What readers are saying: If you like mysteries and/or sci-fi you will love this book!!! "This is a very good story that has your heart pounding as you turn the pages. Intrigue, nefarious plots, twists and turns around every corner - great series, even if you're not a fan of science fiction." "From the moment I read the first paragraph of Paragon, up until the last sentence, I was enthralled. Non-stop, on edge, exciting action. I honestly couldn't put a fault on this one, I loved all of it, including the song! The Fractured Era series is still up there amongst my favourite novels of the year." "Full of questions, traitors galore, secrets & suspicions. You can't even trust your own family in this world!" Phenomenal...that's the best word to describe it. Autumn Kalquist manages to weave a tale that is jam packed with suspense and whodunit plots. Just loved it with it many twists and turns that keeps you on your toes. The characters were great and you just didn't know who to trust in the conspiracy that was going on. ...Highly recommended series and anxious to read the next book. I love all of this author's books. I have read many post-apocalyptic and dystopian tales and this is different from all the rest. She always keeps me guessing. My only complaint is she doesn’t write them fast enough!! I believe this is the first 5 star rating I've ever given. LOVED IT! Such a great follow up to Legacy Code (which ended up on my Top Ten 2014 list) I love Autumn's writing style, she is so talented and takes you right there alongside the characters. This is a beautiful and unique story and I can't wait to read more!! "In a story where I fell in love with the characters, it is easy to have your heart broken, have a smile on your face, or cry over a simple scene in the book. This is one series I would never stop reading, and admittedly, have read on more than one occasion!" "This series has me intrigued, it feels realistic, real and frightening at the same time. Humanity is alone in space in their fleet of ships and they have nowhere to go, they try to find a better earth, a new home. I want to know if they ever find it." Views: 10

A breathless comedy road trip from Heaven to France and all points in-between featuring murderous butchers, a coachload of Welsh women, flying portaloos, nuclear missiles, giant rubber dragons, an army of dogs, a very rude balloon and way too much French wine.**From the AuthorAs we have built the Clovenhoof world, we've found minor characters that refuse to stay minor.Two saints from Clovenhoof - Joan of Arc and Saint Francis had much more to say.Saint Christopher popped up a little later. We went on a trip to Wales when we were researching Pigeonwings and we were musing over a fascinating snippet that we'd read in 1,227 QI Facts To Blow Your Socks Off It mentions that Saint Christopher had, in 1969, been "deleted" by the Roman Catholic church.We started to muse on how he might feel about that, and came up with a short story, which can be found in Satan's Shorts.
Christopher demanded a place in our story too, so it seemed the most natural thing in the world to send them all off on a road trip across modern day Europe, with a really important mission... Views: 10
