Zero Rising - The Complete Series

Walking away isn't failure. It's the first step to freedom.
Twelve-year-old Jack escapes the streets and a life of exploitation, trusting no one until he meets Rio—a hacker with a past and a heart big enough to match Jack's pain. At twenty, Jack walks away from everything he thought he wanted, grasping for identity. And at twenty-eight, he faces the ultimate decision: compromise his soul, or fight back on his own terms.
This collection tells the complete origin story of Jack Horwood—a journey of courage, resilience, and transformation from street kid to fierce protector. Set before the events of Job Hunt, these three stories (The Power of Zero, Two Divided by Zero, and Zero Rising) reveal how Jack turned trauma into strength—and why underestimating him is always a mistake.

Jackie Keswick was born behind the Iron Curtain with itchy feet, a bent for rocks and a recurring dream of stepping off a bus in the middle of nowhere to go home. She's worked in a hospital and as the only girl with 52 men on an oil rig, spent a winter in Moscow and a summer in Iceland and finally settled in the country of her dreams with her dream team: a husband, a cat, a tandem, and a laptop. Jackie writes a mix of suspense, action adventure, fantasy and history, loves stories with layers, plots with twists and characters with hidden depths. She adores friends to lovers stories, and tales of unexpected reunions, second chances, and men who write their own rules. She blogs about English history and food, has a thing for green eyes, and is a great believer in making up soundtracks for everything, including her characters and the cat. And she still hasn't found the place where the bus stops.
