Jadde – The Fragile Sanctuary is a full on smash and crash through post-apocalyptic Sci-fi. If you want to see how a genetic mutation can go horribly wrong then read this book.
Millennia have passed since the twenty-first century demon wars when mankind so nearly succumbed to genetically altered mutants - The Quarter-men. Now only isolated pockets of struggling humanity survive.
One insular tribe The Seconchane, are developing psychic powers. Sometimes the gift fails and the unfortunates are banished from the Seconchane’s mountain valleys. Into this harsh reality comes Malkrin Owlear one of the Seconchane’s most gifted. But his incredible talent falters once too often . . .
He discovers the deadlands are not as barren as the priesthood say. The quarter-men, from mans technological past have returned, intent on completing their destruction of mankind.
Malkrin and his paranormally talented friends must rediscover from a time forgotten how the ancients led by the goddess Jadde prevailed over the quarter-men swarms.
It was mans last chance – and Malkrin cannot fail.

This book is somewhat of a different take on post-apocalyptic future stories. The story takes place in the 3100s, more than a thousand years in the future. However, if you think that technology is king, you would be wrong.Society, at least in the area where this story takes place, has mostly regressed to a tribal structure. Some are theocratic, some are more "naturist", and at least one seems to be a non-tribal group that has technological "advances", but mostly with a late 1700s-early 1800s feel.
The early part of the book deals with one such tribe, a multiple-class theocratic society known as the "Secondchane". There are several main characters, but most of the book revolves around Malkrin Owlear, a hunter who has a "highsense", or some enhanced ability. People with these abilities in this tribe are highly prized, but in an unusual twist, if the sense ever fails them, they are banished from the tribe, which strikes me as quite harsh.
Needless to say, Malkrin's ability starts to fail, at least intermittently. Of course, he is then banished from the tribe into the "deadlands", an unknown area where no one ventures. The bulk of the story is then of the wanderings of Malkrin, and his discovery of many other tribes, most with similar beliefs to his own tribe, none of which his tribe ever knew about.
The challenge for all is that a scourge of evil "demons", also known as "quarter-men", has arisen and is coming to the area. They are formidable fighters and ruthless, so Malkrin tries to get the many tribes together to fight together.
The other main theme involves the Priesthood, and their sacred writings. It turns out that most of these "sacred writings" are actually books and other information left from the mid-21st century, though the priests don't know it. The contents are almost unintelligible, since it largely refers to technology that the tribes have no clue about. As the book goes one, some scholars start to make more sense of the writings, at least about the quarter-men.
One of my problems with the concept is how easily most of the tribes come together without question, and how it seems that many get familiar and comfortable with the 21st-century technology without issues. It just seems to be a bit too easy. However, that does not mean they leap forward in technology overnight.
Many questions remain at the end of the book, although the volume itself comes to a somewhat satisfactory end. There is still one mysterious group that no one ever met in person, but seems to have a far better grasp of the "old" advanced technology. The quarter-men still exist to threaten all the tribes. And for the reader especially, there is much of the "old" back-story still unanswered, how things got to where they are.
Structurally, the book could use some decent editing. The author seems to have an aversion to using an apostrophe to make any pronoun possessive (Malkrins/Malkrin's). There are some homonym mistakes (teaming/teeming), and for some reason, there is an ongoing confusion between the words "off" and "of", which is rather unique. For the structural challenges, I drop one star. One other area of frustration is the author's penchant for going into too much detail on some things, slowing the pace of the book.
However, overall the story is well-conceived, rather unique, and keeps the reader interested. I did find myself reading far longer into the night than I should. I will say, though, the book seemed far longer than 263 pages. If for no other reason, I may go on to Book 2 just to hopefully find out more about how society got to this point, rather than what happens next.

Jadde The Fragile Sanctuary eBook Clive Ousley Reviews
I guess I must be as dumb as a door nob. I get bored and start reading one of these free ebooks and getting hooked on the story. Yeah it just happened again with this book and now that I have finished it I find myself compelled to go find the next book in the series.
So be fore warned that you too can be sucked into enjoying the story so much you just HAVE to get your eyes on that next book.
I hope you enjoy this story as much as I have be you may also become hooked....
Bought this e-book as I enjoy the genre. Haven't read it yet, but will soon as it's on my to-read list.
Post apocalyptic fiction is not my usual genre when it comes to reading fiction, but once I started reading this book I found myself unable to put it down until I'd finished - was even stirring the gravy with one hand and my in the other. The book is original in content, well written, nicely paced and peopled with believable characters. I enjoyed it so much I immediately went on to books two and three in the series. So perhaps it is my kind of fiction after all. Thoroughly recommend it.
Utterly gripping from the very beginning. The story of the "high sensed" hunter, Malkrin, living under the oppressive and cruel regime of the Brenner seems to be set in a primitive age. But all is not as it seems. Unexplained technology is revealed in the rituals of the court which unfairly casts our hero out of the community and separates him from his beloved wife. Weaponless he sets out into the wilderness determined not only to survive but to find a way to seek the aid of the Goddess Jadde.
Growing in stature as the story progresses Malkrin discovers other fascinating communities all searching for Jadde who seems to have deserted mankind. All need to combine their knowledge and unite against the awesome threat of a vast army of monsters. The vivid and compelling tale moves to an exciting climax with many surprises in store right up to the very end.
Not my typical genre, but I thought I would give something new a try. And I can honestly say I have no regrets! A very exciting read!
A great read! I loved the plot. The characters are well developed and the story moves quickly. Can't wait to read the second in the series.
this book is about the earth many centuries in advance of what we are now. But it has fallen back into almost to the hunting and farming of the 1700 for the most part, but you see a little of the 20 century on some things, this book kind of lets you know how this happened. And how some of the people are trying to figure out how to remedy this
