What Readers areSaying
“If you like dystopian novels, Iwould recommend this one for you!”
“I felt like I was there. Theromance was sweet, there was pulse-pounding action, the friendship between thegirls was amazing, and I was rooting for the characters so hard.”
“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.”
