Fractured Space #3
Fallen Worlds
Cal and the crew of the Star Splinter are back!
Stranded on a godforsaken mining outpost and left with no choice but to eke out a harsh living, Sergeant Carly Becker dreams of the day she might once again fight the good fight. But with rumors of the military’s annihilation, she questions whether any fight remains, let alone a good one. To find out, she must miracle her way into Chalice City then onto a ship to carry her off world. But Chalice is a poisonous metropolis in more ways than one, and to survive its soaring towers, her fight may begin far earlier than expected.
Having unleashed chaos and escaped mostly intact, Cal and his crew have scattered the pirates’ ranks and sent their deranged queen into hiding. But as one enemy falls, another rises. Ready to bring their savage game to a close, the Insidions are again making themselves known.
An ominous discovery with the potential to bring insight to the nature of their foe brings Cal and the crew a hard choice: to boldly investigate before the trail fades or to practice caution and steer well clear. But with the Insidion threat building and the fate of humanity teetering ever closer to the edge of oblivion, Cal fears caution is no longer an option.
And besides, playing it safe has never been their style.

About the author
J.G. Cressey
8 books36 followersBorn in 1976, I grew up on the south coast of England and enjoyed an active childhood involving swing ropes, tree houses and homemade go-carts. In my teens the interests became scuba diving, rock climbing and martial arts. At the end of my teens a spanner was thrown in the works in the form of a car crash in which I managed to break my neck (Yes, it kinda hurt). Deciding that University was too dangerous for a young man in a wheelchair, I decided to travel the world for a decade or so. I took in some of Africa, Brazil, Cambodia, Australia, lived in New York and San Diego for a bit, basically had a fun time of it. But no matter where I went I always looked forward to heading back home to England. Despite the weather, it’s a rather nice place to live.
I guess I have Roald Dahl to thank for sparking my interest in books and writing. I loved his books as a boy and I remember seeing a documentary that showed footage of Mr Dahl sitting in a little shed in his garden sharpening pencils and scribbling away. The idea of it struck me as a good life and a couple of decades later the notion finally took hold. I don’t have a shed, but I do have a great library where I live in the South West of England. I visit it most days with my trusty little apple laptop and tap away.
Soon after Roald Dahl, it was Star Wars that began to influence my imagination — the combination of science fiction and fantasy really floated my boat, so to speak. I spent a few years dabbling with stories, but the big inspirational kick up the butt came when I first viewed the wonderful, but tragically short lived TV show, Firefly created by that force of nature Mr Joss Whedon. His balance of light hearted humour, sometimes dark, emotional drama and kick ass action really hit home and the idea for my first book ‘Star Splinter’ began to take shape. Star Splinter is the first in the Fractured Space series involving a group of characters who already seem to be doing the story telling for me! The prequel novella titled ‘Harper’s Ten’ is now also out and more are on the way!
I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them.

Great addition to Cal’s Adventures
I love this series! I read over a 100 books a year and this series has been one of my favorites since I read Star Splinter! This was a great continuation of the series that adds a lot. I really can’t wait until the girls meet up with the Star Splinter crew! The pit fighter chick was so cool! You all should read it but definitely start at the beginning and go forward! Please keep them coming! Maybe a little faster even? But it was worth the wait! Cheers!

Super characters
The characters were very realistic. Thoroughly developed.
The science behind the ships, weapons, etc was less so.
I look forward to reading the next book.

The story was good, but the book was way too long. So much excruciating detail during fight scenes. I skimmed pages at a time.

Hard to put down
This was a great story, with new concepts and unpredictable plot twists. I finished, wishing there was more to read.
