Description Fractured Prophecy: Science Fiction Action Adventure by PJ McDermott
An alien messiah is missing, presumed dead. Will one woman’s interplanetary search for answers bring resurrection or betrayal?
Auriga, 2183. Empath Hickory Lace is desolated by the fiery death of the alien she once considered the son of God. But a tiny flicker of hope that he could still be alive brings her back to the Corps for a perilous mission behind Bikashi lines to recover the powerful sword of Connat. And although the Teacher’s self-sacrifice burns in her heart, the truth she uncovers on the enemy’s planet ignites a fierce new purpose.
A desperate sprint across an alien landscape unearths two different species kept in slavery by the Bikashi. Hickory decides she must liberate these suffering people and plans a daring rescue. But her assignment demands that she find the high-tech sword before the Bikashi can harness its power to enslave her home world.
Will Hickory use her abilities to save the innocent and thereby allow an alien warlord to conquer Earth, or will she leave the slaves to their fate?
Fractured Prophecy is the fourth book in the engrossing Prosperine YA science fiction series. If you like tenacious heroines and political intrigue with spiritual undertones, then you’ll love PJ McDermott’s epic story.
Follow Hickory in her quest for galactic truth.

Review Fractured Prophecy: Science Fiction Action Adventure by PJ McDermott
Guest Review by Sol A.
It’s the 23rd century and the earth has changed. Thousands of years of political and religious differences finally ended in a nuclear war that lasted a decade. The entire landscape of our planet has been altered. Now, what remains of humanity look to a new prophet. A prophecy has been revealed that the Messiah will appear on distant planets just before the end of days. A few years before ‘Fractured Prophecy’ begins, a man who called himself ‘The Teacher’ appeared and began performing miracles on a planet called Prosperine. Of course, many assume that this Teacher is the prophesied Messiah. But in a previous book in the series, the Teacher dies protecting his people from radiation that had been poisoning the planet.
How does a prophecy survive after the prophet is dead? This is a question that is both asked and answered in ‘Fractured Prophecy,’ the fourth book in the ‘Prosperine’ series by P.J. Mcdermott. A stunning space opera full of action, interplanetary politics, and real human emotions.
This novel brings a thought provoking element of Christianity into science fiction in a way that I’ve never seen before in any other book. The Teacher as a Christ like figure is a formidable allusion and one that didn’t come across as hokey or eyeroll-worthy as it might have in the hands of a less capable writer. The society that McDermott creates is varied and extensive. Many smaller details that sci-fi readers often leave out (such as pets, plants, clothing, etc.) were effectively used in this story and it really served to create a fuller picture and a more in-depth fictional universe. The characters all seemed like real people that you might meet in everyday life, only centuries in the future. A great read and one I suggest you pick up as soon as possible. 5 stars!
About PJ McDermott
Born in Scotland, PJ McDermott moved to Australia 50 years ago, and now lives in the tropics in the North Queensland town of Trinity Beach. He started writing after he retired from the corporate treadmill and published his first novel in 2015— Small Fish Big Fish, a coming of age thriller set during the sixties. But he has always read and loved adventure and science fiction books. PJ has fond early memories of hiding under the blankets in his bed, torch in hand, reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Gulliver’s Travels. In his teenage years, like many other kids, he had lots of unanswered questions about God and the purpose of life (is there one?). Even today, similar questions remain unanswered in his mind, providing him with a springboard for his book series, ‘Prosperine’.
