Defect by Autumn Kalquist

Selene and her brother Eli are Protected. They can’t catch cold, they can never get sick. But the very thing that keeps them safe could very well be the gravest threat mankind has ever faced.

Rumors of outbreaks and quarantines fill the airwaves and fugitives on the run have their little town on edge. A chance meeting and one simple mistake will change Selene’s simple life forever.

Defect is short, but it’s a great read. The writing is terrific and Autumn does a great job in keeping the suspense going, even though we already know what is ultimately going to happen. 

Dialogue is, in my humble opinion, on of the hardest things to get right as an author, and Autumn speaks extremely well for her characters. I thought that the dialogue was smart and witty, and still managed to capture an accurate teenage voice of the main character. 

This book is a nice little companion to the Legacy Code saga. The characters introduced are interesting, and even though the events going on around them are just barely touched on, the story pulled me in and left me wanting more. I’m very excited to see where Selene and Eli go from here, not to mention learning how the human race goes from quarantine to massive interstellar fleet.

Defect is meant as a prequel to Legacy Code, but is set hundreds of years before Era’s story beginnings. Autumn’s sequel to Legacy Code, Paragon, is scheduled for a Fall 2014 release.

Check out Autumn's website and her Facebook Page and be sure to give her your support.

Both Legacy Code and Defect are available on Amazon.com

I am a person who enjoys science fiction, and this makes me happy. I have run out of books to read, and I just wanted to find something that is good. I believe that this is one of the best books that I can read. It will require a lot of time before I can fit this in my schedule, but I am still going to put it there. I hope that I can enjoy this book that you have here.
