Yalena Russo, your STAR Academy invitation has arrived. Unlike other teenagers across the near worlds, Yalena isn't space-crazed. But a surprise invitation to join the exclusive STAR Academy opens a window to her unknown origins, making her ponder... What if space is where she belongs? Mystified by the leadership trio known as the O'Donnells, as well as the reason they brought her on board, Yalena stumbles onto an alarming secret. Pulled deeper into the mystery by the commander's son, she will find that some riddles can be hard to walk away from-especially if she is the one holding the answers. Take a plunge into the not-so-near future, where travel is interplanetary, competition is a rush, and even the elite don't always play by the rules. ---This is an excerpt containing Chapter 1 only--- ---The full novel can be found on Amazon--- Genuine praise from Wattpad readers: @Romantic26: "Amazing chapter.

Dalawang taon na ang nakararaan matapos ang insidenteng naganap sa Pilipinas, natunghayan ng buong mundo ang pagbagsak ng isang diktador na nagngangalang Johan Klein. Sinubukan niyang manipulahin ang lahat ng gumagamit ng memory gene upang magkaroon ng pagbabago sa sistema ng buong mundo gamit ang MCM o Memory Control Maneuver. Ito ang programang ginawa ng MEMO upang kontrolin ang lahat ng tao sa mundo na gumagamit ng memory gene upang pabagsakin ang isang bansa, tanggalin ang mga balakid sa daraanan ng MEMO at gawing matiwasay ang pamumuhay ng bawat gumagamit nito sa paraan ng pagcontrol. Hindi ito nagustuhan ng mga tao, bagkus ay ipinakita lamang ni Johan ang kung anong kayang gawin ng MEMO upang sirain ang sangkatauhan. Inalay niya ang sariling buhay para lang baguhin ang sistema ng buong mundo. Pinalabas niyang si Helena ang kumitil sa kanya upang siya ang kilalanin bilang tunay na bayani. Lubos namang nalungkot si Helena sa ginawa ng binata ngunit naniwala naman ang mga tao na dahil sa kanya ay nagkaroon ng pagbabago. Tuluyang bumagsak ang kompanyang MEMO. Naging panatag ang buhay ng bawat tao at tuluyan na ring nasira ang caste system sa buong mundo na humati sa lipunan sa mahabang panahon. Naging tahimik ang bawat isa ngunit isang balita ang gumimbal sa buong mundo. Natuklasan ng gobyerno na nawawala ang MCM program, pinaniniwalaang ipinasa ito ni Johan Klein sa isang di kilalang tao na tinatawag na Subject 1. Dahil dito ay naglunsad ang pamahalaan ng bawat bansa ng ilang fact finding committee upang hanapin ang MCM program at alamin ang tunay na pagkatao ng Subject 1. Marami na ring iba't-ibang organisasyon ang nakikipag-agawan sa naturang programa upang baguhin ito at i-hack upang hindi lamang DNA ni Johan ang makapag-activate sa naturang program. Ang mga di kilalang organisasyon na lumalantad sa lipunan ay patuloy din na naghahanap sa naturang programa na maaari nilang gamitin sa pansariling kapakanan at maaaring ikasira ng buong sangkatauhan.

When seventeen year-old Runner was sentenced to death for stealing a loaf of bread in MegaCity One, his dreams were literally at an end. But then he opts to sign up for the Remnants of Men, a government sanctioned search for a rumoured fresh water lake beyond a radiated wasteland. At first, it seemed like a second chance to a new life, the transformation from zero to hero. But after an encounter with a rabid gang of men suffering an acute insanity, he soon comes to understand that he is one of many discarded into the wasteland to study the cannibalistic effects of a new drug called the Sixth Sense. Olivia Patterson has had one too many doses of the Sixth Sense and owes a massive debt to a shadowy rebel and loan shark called Death-Throe. Being the daughter of the City's dictator, she knows too well that the gallows awaits any who associates with the rebel. In an attempt to free herself, she acquires an asset in the form of Runner and finds herself always at the edge, for if he survives it means freedom for both, but if he dies...

Merudoxin. Hearing that word should have made everyone grimace at the thought. It should have filled their body with pure anger to see women everywhere rave about the new drug; to see its name plastered all over the news. They told us it would make labour painless. They told us it would revolutionize childbirth. The only thing left to do was to test it. On us. Women everywhere were lining up at their local hospitals just waiting to get a taste of the drug. Conceitedly, they signed their names. Everyone was hoping the medicine would work. It was to be a major science breakthrough! But no one ever promised that the babies wouldn't get hurt. No one seemed to care about the endangerment of their lives. That's where I came in. A voice for the voiceless. I would never let a life be wasted, even if my own life became at risk. **Sneak Preview** The doctor took the baby in his hands and took a look himself. I heard him take a sharp intake of breath. "Bloody hell!" he exclaimed. "What should we do with her?" the surgeon asked. "We're going to have to get rid of it" he announced simply. I whipped my head towards Arturo. I began getting up, trying to end this tyranny but Arturo held me back and that's when I remembered where we were, who I was carrying inside me. I cried quietly as I watched the woman scream and whimper as she realised the fate of her child. And the fate of herself. The surgeon wheeled her inside a door followed by the Doctor with the baby. "You can't do this to us! Give me my baby!" she sobbed helplessly until she said in a quiet voice, "Let me hold her once". The doors closed before I could see if they fulfilled her last wish. That's the last I saw of her and her daughter. Hope you enjoy, fishies! Copyright Restricted
