Legacy Code Legacy Code Saga Volume 1 Autumn Kalquist Books

I was completely blown away by this adult dystopian novel, in which the remnants of humankind have fled earth in a fleet of spaceships looking for a new home. The survivors genes have been corrupted by the Legacy Code, a well-intentioned genetic modification designed to boost immunity to disease. Unfortunately, the modification has caused half of all fetuses to possess the Defect which they cannot survive.

This is a terrific concept in and of itself, and it is made even better by the excellent writing, pacing, and interesting characters. The society invokes shades of Nazism and Stalinism with political undesirables and the seditious killed as "traitors". Resources are for the healthy and living.

I can only describe the ending as cruel because it ended on an extreme cliffhanger. I wanted, no needed, to know what happened and immediately bought the next book and began reading.

I urge everyone to read this book – you will not be disappointed.

Incidentally, if you sign up for the author’s mailing list on her website, you will get a short story prequel for free. I have to say that this is excellent marketing, because after reading it (318), I was dying to learn even more about the events prior to the exodus from Earth and will read that series as soon as I finish the next Legacy novel.

Legacy Code Legacy Code Saga Volume 1 Autumn Kalquist Books Reviews

This was an excellent book. I read the Defect novellas and the 318 and Decode short stories before reading this book so I wasn't sure what to expect from this one knowing that it took place 300 years later and it wasn't even set on Earth anymore. I was definitely not disappointed. It took me a couple of chapters to adjust to Era's narration but I really liked her as the protagonist by about a quarter of the way through the book. I started slow with this book but when I hit around Chapter 4 or 5 I couldn't stop reading. I had to make myself stop reading at 3 AM so that I could get some sleep before finishing the book the next day. This was definitely a very fast read and it was a very thrilling one at that. I'm excited to read the next book Paragon, but I wish I had a third book to look forward to once I finish that one. I cannot get enough of the Fracture Era series. It's the best scifi series I've read since The Post-Human series by David Simpson. This series approaches genetic modification the way Simpson approached Hard AI in his books, and I find both subjects very interesting to read about. I now understand why the other reviews compared this book to both Battlestar Galactica and The Hunger Games. It's an odd combination of works to compare a single book to, but it makes sense once you read it. Anyway, I loved this book and I'm so excited about reading Paragon next.
Autumn Kalquist really knows how to put the 'dys-' in 'dystopia'! All of her books are about a very bleak and dark future that feels like it is certainly in the realm of possibility, but I sure hope not. A small number of corporations have taken over Earth, and humankind has managed to ravage our planet and ruin the biosphere through a series of unwise genetic manipulation. The first series of books and short stories, the Fractured Era, deal with the destruction of plants, animals and humans on Earth. The second series, the Fractured Era Legacy, takes place 300 years in the future, where a fleet of spaceships that escaped Earth continue to wander through space, trying to find a new home.

I found these series to be well-written, and very inventive and interesting reading. One good sign of a good series is that I found myself unsatisfied whenever I came up against the end of a book or short story. And that is my complaint; 'Fractured' could also be used to describe the confusing and disjointed path that these stories take. You would need to go to the author's website to try to figure out the timeline The Fractured Series includes (in chronological order) the short stories 'Decode' and '318', followed by 'Defective'. The Fractured Legacy Series consists of 'Better World', 'Legacy Code', and Paragon'. To make it even more confusing, you can buy all 3 of these stories in one book from ; 'Legacy', which is described as, "Book 1" in the series. As of today, Book 2 does not exist. It is unclear when any new stories will come out, other than Kalquist letting us know on her website that she has "a lot of notes". So, I read them in the wrong order, which is not terrible, but it would have helped if I had figured the timeline out sooner. But worse, both series end rather abruptly, signifying that there is more to come, but who knows when? I would have felt a lot better if at least Autumn Kalquist was able to map out a plan for releasing titles in the future, but she hasn't. So, I'm left hanging, wondering if and/or when I will learn more about some of the intriguing characters that haunt this scary future scenario.
