Summary
Fracture by D.D. Chant The Chronicles of Discord Book 1 Ben Burton and his father, Senator Philip Burton, have come from the Free Nation to look into an alliance with the Tula. They knew that the Tula wanted them to join them in the war against the Una but they didn't want that. Their nation did need the progressive technology of the Tula though. While his father would tour the area, Ben was sent on the clandestine mission to find out what Councillor Ladron was truly hiding. Astra was assigned to take Ben around. She was Ladron’s subsidiary and hiding many deep secrets. She lived her life almost as a robot. Astra had been pulled from one world and thrown into another. She no longer belonged anywhere, she was a fractured human being. The author starts the book by detailing who many of the officials are and their places in the government. Don't let this detour you from diving deeper into the book. Once the scenes are set it takes you full speed ahead on an adventure. A dictator on one end who is cruel and merciless, men on the other end who are filled with hate and unforgiveness for a situation they can’t full understand. And the Burton’s caught in the middle. The main person in the eye of the storm, being tossed about and torn apart is, Astra. This book ends with you knowing that there is definitely more to come. http://justjudysjumbles.blogspot.com/2012/07/dd-chant-book-list.html
