Broken People

By David Meyer

The Broken didn't just fracture the world.
It fractured the people left behind.

Hours after the collapse of Natica's last defenses, General Titus Foster is buried alive. Trapped in the ruins of Station Four with no light and no way out, he must navigate a collapsing labyrinth of stone and sand. But as the oxygen thins, the greater threat emerges-not from the dark, but from the cracks forming in his own mind.

Above ground, the hinterlands have become a graveyard. Predatory machines move beneath the dunes, and the Banished prepare for a final strike. Leading them is Titus's brother, Dargon Foster, who has judged humanity unworthy of survival and intends to finish what the Broken began.

Across the wasteland, Sanza Curt races toward the mountains with a single tablet-the only vessel holding the consciousness of Kayden Kell. But Kayden's refuge is failing. A hidden purge protocol spreads through the device, erasing everything it touches, even as Cormella Dodge-an A.I. embodied in living nanotech-closes in to wipe the slate clean.

All paths lead to the Shell-a mountain fortress built for a purpose history has forgotten. Inside, ancient systems still run. Bodies still sleep. And the boundary between the digital and the physical is thinner than anyone imagined.

As Titus fights to survive and Kayden fights to reclaim her life, they confront a final truth: the world cannot be restored by mourning what was lost.

It can only be rebuilt by choosing what comes next.

Broken People is the third and final book in the Broken Nature Trilogy, a mystery-driven science fiction epic about identity, consequence, and the hard-won hope that emerges after the end of the world.
