Download As PDF : Fractal Cadence eBook Angela Madsen 
An apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic science fiction novel.
In the near future, medical technology has advanced. Processed bamboo structures could replace bone, and any flesh within the reach of pixie dust could be regrown. When Lila Stevens loses her leg in a car crash, she proves to be the exception. Beyond the reach of modern medicine, in a society terrified by the disobedient edges of knowledge, she was the new pariah.
Exile she managed, but she would not accept anything but the most technologically advanced replacement for her leg. She conceded the unattainable, and reached for the attainable an unremarkable gait. She bulldozed the best robotic scientists, doctors, and nanoengineers to have created a leg that would allow her to blend into crowds, as long as no one saw the leg itself.
She built a life for herself within the boundaries imposed on her by the loss of her leg, uniquely independent, living self-sustainably half way up a mountain abutting the edge of federal Adirondack parkland.
As she stumbled along in her independence, civilization faltered, then fell.
Then things really changed.
Fractal Cadence eBook Angela Madsen
Angela Madsen has some intriguing ideas. Two I particularly found interesting. First, how myths and beliefs develop over time. Second, how people perceive time as they age.Her nanotechnology science and social reactions to changes in science were very well done in the first sections. The latter portions where she seems to be trying show "every possible human society in 200 pages or less" were a little less absorbing as these societies have been described in numerous other post-apocalypse works and nothing particularly new was developed here.
Fractal Cadence could have used a little better editing. First because a lot of typos were obviously words that were spell-checked as good (the for their, pour for pore, etc.) and second because a good editor might have helped her tighten up some of the 'walkabout' sections in the last 2/3 of the book. However, even the typos didn't keep me from finishing and enjoying the book. I'll watch for a second book from Ms. Madsen.

Fractal Cadence eBook Angela Madsen Reviews
This book had potential, but actually reading it was a study in foot dragging...and being able to predict what was going to happen next , left me bored. I never finished the book, only reading about 35% of it.
This is an amazing read! I couldn't put it down. I rarely like first person narrative, but this was extremely well written. A few typos need editing,but overall, I was enthralled. I would love to read something else by this author.
I loved this book. The life span of one woman who is outcast by society, yet comes to accept both society and herself.
woman survives two civilization crashes and learns how society rebuilds itself.
Very different sci-fi, woman protagonist is a future, end-of-world type scenario. Good writing, plot is consistent, while I don't quite agree with how it went, it was consistent with the overall theme.
Good read!
While not a new topic, Angela did a good job of developing her character, and took the storyline in a slightly different direction. Yes there were parts of the story that were a bit stretched out but you can probably say that about any book you read. She didn't make technology the driving concept and kept a generally good pace. While I got this for free, with enough good reviews I'd have paid for it. And I will look to see if she has additional material to read.
I downloaded this as a free title. Much better than most of 's self-published sci-fi to be sure, and it has pretty good world-building. I'm somewhat reminded of War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise, where it's told from the perspective of Tom Cruise's character and his family, without delving too deeply into the background of what the heck is going on because the characters simply don't have access to that kind of knowledge. The protagonist isn't omniscient, and she speculates and has theories and ideas about what the heck is going on. While she does have access to experts, she and the people around her don't magically come to definitive and convenient conclusions over most of the course of the story as many poorly written stories do. While it isn't as polished as it could be, I feel this is some of the better sci-fi I've read this year.
