About the author
Kenny Soward
86 books160 followersWelcome to my little space out on the web. I'm Kenny Soward, and I'm an author, musician, and once IT guy. I write books in many sub-genres of Science Fiction and Fantasy, including post-apocalyptic, military science fiction, epic fantasy, and horror. I'm influenced by authors such as Stephen King, George R. R. Martin, Anne Rice, J.K. Rowling, Mark Lawrence, Dan Simmons, Robin Hobb, Robert McCammon, Larry Correia, and Mike Kraus.
I love all kinds of movies and shows from Battle Star Galactica (reboot) to the Walking Dead. There's nothing I won't try.
I grew up in Kentucky in a small suburb just south of Cincinnati, Ohio, listening to hard rock and playing outdoors. In those quiet 1970's streets, I jumped bikes, played Nerf football, and came away with many scars.
My grandfather and many of my uncles and cousins served in the United States Military, and my father was a Kentucky State Trooper. Their efforts taught me the meaning of sacrifice and gratitude. I've always had an avid curiosity about the world around me, and I hope my enthusiasm for life carries over into my stories, even the dark ones.

what a ride!
At first I thought something to read in my down time, but I was wrong! Grabbed my interest from first chapter in book1 until the end of book 8. Took a little over a month to read but I am so glad I read this. Got caught up in Ben’s struggles to reach his family, the horrors along the way, meeting helpful survivors and lot vile survivors. Meeting new friends and old enemies from military. His family also has their dangerous escapes from bully neighbors and getting to safety. ** And I loved that in each new book had a “Last time in Fracture” synopsis of previous book! Really loved reading these books. Thank you

I read the collection of eight books.
Although there a few places where the story seemed repetitive, I could hardly stop reading. Many of the books I read in single day; had to break up.my reading because my eyes kept crossing. Overall, the storyline was well put together and the consistency between excellent. These are the books I love getting into, thanks for all of your teams efforts!

Oh wow!
Such a different take on the dystopian apocalyptic type books. I really enjoyed everything about these books. The characters and the pure grit and no quit were just absolutely amazing. I highly recommend these books to anyone looking for something that is fast paced, full of action and a true love story played out in multiple couples.

This is the first complete series I have read. I enjoy this way of reading. No waiting for months or years for the next book!!!!!
I really enjoyed this series. Experience the day to day problems of traveling across country when so much of the workings of society have collapsed. The joys and fears of who you might meet along the way as well as lifetime partners.

Great character development. I did find it a little “wordie” at times but well blended. Angel’s character and her grandparents were my favorites. I read all 8 in 10 days ( I’m retired) so a couple of nights I stayed up until 3:00 AM to finish the book I was reading.

Stayed up too late reading this long series. Characters are well developed. Story line flows well. The story takes you are a journey that you won’t likely forget. Wish this series came in print so I could gift it to others who don’t do digital.

Good Friends
I love a series that the characters draw me in and I feel I know them. It is then hard to say goodbye in the end. This book was exactly that and I will miss Joe, Kay and all the others. Thank you

Amazing! And freakishly timely!
Fantastic work and well written. I’ve read dozens of post apocalyptic novels and I have my favorites and this series is now in the top five. Well worth the read.

A thrilling and touching story
A thrilling and touching story I couldn't help but reading to the end. I'll look for more Kenny Spare books.
