Book 8 of 15: First Colony

See all formats and editions

Colonel Sean Quinn is stranded in another universe, along with two thousand people under his command. They've been hiding from the enemy long enough, now it’s time to return home. Outnumbered against a superior foe, Sean must risk everything in a daring operation, but the mysterious enemy has a few surprises of their own.

Meanwhile, a division threatens to tear the colony apart and Connor Gates is caught in the middle. Their best chance to prepare for a formidable multidimensional aggressor is to form an alliance with one of their victims, but the more they learn about New Earth's inhabitants, the more resistant to an alliance the colonial government becomes.

When a shadow group seeks to undermine the alliance, Connor must do what he swore he would never do in order to protect the colony. For Connor, the stakes have never been so high or so personal. The price will be paid by everyone if he fails.

Fracture is the eighth book in the bestselling military science fiction series, First Colony.

Very thought provoking on many levels

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2021

Fracture: i really like this series because its as much about studying and learning about what an alien's culture is about, as it is about humanity surviving on a hostile planet. Its not all about murder, death, kill to survive; although there are some very good battles in space and on planets. Diplomacy, linguists, archeaologists. How do you communicate with an alien culture? How do you instill trust and spread love? All that and more is in this story. There's a lot of good lessons learned that we could adopt so we will be prepared for first contact. Theres a whole lot going on here that reveals how people behave, interact and treat each other. Its a study in the character of people, how emotions wants and needs motivate people; and, what might happen when we meet aliens like the Ovarrow and Krake. It would make a good text for a psychology class. And its fun, exciting, mysterious and very thought provoking on many levels. Enjoy...

So glad I found this author. Great mix of people you are interested in plus technology. I like that there's no sex, and the foul language is kept to a minimum - only when it seems appropriate to me. All the books in this series are good, so I will just copy and paste this review. I will have to try his other series.

What can I say that has not been said about this series. How he weaves the story between all the characters is just amazing. Only complaint is I have whiplash from all the twist and turns that he throws in as the story evolves. And keeps just a tad mysterious at the end so you have to get the next book to find out is going to happen next. I already ordered the next two in the series.

Why keep recapping?

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2021

I understand when a 3 book series recaps each book but why would you do a total recap if this is book 8??? I’ve started book 9 and here we go again with another recap. UGh!! Why can’t you just start where you had left off? Why would someone start a series on book 8 or 9?

Book 8 gets a lot done in a short amount of time.

Book 9 is already out but ad of this review the audible version has yet to be released. That said my second time through I purchased the book and audible versions to listen to as i drive. It takes an evening to read and about 8 hours or so to listen to the story.

I see some longterm characters really getting challenged in this book as some plot points left floating through a couple of books gets a cap put on them. At the same time the author keeps the story fresh by changing the status quo a bit. The story never gets stagnated which is a good thing.

This is a military sci fi for the most part but it is much more I believe and think the series is great for new comers to the genre.

This book and the series keeps it PG 13.

A good addition to the series

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2019

SPOILER WARNING:

Ken is doing a great job with this series. My only critique is that he hasn't really placed good limits on the space technology to give the reader a buy in to the world. This is really frustrating with the space battle sub-plot. Given what we know about the space gates Sean should have been able to pop over to our universe, shoot off a message to the CDF, grab some reinforcements and then use one of the 4 gates already built in that system to still easily make the coordinates for the clandestine meet up. The character development, is fantastic! The pace is great, and most of the world building is really really good. If only the writer would spend a bit more time defining the limits of their technology it would make a lot of his scenes more believable.

After finishing book 7 in the First Colony series and reading the authors note at the end I was so worried that that was the end of the series!!! Ken, just so you know...you make all of us readers very happy with your writing talents!!! Your characters and the storyline for this series could make for a great TV show...Stargate comes to mind. Just so you know I am a 61 year old lady who was raised on ALL the early S/F shows on TV! Probably not your usual reader! But, I guess I was a nurd before the word was ever thought of. Please keep this series coming!!!!

Divisions all around

This installment shows us that no matter where or when human beings are, there will always be divisions in the ranks.

Great series.

A solid story, with one of the stand outs of character development in the series.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2023

Severely storylines with each of them overlapping with each other. Structured and patching was on point. Was more character development for the main cast of characters then pushing the main plot of the second arc. Also had a nice set u for the next book.

Definitely one of the best in the series.

Just wow!! I have loved and been enthralled with each book in the First Colony series. This book was no exception but did in fact go way beyond my expectations. The storyline just gets better and better, and the characters evolve as they become used to living on another planet. Lots of unexpected twists and turns happening. Just love it.

Still waiting on the Amazon Prime series.

Another great read. I'd really love to see the First Colony series made into a TV series! If I had any gripe I'd love to know more details on how the New Earth Settlers are able to produce all the vehicle, ships, and technology they have. I realize there was quite a bit of materials on the ARK but did they build mines? Are there factories? What's the economy like on New Earth? Do they use money? Where are they getting fuel for all these land and air vehicles? I hope future books touch on this. What about food? I see they still drink coffee. Are they growing it on New Earth?
