    Jack didn't ask to save the world. He just wanted to run his convenience store in peace. Then he woke up in a wasteland. No town. No neighbors. No Wi-Fi. Just cracked red earth, dead trees, and a voice in his head calling itself the Limitless Omniversal Supply System. The LOSS System. Jack laughed for a very long time. The system was not amused. Now he has a fully stocked store, unlimited water and electricity, and a system that's somehow both all-powerful and deeply offended by everything he says. To survive in a world where the average temperature hits 52°C, Jack will have to sell supplies, make allies, build shelter, and figure out why his little store might be the first step toward bringing a dead world back to life. One cold soda at a time.

    THE GARDEN IS PERFECT. THE PAST IS DEAD. THE LIE IS ABSOLUTE. For a century, the ruins of the old United States have been a graveyard of ash and bone. Nineteen-year-old Lyra knows only the brutal law of the wasteland-until a ghostly ambush by the armored Wardens of Eden rips her from her caravan and drags her beneath a colossal, thriving glass dome. Inside Eden, life appears to be a flawless paradise of luscious greenery, unblemished wealth, and absolute health. The citizens are thriving, and the ruling scientists promise a future entirely free from the radioactive poison of the outside world. To the leaders, Lyra is not a criminal; she is a genetic anomaly, possessing a flawless biological blueprint that the city desperately needs. But paradise is a velvet trap. Placed into the lower-tier workforce, Lyra quickly realizes there is more hidden beneath the city's warm, smiling facade. Caught between Xander, her fierce wasteland protector who refuses to be broken by the state, and Kaelan, an enigmatic Warden officer who risks everything to shield her in the dark, Lyra uncovers a devastating connection to her own forgotten past. To save the people she loves, she will have to initiate the ultimate rebellion and shatter the glass of the only sanctuary left on Earth.

    Oxygen is the currency. More money means a longer life. To stop breathing is to die broke. Two hundred and sixty-three years after The Great Choke siphoned the blue out of the sky, humanity is split into two warring realities. Inside the sterile, towering glass walls of the Dome, the elite Gleamers buy premium breathing plans while the working class watch their digital Atom Wallets tick down with every single breath they take. Julian is a rule-following technician managing the Giga-Tanks in the city's damp, industrial underbelly. He has never questioned the authority of the superior Providers. But when a pressure gauge needle moves for the first time in nearly three centuries, Julian discovers a terrifying truth: the city's corporate air supply is failing. Outside the glass lies the Nitrogen Void-a freezing, bone-dry desert under a pitch-black daytime sky. It is home to the Cultivators, a resilient faction of outcasts who survive in hidden underground bunkers, hunting the Slags-blind, eyeless predators that track human body heat and navigate by sending seismic clicks through stone-hard petrified trees. When Julian is betrayed by his own rulers and exiled into the void, he must team up with Vane, a positive, fiercely capable scavenger, and Gunnar, a pessimistic, battle-hardened warrior. But a routine hunt leads to a shocking discovery inside the bunker's algae vats: a tiny, living organism carrying the genetic code to restart global evolution. Now, the outcasts hold the key to the future of the human race. To save the planet, they must break into the Dome, trigger a global atmospheric reset, and reclaim the air-or watch humanity suffocate in the dark. *** 🌌 This is my very first book, written as a 13-year-old author!

    ALBERT "Eight years ago, the world ended. The Pacific War of 2004 was a ridiculously massive dispute between the nations of the world- all looking to find a rare material found deep in the seabed of the Pacific Ocean" FREDERICK "It was perfect. It was the most impressive nuclear reactor in all of Canada, maybe the world. Earlier this year, a reactor in Ukraine by the name of Chernobyl exploded, but this would be different" EVIE "I've got no clue how things ended up this way. I was just a troubled girl in a terrible city trying to find a purpose, and I'm not sure I ever did. Still, I am a pretty damn-good soldier." Three stories, three tragedies. A sci-fi taIe I hope you'll find interesting as you uncover the secrets of each and discover how they connect.

    ???: ''To anyone listening who has not been infected, this is a message from the Environmental Logistics & Solutions Enterprise. As you are keenly aware, our dear Earth has seen better days before the Great Desertification. And to make matters even more dire, our own attempt at combating it has turned against us. This planet is beyond our control, and beyond our help. Which is why we have taken to the stars for a fresh new start.'' ''By the time you've received this -- we, among the rest of humanity's remnants, have set a course for the identified exoplanet Si-[**static**] confirmed to support life. As for you and anyone else unfortunate enough to've been left behind, our organization has left a parting gift to help mitigate this global ordeal. And so, we ask that you be well-advised.'' ''If you happen to come across any carrier of the Absolute Zero virus, direct skin contact is to be avoided at all cost. It cannot be treated, and despite our best efforts, there is no known cure. So in terms of safety precautions, long-ranged heat-based weaponry is highly recommended; Flame throwers, explosives, lasers, etc. But keep in mind that they can only slow them down, not kill them outright. The cold from within will not allow that.'' ''Furthermore, hiding from plain sight is not a viable option. They will know where you are. Not by your tracks, but by-[***static***]-atter-[***static***]-verall survival strategy is to stay as far away from the carrier as possible -- and allow our trusted St. Helio units to intervene. Rest assured, they will keep them subdued. And if all goes according to plan, the virus we created will spread no further.'' ''Those of you who remain here have our deepest apologies. As well as our sincerest hope that you may persevere, just as human life has done since the very beginning. On behalf of ELSE, I bid you goodbye, good luck, and Godspeed. This world rests in your hands now.'' [*****static*****] Joleen Adrieau: ''... ... ...''

    Following the death of Vanessa Pheros, the revolution that stood against the Menta-Life Corporation and inhabited Gharis City has fallen, thanks to a newly arisen adversary. Berkham Technologies has been seized control over and the entire robotic presence has been reprogramed to unite in defense of a new regime that now holds every city by the throat.

With their society on the run from a raider leader with cruel intentions, she struggles to fit in amongst the strangers who are cautious of her sudden appearance in these dire times.
