For lovers of Science Fiction Adventure, Action, First Contact, Military, and Space Opera, Zero Marked is a thrilling ride through Zero's first days as a Congie PlanOps graduate...

Two turns after the events of Forging Zero, Rat and Joe finally finish their PlanOps training and get orders to their first duty station--a hellhole Bagan planet called Blekk--but first, a little good old fashioned R&R! Joe and Rat get set loose on the Ueshi pleasure planet of Kaleu with fourteen days and five turns' worth of credits burning a hole in their pockets, and they plan to make full use of it! But this wouldn't be a Legend of Zero if Zero didn't do something legendary, now would it? One would certainly think that a 15 day vacation to an Ueshi pleasure planet would be nothing but peace and relaxation... However, when Baga are involved, a lot can go sideways--especially when one of Joe's groundmates is a numbers-crunching, gambling-obsessed savant fixated on beating the house! Kidnapping, assassination, a splash of gratuitous violence, nailbats... Can Zero save his teammates from the bowels of a casino and salvage his vacation before time runs out? Will Rat get her revenge, or will her competitive streak go too far? Come enjoy the latest installment in the Legend of ZERO!

Note: This is a stand-alone anthology. It contains a 66,000 word novella of Rat and Joe's first (chaotic) taste of freedom after graduating from PlanOps, as well as 4 ZERO world short stories averaging about 10,000 words each.
This book is an stand-alone to the ZERO series and can be read in any order. The main novella sets up the next ZERO book to be published in June 2022, Mission Zero: Swarm.
