Three hundred years ago, Earth suffered a mass extinction event. The last humans fled to the stars in search of a new home. In the darkness, they fought to survive. Now the fleet decays, and their hope of finding a better world is fading.
Era Corinth works to preserve the archives, but viewing them herself would be treason. When she's faced with the possibility that her unborn child may be aborted due to a genetic defect, her fascination with ancient secrets escalates to obsession.
Brutal conspiracies and devastating betrayals threaten to fracture the fleet. And the colonists have forgotten the most important lesson their ancestors swore to remember It took only one wrong choice to destroy life on Earth.
Will their descendants make the same mistake?

I got Better World as a free book and it had such well developed characters and such an intriguing premise that I quickly bought this box set to save a little money on the next two installments of this series.All three books feature people facing the same dire circumstances but handling it each in their own way. The pace is steady and I found all three to be in the 'quick read' category for me.
Better World hooked me in. Maeve is such an interesting character and her story was so compelling I could forgive the author for bungling the volunteering moment - I knew it was coming but then we had to go through what seemed to me like the pretense of an unnecessary twist to make it seem less obvious. One could also make the case that Maeve is a type of unreliable narrator because we mostly follow her POV. Some of the descriptions are very weak and/or confusing. I still don't know how the bar thing and machinery might look or work and I get that the crew doesn't know how it works either and yet they are tasked with making it operational. I wish the author had done more to fill in the backstory here like maybe before the last jump they lost a lot of people rather quickly and a lot of knowledge was lost with them - it could have set up/raised the stakes for the next book which features recorded knowledge much more.
Legacy Code follows a gal named Era and because of the 'Fractured Era' name for the series I found myself paying more attention to contextual implications around that name/term. At times the name seemed to reflect the fact that this era of human history is quite fractured with a spectrum of factions at odds with each other in a much more subtle and obtuse way than the contentiousness of our own political era. On the personal level though Era is very fractured in her thinking and her outlook. She's obviously hormonal and ill equipped to see her situation or the 'secrets' she uncovers in any type of rational manner. She has no emotional rectitude and no rational understanding of logic. She edits out the most important parts of a video she steals from the historical archives in a manic and ultimately futile attempt to save her unborn baby. She latches on to her own misinterpretations and misunderstandings as if everyone will feel as equally outraged by the 'secret' she uncovered. I'm still not even entirely sure if it was much of a new secret or just something no one really talks about openly or acknowledges. I often found myself rooting for her because I have compassion for a mother doing anything she can to save her baby but I never believed she was fighting a righteous or noble fight and I often found myself empathizing with the 2 out of 5 mothers that Era wanted to condemn to the very predicament she was trying to avoid for herself. The ending seemed rather abrupt with lots of loose ends in the narrative so this is the perfect way to buy this book - so you can immediately begin the next installment!
Paragon is a really great 'who dunnit' with nothing less at stake than the survival of the entire fleet and the last vestiges of humanity. I really want to know why there's no psych units on medlevel. PTSD seems to be rampant with everyone at every level nursing their wounds in the most unhealthy ways. With only about half the pregnancies going to term I'm shocked that doulas never materialized or morphed their duties to act as grief counselors. The only official means the command structure seems to have to address the emotional crises running rampant in the fleet seems to be grimp. It's still not clear to me why they don't just put a form of it in some kind of quin. Yes, I know it can be highly addictive with many damaging and painful side effects during withdrawal, but doesn't that just make the case for a continuous, never ending low dose for everyone? Maybe avoiding grimp could be some kind of luxury like lavender soap. As it is, some people twist their grief and the emotional burdens of their losses into anger which leads to revenge. In their situation I'm sure revenge must seem like such a relief, like it's a beacon of hope but ultimately it's a false hope that only further increases loss/pain/grief and sadness for everyone. Tadeo's investigations reveal a lot of things I expect the author to cover in subsequent installments of this series and as such I'm eager to read book #4

Legacy Fractured Era Legacy Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Autumn Kalquist Suzy Jackson Audible Studios Books Reviews
Was pointed to this series by another authors Facebook page. While waiting for his next book to arrive I figured I'd give Fractured Era a shot. Big mistake. It's cliche to say it, but once I started I could not put it down. My nightly reading turned into whenever I had a slow moment at work, that is until I reached the end of book 3.
My kindle app let me know I had an hour left in the book, Autumn somehow makes every part of the story seem like cocaine. You always want a little bit more, then more, then more, then it happens. That hour is passed, work is backed up, the book ends. Now the wait (hopefully not long) for book 4.
Throughout the three books different stories are woven together in a way that they are different, but when put together tells an amazing story. Most authors may make the story based on one or two characters, with little tidbits thrown in for supporting cast. When the name of the support pops up you're left wondering where you heard that name. Not the case here, each character is dynamic and memorable. Throw in a story that you will not see coming, a flow that does not leave you with filler boring parts, and you have Fractured Era. Worth way more than what you'll pay for a book, by an author who really knows how to hook a reader.
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.
