Three years ago we created a new concept: Punk Wars! Where two (or more) sci-fi -Punk sub-genres collide in one science-fiction story. Now we're back at it again. That's right, we're returning to the Punk Wars, 'troopers! Ooorah!

A book of general questions, what the profile is about and how you can get your book added to one of our reading lists! *** Cover:

The crew of El Precursor has a secret mission: deliver blueprints that represent the only hope for a nation on the brink of war . To fund their journey, they take a spy job in Rilaph, a city-state ruled by the megacorporation Prayant . This corporation's technological "fire"-the Haleine engine -is the very force that once flooded the world . Soon, they find themselves hunted by pirates wielding impossible technology and betrayed by the very executives who hired them . Trapped in a game of betrayal where everyone is a target, the dysfunctional crew of El Precursor must unmask the real traitor. They must race against time before the legacy of Prometheus -the same fire that drowned the world -is unleashed to consume what little remains.

Adelaide KnightDale wants nothing more than to ditch dry land and experience The Mechanical Squid for herself. First place in Wattpunk's Tales of Oceanpunk Contest.

In a dystopian future, an acidic flood reigns and the only signs of old life lie in the deep. Alex - an outcast with an inquisitive mind and a set of strangely specific skills - must navigate a world where she is shunned from the safety of the domes and stuck in the water. One day, while exploring a set of deep-sea ruins, she is haunted by a mysterious spirit; a spirit that seems to be warning her of something. The problem is, this ancient being doesn't seem to have any memory of its previous life. With a newly-possessed fish at her side, she must now uncover a secret organisation, find out what it means to do and save both humans and spirits from their plans. --- This is my entry for the Open Novella Contest 2026.
