“A couple of chapters in and I was alreadyhooked! I ended up staying up till midnight (as a mother of a toddler this is arare occasion) in order to finish it. I'm Looking forward to seeing what is instore for the colonists.”
“It kind of had aninitial feel of Battlestar Galactica -- a civilization that has to abandon their planet and go in searchof a new one. …It had mystery, a bit of athriller-like aspect, humour, and a taste of romance. I'm hooked enough foranother taste, now I just have to wait!!"
“OH MY GOODNESS! I just finishedthis book...at 6:00 AM. This society crafted by Autumn Kalquist is fascinating.I can't even imagine how much time she spent carefully plotting every detail.Their existence feels so real and so frighteningly possible.”
“I both love and hate this book ... but in agood way! Instantly I fell in love with the characters and storyline thatKalquist spun together. … This story is based in the future (almost a spaceopera / dystopian) where the populations of earth escaped to space to find a betterworld. ...we arrive in a distant future where civilization exists on spaceships and they have to take decades before making jumps across space - similarin a way to what I imagine Stargate…”
“It pulled me in faster than most books I haveread and kept me on the edge of my seat through the end. I read it all in justa few hours.”
“I started reading Legacy Code andwithin the first few pages I was hooked! …it is brilliantly written with detailand imagination from the offset, It is also really well edited. I am reallylooking forward to where the next installment of the Legacy Code Saga is goingto take me.”
“Autumn Kalquist is a talentedauthor. LEGACY CODE is easy to read, her plot is engaging, and her charactersare real. Her world building is second to none, and I felt completely suckedinto her story.”
“Upon receiving my copy of TheLegacy Code, I started reading and just could not stop, until it was over.”
“I found this an enjoyable read as aYoung Adult sci-fi story. The situation was interesting: a fleet of spaceshipsjumping through wormholes in search of a new habitable planet, after people onEarth has royally screwed things up, including the human genome. A young coupleexpecting a baby had to undergo a genetic test to determine if their unbornbaby has "the defect," which would require it to be aborted.This being only the first book of aseries, the story is relatively short, and I was left wanting more, which is asign that the author has captured me, the reader, successfully. Just when youstart getting attached to the main characters...STUFF HAPPENS. And you MUST knowwhat happens NEXT.”

I would like to thank Alisa Gus, of Curiosity Quills Press, for her invaluable editing assistance in preparing this book for re-release. Peace to all, Aiden James ~ April 16th, 2013*Acclaim for the novels of Aiden James:“The intense writing style of Aiden James kept my eyes glued to the story and the pages seemed to fly by at warp speed. …Twists, turns, and surprises pop up at random times to keep the reader off balance. It all blends together to create one of the best stories I have read all year.”—Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews for “The Devil’s Paradise”“Aiden James has written a deeply psychological, gripping tale that keeps the readers hooked from page one.”—Bookfinds review for “The Forgotten Eden”“Not only is Aiden James a storyteller par excellence, but his material for his story is riveting.”—Huntress Reviews for “The Forgotten Eden”“The hook to this excellent suspense thriller is the twists that will keep readers wondering what is going on as nothing is quite what it seems. Adding to the excitement is that the audience will wonder whether the terror is an evil supernatural creature or an amoral human…Aiden James provides a dark thriller that grips fans from the opening.”—Harriet Klausner for “The Forgotten Eden”“Aiden James writing style flows very easily and I found that “Cades Cove” snowballed into a very gripping tale. Clearly the strengths in the piece were as the spirit’s interaction became prevalent with the family… The Indian lore and ceremonies and the flashbacks to Allie Mae’s (earthly) demise were very powerful. I think those aspects separated the work from what we’ve seen before in horror and ghost tales.”—Evelyn Klebert, author of “A Ghost of a Chance” and “Dragonflies”“Aiden James has a keen eye for detail and an uncanny knack for scaring the hell out of me. We are watching a master at work. “The Raven Mocker” is a nearly perfect thriller. Ghost stories don't get any better than this.”—J.R. Rain, Bestselling author of the “Vampire for Hire” series“As with the previous titles I have read by this author, I found the author's writing style to be silky smooth and the main plot line to be extremely creative. The fertile imagination of Aiden James definitely knows what today's readers want to see in their stories.”—Detra Fitch, Huntress Reviews for “The Vampires’ Last Lover”About the AuthorAn author fascinated by Gothic history and the supernatural, Aiden James presently has written thirteen novels and eight co-authored books with many more to follow--including one more solo effort (Judas Chronicles)and four more co-authored books by the end of 2013.
