Better World
Publisher Description
The last humans spent centuries searching for a new Earth. Now they face extinction.
For three hundred years, arks have carried the last remnants of humanity through dark space. The ships are old, failing, and every colonist must do their duty to ensure the fleet's survival.
Maeve is a metalworker, toiling in the blistering sublevels of the London. She's lost friends and family to the hazardous work conditions and fears every job she's assigned could be her last. All she wants is a little control over her life, but the oppressive sublevel enforcers ensure that’s not an option.
Now, after decades of traveling, the ships have finally reached their destination: Soren, a toxic planet that may have the resources they desperately need. But mining a planet comes at a price, and Maeve and the other workers will be expected to pay it with their lives.
If a better world awaits, Maeve's sure to be dead long before the fleet finds it… unless she finds a way to control her destiny and change it.
"Addictive sci-fi series. I haven't been this hooked on an author since Anne McCaffery's Killashandra series." ~ Marie Hall, New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author

A good read!
Just wish it were longer... This is still a satisfying read, but I wanted to spend more time with the main character and her interesting universe.
Amazing.
This was an amazing read, truly. I'll be honest in saying that if it wasn't free I probably wouldn't have read it, but man oh man, after reading it I have to say that it would have been worth paying for. Autumn, if you are reading this, I want to say that you truly are an exceptional writer and I look forward to purchasing the next book in this story. Great job!
Nice clean sci-fi; can't wait for more.
The political message aside, the story moves along and character development is well done. The style is clean and I look forward the rest of the series.
