent story. The stand out for me is the unique and clever ideas revealed throughout the plot, which I haven’t come across in any other stories I’ve read. I especially like the main character Alix, with her guts and determination.
Living in the Fringe is a hell of a lot different than living in the Sanctuary. The Sanctuary was where the privileged resided, and the Fringe was a place where it’s inhabitants just tried to stay alive from day to day. Which saw them living off the scraps discarded by the Sanctuary. Alix Yamaguchi was just one person in the Fringe that had well and truly had enough of what President Quinn was subjecting them to. Children were dying for starters, and she was sure he was the one that had orchestrated it. If the people of the Fringe wanted change, then it was certainly time for a revolution. Alix wasn’t so thrilled that she was the one that everyone was turning to for help, as she knew it wasn’t going to be easy going up against the Sanctuary with the technology they had at their disposal. From start to finish this was a fabulous story. Easily worth the 5/5 Star Rating.

This book is about upper and lower populations seperated by a wall. A literal wall. In the Sanctuary, your rank depends on how much is in your bank account. But in the Fringe, where the upper class think they have nothing.....they have Alix.....and Alix is destined to be everything. Jacob Whaler has written a stunning book that really pulls you in.

Alix has spent her entire life in The Fringe. She has spent her entire life looking in at the rich while struggling to survive. With the help of her friends and spurred on by the injustices done to her people, Alix is going to start a revolution. But, the question is, can she pull it off? Or will she become another of President Quinn’s casualties?
Link is the best of the best. He is the youngest Patrol Commander in the history of The Sanctuary. In a society where money equals rank, Link is fast approaching the top. He is dating President Quinn’s daughter. He is happy. That is until Alix arrives with her talk of injustice and suppression. Ordered by President Quinn to find and kill Alix, Link has to go to The Fringe to find her. Will, what he sees and experiences while there change his mind? Or is he still focused on being at the top?
Zero caught my attention when I first saw it. What intrigued me about this book was that I could see it happening. The middle class is fast disappearing. There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor. We are becoming more and more dependent on technology. I had no problem imaging the series of events that went down 150 years earlier actually happening in the world today.
I felt Alix’s frustration at what was going on in The Fringe. She was seeing children dying from a disease that has no cure. She has seen friends damaged from doing time in the brain lab. She has seen the effects of working in the chem labs. She was sick of it and she was going to do something about it. I enjoyed reading her character. I connected with her and rooted for her.
I didn’t like Link at first. He was too focused on his rank and money to be likable. Also, I thought he was almost to gung-ho. But then he met President Quinn and a lightbulb went off. I understood why he was the way he was. For a lack of better words, he drank the Kool-Aid like the rest of the people in The Sanctuary. The talk he had with President Quinn rocked his world. It also made him want to wipe Alix off the face of the Earth. I started to like him when he was in The Fringe and saw what was being done with to the people. He saw the brain labs, the chem plants, the pits of toxic waste. He couldn’t deny it.
The secondary characters made this book. From the Presidents daughter to Merf, they added an extra depth to the book. My favorite character was Merf. He lived in the Mesh and was able to do things with it that no one else was able to do. He made me smile every time he showed up in the book. Plus, he created Zero. Which was pretty awesome unto itself.
Zero is a fast read. What I liked about that is that the author wasted no time in getting the book going. The first chapter is Link being woken up to alarms and Alix making her speech. It didn’t slow down until the last chapter. I loved it!!
President Quinn creeped me out. The more he appeared in the book, the more he creeped me out. He was also unhinged and that became more and more clear as the book went on. Knowing all that, I was still surprised by what he did. And on live TV too!!
The end of the book was fulfilling. Fulfilling isn’t a term that I use much when describing the end of the book. I liked seeing how everything turned out. I liked seeing that Zero was able to do what it was programmed to do. I liked seeing the healing that went on also. It made me happy and I was left with no questions about anything.
I gave Zero a 5-star rating. This is a fast-paced, well-written science fiction book. I was able to connect with the main characters. I got involved with the plotlines. I had nothing to complain about (which is amazing).
I would give Zero an Adult rating. There is language. There is violence. There is no sex. There are no triggers. I would recommend that no one under the age of 21 read this book.
I would reread Zero. I would also recommend this book to family and friends.
I would like to thank the author for allowing me to read and review Zero.
All opinions stated in this review of Zero are mine.

“You’re a genius, Wilson. You found the ghost.”
Author Jacob Whaler has lived and worked in New York City, Tokyo and Los Angeles, but now keeps his writing station secret. He states ‘I have experienced the power of words in my own life, and my belief in that power to fire our imaginations and lift our minds to new heights pushes me to write. In my professional life, I've used words to build meaning into arcane corporate documents that control the flow of hundreds of millions of dollars around the globe. Words are powerful. But I believe they can move more than just money. Words can move minds. That’s why I've become a writer of novels. Back in high school, I learned to program computers. It's a different kind of writing, a different kind of language. But like any good writing, it's a string of written instructions that has an effect on the real world. I'd like to think that the words of my novels are like computer code for human brains.’ His studied philosophy and law and deals in the corporate world sing words to control the flow of money around the globe. ZERO is his eighth novel.
Jacob’s ability to make surreal/science fiction/fantasy palpable, visual and credible is one of his many strong points as a writer. From the opening page he instills that sense of commitment from his reader - Red lights flared in the control room. Link’s eyes fluttered open, jarred out of half-sleep. A loud siren cycled up and down. Uniformed soldiers rushed to their stations behind him. “Got her!” Wilson yelled. “What’d you find?” Link muttered, his mind still in a fog. “The ghost girl, boss! Surveillance drones just nailed her!” Wilson raised his arms in victory and let out a whoop. “After all these months, we finally got her.” “Are you kidding?” Link leapt out of his chair, pulse pounding with sudden clarity. “Throw it onscreen!” “Working on it, boss.” Link couldn’t believe his luck. As the commander on deck, he’d get credit for catching the girl and stopping the rebellion. There’d be a big bonus. Whipping out his jax, he couldn’t resist a quick glance at his account balance. It was about to jump, maybe enough to bump him up a notch in the rankings. “Don’t let the Fringe scum get away!” Link roared, liking the way his voice filled the control room. He couldn’t wait to be the first to see her dirty Fringe face. “Get a close-up. I want to see her eyes when she gets destroyed.”
Terse but accurate, the plot is as follows: ‘He won the election. He ended democracy. He built a wall of glass 1,000 meters high. Now, 150 years later, his descendants have infinite wealth and control the Sanctuary, a high-tech paradise for the rich where money equals rank. She’s from the slum. She has no money or rank. She vows to tear down the wall and end the nightmare. Her weapon? Zero.’
Creative, addicting and beautifully written, ZERO establishes the solid stance in writing science fiction that challenges imagination and intellect. And this volume could not be more timely in topic! This is a very solid book.

A classic story with a spin
This story has a lot of elements I've read and seen in many other books, movies and TV shows. After reading the book it reminds me of the Hunter Games series without the games.
The characters are engaging and hard to dislike. A nice good vs evil tension.
It was a quick and easy read.

I loved Zero. I've read a few of this Authors books and have loved them all, they keep getting better. Zero was an exciting read with great characters. I loved Alix, a born leader with strong morals and fearless in her attempt to free her fellow people from the rule of a tyrant, President Quinn. Lots of action with a unique plot that will keep you thinking. Looking forward to the next exciting read.
I give Zero 5 stars for its great story.
I would recommend this book to Science Fiction and Dystopian fans.

Great fun
This was a wonderful mix of the Matrix, Divergent, and the Hunger Games, all turned into a very believable future reality. President Trump *cough* (sorry, I mean) Quinn, is so devoid of humanity, just like the one wehave now. I could easily believe he would try and spawn this type of dynasty. Very well written.

This is a not-impossible future for this country, especially considering the way things are going. In this future there is a massive difference between the rich and the poor. The rich live in sanctuary cities where they have the best of everything. Their rank in the city is determined totally by how rich they are. It doesn't make any difference what they do or what kind of person they are; it's just the amount of money they have.
Outside the sanctuary is the Fringe where all the poor people live. Toxic waste is dumped there. The ground is so polluted they cannot grow any food there (they are fed something by the sanctuary). There are 'brain labs' where many people go to earn money to get their food. They are hooked up to machines and their brains end up powering the Sanctuary version of the Internet. It shortens their lives.
Then there's jobs in another place which are no better for the workers.
So, how do you keep the beautiful, rich Sanctuary separate from the Fringe? You build a wall. A giant, massive wall.
Sound familiar?
The main characters in the story are the person who is in control of Sanctuary and his daughter, and Alix, a young woman who lives in the Fringe.
It's time for a revolution. On the side of the Sanctuary they have heavily armed troops, drones that spy on people and can attack them, helicopter gunships and other little toys. On the side of the Fringe they have some weapons they found and one supreme hacker.
The clash of the two philosophies and the people behind them is extremely well told in this novel. It's also a warning to 'real' people of what could happen in this country if we are not careful.

I often try to find a single word for myself that best describes how I feel about a book before composing a review and then let that be my focus. I struggled to do this for Jacob Whaler's "Zeo" with no success. There are so many feelings and emotions I experienced while reading this book and all were too strong to select just one as my guide for a review.
You'll have to read and experience the book yourself to understand this and I strongly encourage you to read the author's summary to find the basic story plot. DO NOT READ many of the reviews posted because there are too many "spoilers" in them. Just be influenced by the number of hi-level reviews. I personally dislike what I consider "HS Book Report" style reviews that attempt to summarize the story. The authors do a much better job than any reviewer can and doesn't give-away vital outcomes. We all knew The Lone Ranger would survive until next week's show but, I always liked to watch the show and be impressed with how things were worked out.
I don't know if they call it "Social Studies", "Civics", or "Current Events" in school today but this book should be required reading. It dramatically and effectively presents how Greed, Insatiable-desire, and Political Corruption can evolve without the courageous & self-sacrificing intervention of individuals willing to risk everything.

Link is not having a good day. All he wants to do, is impress his girlfriend’s dad… who happens to be the tyrannical, autocratic dictator of their dystopian world. And Link has let a rebellion start on his watch…
Zero was an immersive, sci-fi, dystopian novel which was very well thought out and plotted. The plot had multiple layers which knitted together well and the characters found themselves in real-world, relatable situations despite the futuristic setting. This was more techy than I would normally read, but the descriptions were so vivid and well thought out, I wasn’t lost in the technology at all.

I really liked this book. It was truly a unique storyline about life in a dystopian society. The author paints an incredibly detailed picture of the split between the haves & the have nots of this new world where money is the measurement of your worth in society & those without are quite literally zeros. Lots of action, good character development & a really interesting story of rebellion against the oppressors. Thank you to the author Jacob Whaler. I received this ebook free in exchange for an honest review

Zero was a fantastic read! It put to paper a hint of how a world could be in which there was an infamous Wall. You know, the one Trump is talking about, the one our government is currently shut down over. What I really like about this book is how Whaler mixes politics with fantasy and creates a world that benefits everyone. This book definitely makes you think deeply. The characters were strong, the plot was well-developed, and the history was rich. For an excellent read, I would definitely recommend reading Zero and all other books by Jacob Whaler.

Thought Provoking
Very well thought out story with a brilliant way of building up the protagonists while having a fast pace storyline and not giving too much of them away too soon.
Yes this is only fiction but I could see similarities with 2024 society and how scary life could be..so glad I stumbled across this book, I will most certainly be reading more of The Fringe collection

Good story, characters a bit overdone
I enjoyed the story, a classic ‘triumph of the underdog’ tale. There is love, adventure and a very evil villain. I felt the characters were relatable, but overblown. I wasn’t on board with some of the societal conclusions being drawn, but all in all, a fun read.

History or Prophecy
The book was an easy read with a few main characters and an easily followed story line. Many of the situations reminded me of historical situations. I could also relate them to current events and the logical outcome of a few key choices.
I enjoyed the book and want to read more by Jacob.

Great book!
It was a well thought out book and had the perfect balance of action mixed into it. I wish that the ending had taken a bit longer but all in all I would definitely suggest reading it!

Once I started I could not put down. If this could be for real what a wonderful world it would be. A world of greed and not having enough will destroy us.
