In a future laid waste by environmental catastrophe, one woman in a shielded megacity discovers a secret hidden within—and the nightmare of what lies beyond.
The Skyfire Saga
Her designation is H124—a menial worker in a city safeguarded against the devastating
storms of the outer world. In a community where consumerism has dulled the senses, where apathy is the norm and education is a thing of the past, H124 has one remove the bodies of citizens when they pass away in their living pods.
Then one night, H124’s routine leads her into the underground ruins of an ancient university. Buried within it is a prescient alarm set up generations an extinction-level asteroid is hurtling toward earth.
When her warning is seen as an attempt to topple the government with her knowledge of science, H124 is hunted—and sent fleeing for her life beyond the shield of her walled metropolis. In a
weather-ravaged unknown, her only hope lies with the Rovers, the most dangerous faction on Earth. For they have continued to learn. And they have survived to help avert a terrifying the end of the world is near.

Wonderful new world, complete with Repurposers and living pods. If you dare to disconnect, they will come for you! Stay in forever.
I'm not sure how much of the explanation by the Rover kid would have been understood by a worker of this era. Much less a worker denied childhood and, I suppose, much of education (considering she had trouble reading books at first).

“The men will come and plug you back in,” the repairman assured him. (c)
Q:
Light and sound emanated through the windows, coming from thousands of displays and entertainment channels. (c)
Q:
He’d never seen the neighbor in person before, though he’d lived next to him his whole life. There he was, sitting on his couch, eyes fixed on his display, hands flying over the virtual keyboard. The man didn’t even turn. (c)
Q:
He’d only been out in the hallway once before, when they first installed him in his living pod. He had to make it to the street that he’d seen so many times from his window. (c)
Q:
He’d only been outside once before, the day he came here all those years ago. Back then it had been freezing. (c)
Q:
For someone to help, they’d have to detach from the network. That’s what he had done, and now they would make him pay for it. (c)

Q:
Six windows filled the screen, and the man’s eyes darted from one to the other. Both hands fluttered over the button pad, fingers pressing down in such a rapid sequence, she didn’t know how he could possibly make sense of what he was doing. In one window he controlled an image of a little man who moved through different rooms of a building, pulling levers and pressing buttons on walls. In another flashed a sequence of unintelligible numbers. Another window held an animated avatar of someone else, a woman, with text flying across the screen just beneath her face. Every few seconds, his hands would stream over the buttons and more text would fly by. A group of people talked in yet another window, sitting around a table chattering about someone named Phil, and how they couldn’t believe that he had opted for the small swimming pool when he could have had the bigger one. Along the bottom of the screen scrolled more text: THIS YEAR’S MOST IMPORTANT DECISION! Pick the right candidate! Vote wisely! Watch the candidates’ videos! Yes! Vote for your favorite reality TV star in this all-important election to determine which show will be renewed!
In yet another window a little graph fluctuated up and down, beeping out sounds every now and then. Whenever it beeped, the man entered text in the window, pressing some more buttons until it stopped beeping. His eyes never left the display, and his fingers never stopped working at the keypad.
It fascinated her that he could attend to so many things at once. What was he even doing in each of the windows? (c)

Q:
parents. She tried to imagine what that would have been like. To know your own parents? To live and grow with them?
She didn’t know why, but her eyes started stinging, and a painful lump grew in her throat. She put the photos back in the case and latched it shut. (c)
Q:
When she was six, she was assigned her worker duties and installed in a cramped living pod. (c)

Q:
See, a long time ago, libraries started closing down because no one was using them, and universities shut down their math and science programs for the same reason, so a few people decided to come together to preserve whatever knowledge they could. This was the beginning of the Rovers. (c)
Q:
What can we do now? It hurts to live in this time. Everything’s gone wrong; I can feel it in my bones. It’s not supposed to be this way, but the devastation just keeps mounting. It’s as if an ancient war machine were trundling on, trampling everything underfoot, leaving behind only broken cement in its wake. A lifeless wasteland, stripped of all beauty and value. (c)

Her hope was now a garden. (с)

About halfway through the book, I was sucked in. This is a very realistic (including scientifically) dystopian novel about what the world will be like if we don't take action against climate change. It's a very timely cautionary tale, full of action and with a highly likeable protagonist (and a cute possum).

H124 is just a clog in a very big machine until she makes a disturbing discovery. The book started like it would be a did not finish but I was glad I read a few more pages before stopping. After a slow start it got much more interesting. I love H124 and how strong she turned out to be. The world building and back story were very well presented and the action kept getting more and more tense. While H124 finished the journey she started the problem was far from solved. That left me wanting to read the next book in the Saga.
I received a free copy of the book in return for an honest review.

If you take The Matrix, Mad Max and Armageddon and take some of the more exciting elements from each, you've got a good start into Alice Henderson's Shattered Roads. The book follows the protagonist (and hard to remember name) H124, a citizen of one of the megacities of the future who has the thrilling job of removing dead bodies for incineration. She's about one step above an automaton, as are most of the people of the cities who spend their days (literally) jacked in to various programming and diversions to keep their mind off of reality. When her job takes her into a restricted area, she discovers that there's a giant asteroid heading toward Earth in various pieces that will destroy the planet in the next year.
H124 ends up on the run, as she want to warn the world of the impending danger but aside from some rumored scientists on the run somewhere in the world, nobody else is capable of dealing with the problem. To compound the issue, even her revealing it will have the issue of distracting people from their repetitive tasks that keep the mega city running. Along with the aforementioned movies, there's elements here of Equilibrium, The Fifth Element, and (gasp) Soylent Green. The areas outside of the city are straight out of Mad Max and the worst case scenarios for climate change, overpopulation and hunger are on full display.
I'd describe the genre of this book as dystopian young adult science fiction, with the main character very much being a young woman discovering herself with several potential suitors for her heart. The book is nearly equal parts world building and woman on the run. It's a nice combination that kept me interested in the story moving forward while developing the rather complex setting. It's very much a part one of a larger story however, and I would have preferred a bit more resolution of the story. Since I'm down for reading the next book of the series, that's not the worst thing in the world.

An engaging tale of a brave individual from a dystopian future fighting to warn a world full of its own problems of imminent doom. The author adeptly parallels own struggle with addressing climate change within a world that has already suffered many of the potential outcomes while at the same time introducing a new threat. Unlike many novels set in dystopian futures, this novel never gets bogged down under its own messages and remains fast paced and entertaining.

There is no world building at all; perhaps more is revealed later, but at 25% there was nothing besides what I could extract from the plot itself (not much at all).
There are random bits of the book that seem pointless (e.g. the "intro" at the very beginning could've easily been left out and nothing would change). The characters are paper-thin, the strange out-of nowhere sort of a plot slathered over them.
I haven't really tried hard to finish, there was simply nothing that held my interest and I added it to my DNF shelf around 26%. Meh, life is too short for less than average books.

A young woman H124 has only one job to do and that is removing the bodies from their living pods and takes them to the incinerator. She is called to remove a corpse one day when she gets there and sees the body she thinks something is not quite right. She has a look around and discovers something that puts her life in danger.
She finds info stating that the earth is in danger, an asteroid is heading to earth that will wipe out mankind. H124 must get the info to the only people that might be able to help her stop it.
With the Repurposer hot on her trail H124 makes a run for it and escapes to the outside. H124 has live inside the walls of New Atlantic all her life. She has never been on the outside and has no idea how she is going to survive but if she is going to save the earth and her own life then she has no choice.
While she is trying to escape she meets this guy Rowan a badlander that lives outside the walls in the wastelands that helps her escape and gives her some info about the outside that will help her survive on her own. H124 wants to stay with Rowan and hopes that he will help her to find the people that can help her stop the asteroid but where he is going would not be a very safe place for her as the people there are very dangerous.
So H124 sets off on her own to find the Rovers the people that hopefully can help her save the planet. On her very long and treacherous journey where she faces deadly animals, creatures of the night and some terrifying storms as well.
Shattered Roads had me hooked from the very first word. I was on the edge of my seat at all times I could feel the adrenaline pumping. The action kicked in on the first page and I don’t think it let up until the very last page. I love the world that author created for Shattered Roads with the storms and badlanders and the walled cities. I also loved how the author let us know what happened to the world and why it had become the wastelands that it is today. I am anxiously waiting for the next book in The Skyfire Saga Shattered Lands. I have a fairly long wait or it will sure seem like it as it is not due to be released until December.
Would I recommend Shattered Roads? You bet I would to all dystopian, post-apocalyptic fans. Shattered Roads is one of the best dystopian/post-apocalyptic books ever written.

This novel follows a worker designated H124. She has minimal human contact and no contact outside the city. This changes when she stumbles upon a secret that she cannot reveal. So H124 is forced to flee to safety and try to find help.
The plot was very well written with a great backstory. The cities felt like a satire of everyday life: people sitting in-front of a computer screen 24/7 without questioning life. The badlands outside the cities were equally as bleak with cannibals and limited food. The badlands reminded me of the Mad Max series. I would have liked to learn more about the history of the planet and how/why the cities grew so quickly.
My main problem with the novel was H124 as a character. She was interesting enough and actually a good character until Henderson tried to make her into a love interest for every male character. I hate the pointless sex object/symbol female trope.
In conclusion, this is an interesting dystopian novel with a good backstory and plot. It has a slower beginning but it quickly picks up.

I really mean it when I say this book felt like a video game. There is a short scene to establish the world and the main character, and after that she's flung from situation too situation, constantly stumbling over convenient people with convenient information. The world felt like it was either challenging her when tension was needed, or conveniently supplied her with the exact things needed to further the plot.
This might work in a game, but in a book it doesn't really work for the character to find a map marked with an X where a functioning car is hidden (the map also came with convenient instructions), or there being entire shelters set up, empty of people but full of food even though everyone outside is starving, and really, I could go on.
It didn't help the awfulness of the world was too exaggerated, either pushing a very obvious message via info dumps or just pure shock value. The message was important, I agree, I just wish it wasn't that heavy handed.
Entertaining enough for a quick read and comes with an interesting premise, but that's really all there is to it.

This was an okay read for a futuristic toilet of a world which of course was destroyed by humanities complete disregard for nature and refusal to listen to all those global warming experts out there, no, I mean the climate change experts. I did fast forward through all the lectures explaining why the atmosphere, oceans, animal life, etc., was destroyed by humans.
If you can get through that, then the story was pretty good. Not believable, but fast paced and lots of action. If the second two books come up for free on Kindle Unlimited someday, I might read them, but I would not buy them.

DNF 50%
For my taste, there was some serious issue with pacing.
The entire first half of the novel, the main character is running away. We are introduced to the romantic interest, which was a little too on the nose for me, and then he disappears again as she resumes running.
It did not keep me interested.
Not my cup of tea.

Strong intro to the series, great mix of old and new worlds. Shades of Mad Max at times, in a good way. Lead protag works well as an avatar for the audience without being empty. Definitely some elements that weave to the next in series without feeling incomplete. Soft cliffhanger. Looking forward to Shattered Lands.

The environmental theme is well intentioned.
This DESPERATELY needs more female characters.
The world building and plotting could be more logical rather than a mix of "this scene is spectacular" and "here comes the info dump"
Supposedly it's won prizes? Or a prize? That really surprised me.

Shattered Roads
Started out loving this book but as soon as "H" left the city I thought the story dragged a little. While not completely losing my interest in the story there was so regaining of the excitement and anticipation I had during those first four or five chapters.

On the face of things, it is about what happened after global warming. But the premise of the book is more complicated, and there are some fascinating what ifs. I will definitely be reading the next in the series,

Very interesting book, and it sounds like something that could possible happen to earth in the near future if mankind doesn't get its act together and stop climate change.
March 25, 2019
Very good read and fast paced. So plausible, it's scary.

Couldn't get through the combination of excess verbiage and narration style.

Loved it.
The whole book was awesome. No mistakes. No glitches. Smooth to the end. I like the writers flow. Now let's work hard to make sure this never happens. VOTE!

..another post apocalyptic tale. A somewhat promising start to a trilogy although the writing seems a little too simplistic.
August 21, 2019
A definite 3 1/2 + Stars
I enjoyed the story But what the young lady did throughout this story would be pretty much improbable. Especially for anyone not trained in anything.

It was a fun read. I liked the characters and setting. I will be interested in reading the follow on books.

I can't describe in words how this booke made me feel. Hopeful, but at the same time slightly resigned.
August 30, 2024
Good start to a 3 book apocalypse series.
September 10, 2024
3.5, rounded down bc this is a pretty simplistic postapocalyptic novel. Looks like the others in the series grow up a bit as our protagonist gets more to her life than cleaning corpses.
