“Maybe, when I’m qualified, I’ll be in a better position to change the system.” Living their prescriptive lives in City 01, Aurelia and her best friend Marnee are learning how to be the best Med students they could possibly be, but it’s a journey that will test their strength, judgement and morals in a world that, as they grow older, seems increasingly unfair. Ground Zero is Magus Tor’s stunning prequel to the gripping Numbered series. "A tremendous beginning to an epic story." - Daniel Scott White, editor of Unfit Magazine

Trust no one, no one trusts - that is the way of Lunar City. When Aurelia Cole gets hired by Lunar City Hospital, the last thing she expects is that her shuttle will be attacked on the way to her new posting. With her new found Clone friend Nicholas, Aurelia manages to rescue Jonathon Hansen, who might just be the next Earth Empire president. But when Aurelia is forced to choose between Nicholas and Jonathon, she has to decide whether her love for her job is more important than her desire to do what's right. Head hunted by the Resistance movement, Aurelia has the chance to overthrow a manipulative dictatorship. But in Lunar City, who can she trust and who really trusts her?

Born for war, war for bonds - that is the path for the Clones. Med Worker Aurelia Cole is forced to turn detective when her friend Nicholas escapes from custody and goes on the run. And when she finds that he's left the safety of the Lunar City Dome and travelled Out, she knows that she has no choice but to follow him onto the Lunar surface. Aurelia's epic journey leads her to kidnap, deception and understanding the pains of being Clones. But the real pain comes from betrayal, betrayed by the one she trusts.

Live to give, give to live. That is the mantra of a Worker. Leaving the dangers of Lunar City for Earth, Aurelia and Jonathon must pull out all the stops to get the political support they need for Jonathon to win the Empire elections. From the snows of City 04 to the burning heat of City 05, Aurelia discovers that whilst Resistance politics may be tough, it's families that are the real challenge. And when Jonathon faces the ultimate betrayal, it's his ex-rival Nicholas, desperately injured, who counsels him. In a society where no one can be trusted, Aurelia finally learns that no one means no one, not even those closest to you.

Cross of the past, key of the future - that is the mandate of the Resistance. The President dies and presidential election begins. With Jonathon being the likely winner, but can he win the hearts of the Elites or there will be civil war?
