[Book 1 of the ARC10 Trilogy] **Winner of the 2017 Watty Storysmith award** The President created an underground safe-haven for the survivors of the alien invasion. He built it to save them all from total annihilation. He protects them, feeds them, keeps them under his ever-watchful gaze so they can live. All he asks is that they obey. Captain Janika Lorn doesn't want to obey. Not if it means spreading her legs and contributing to the President's precious eugenics program. As a perfect candidate for the Human Hope Project, she is obligated by law to make more citizens for the dying society. But all she wants is her freedom to fight the Invaders and protect the people who already exist. If the mandated program wasn't bad enough, the worst part is trying to fulfill it with Captain Dean Freyer, her scientifically matched partner and best friend of sixteen years. Just as Captain Lorn is about to succumb to her fate, another opportunity arises. A mysterious commanding officer asks her to lead a human refugee ship--to save humanity by evacuating the destroyed Earth and shuttling the remaining population to a new habitable exoplanet 400 light years away. The mission is perilous. Especially because now, standing between her and her freedom is the hostile alien hosts of her ship, the ARC10, a sister returned from the dead, an array of impossibly confusing alien tech, a rekindled heat between her and Dean, and a sexy militia chief she can't seem to keep her hands off of. ARC10 is a romance-heavy sci-fi with the speculative horror of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the military action of Battle: Los Angeles. Cover art by @FayLane Copyright © 2016 by LL Montez

When seventeen-year-old Eliza Witheree's family is taken to a safe haven in Washington D.C by the National Guard after an international bioterrorist group threatens the world with nuclear weapons, Eliza and her baby sister are accidentally left behind. Eliza quickly learns the bombs launched by the bioterrorist group are no ordinary nuclear weapons: the radiation that poisons the air proceeding the initial bomb blast does not affect children, and it leaves some adults zombified. Thrust into a world of flesh-eating monsters who were once adults, shadow-playgrounds of cities, children waging war on each other, and terrorists in hazmat suits kidnapping children, Eliza has three goals: Survive, keep her little sister safe, and get the hell to Washington DC so she can find the rest of her family. The world has ended, and it will push a sharp-witted, nerdy young woman to extremes as every odd is stacked against her. Stay low. Kill first. Die last.

His voice was like honey that dripped from the nectar of the sweetest flower. It calmed and reassured her, yet it disturbed her at the same time. "What do you want?" Luxor held her hand against her eyes, and squinted into the glow, her voice too calm. She knew what he wanted but she always asked, hoping one day he would say something different. "You of course." His silken voice cooed. "Why?" Luxor whispered, trying to hide the tremors. His voice growled, deep as a stone. "Because you are mine." The Earth shook, lightening strikes through the sky, and hitting branches, making them tumble. The last thing sixteen-year-old Luxor Everstone expects when waking up from a coma is to be accused with the attempted murder of her best friend, that she has no recollection of.

Don't show fear. Don't attract attention. Don't forget who the monsters are. Those are seventeen-year-old Janneke's three rules to surviving in the Permafrost. Her family is dead, her village burned to the ground, and now she's a slave in a court of merciless goblins. Though her master, Soren, offers her a small sphere of protection, it comes at the cost of abandoning humanity and their ways for good. When the Goblin King is defeated in a fight, it ignites an ancient competition to become the next King. The goal is simple: kill the sacred White Stag before the other goblins kill you. Soren sees it as the perfect opportunity to shape Janneke's acceptance of the goblins' way and give in to the hatred and violence festering inside of her. Janneke's only hope for survival is to outrun, outfight, and out-kill every creature in her path, all the while dealing with Soren, whose fierce desire for her to be a goblin is shadowed by his fascination for her human heart. Hunting the Stag is Janneke's best chance at revenge over those who enslaved her, but to succeed, she'll have to watch her humanity bleed out like the creatures she's sworn to kill. **CREDIT FOR THE WONDERFUL COVER GOES TO @seventhstar *** ***COMPLETED.
