Preview Fractured Earth Saga 1: Apocalypse Orphan

Description:

Commander Orlando Iron Wolf is aboard the International Space Station when a blinking light on his computer console alerts him to a fast moving comet headed for a collision with planet Earth.

With no way to stop the impending doomsday, the world descends into panic and anarchy. Massive transport ships are built to colonize the moon, and evacuation of a chosen few begins.

After a shuttle mission to study the approaching comet goes awry, Wolf is forced into cryogenic deep sleep, and the onboard computer assumes control of the ship.

Wolf awakens 50,000 years later to a wildly different earth. Endowed with incredible strength, he finds himself caught in a war between primitive tribes, and his survival depends on Syn, an advanced computer intelligence who has fallen in love with him.

Will Wolf be able to help restore Earth to its past glory or is civilization doomed to fail?

Review

BlueInk Reviews
'Readers should enjoy Wolf's awkward romantic encounters and Syn's unpredictable behavior, which lighten the mood between each bloody battle. Apocalypse's Orphan provides an interesting version of one possible future.'

BlueInk Reviews
'Ambitious and occasionally amusing post-apocalyptic sci-fi/fantasy adventure'

BlueInk Reviews
After proving his strength and loyalty, Wolf befriends King Waylon and develops a romantic interest in Nala, a beautiful warrior shunned by her lunatic husband. Lusting after Syn and Nala creates problems for Wolf.

Iuniverse
There are a lot of really cool background details in this novel. Many of them are reminiscent of the Pulp-Era stories; it really reminds one ofBurroughs.Iuniverse The setting in this story is really creative. It has a lot of neat details, like the aforementionedwomen being shunned thing. In addition, an astronaut returning to aravaged Earth gives the reader warm, pulp-era vibes. Buck Rogers, Planet of the Apes (not a pulp, but still good), and countless other stories spring to mind.

Kirkus Reviews
Action-packed, breakneck-paced, and undeniably fun!

Kirkus Reviews
Adventurous sci-fi fans should find this kitschy read--the first of a planned series--ironically appealing.

Iuniverse This is a fun story idea that is really reminiscent of some of the greatpulp stories. Like Buck Rogers, Wolf travels via suspended animation to a future Earth. He acquires superpowers and uses them to hold back atyrant. Along the way, he falls in love with his ship's AI, creating agreat character dynamic that only gets more complicated when theirmutual friend, Nala, runs into problems. There are just so manywonderful setting details. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
