Arachna by AKRohner

He was a monster. The nightmares had tried to tell him for years. They were right. Arachna: A web-shaped city with a dazzling nightlife to distract its residents from that place-the slums. An abandoned section of Arachna where the poor suffer and crime rages on. Lance's home. But Lance is tired of withering away in his rundown store in the slums, tripping over bodies in the street and falling asleep to gunshots every night. Soon, he'll untangle himself from this rotten city... or so he thinks. In a deal gone sour, Lance is thrust into a new life in a dysfunctional crime family led by a performative and maniacal leader. Amidst the chaos of this new world, Lance finds that a mysterious drug is turning men into monsters. With his life at risk, and no escape from the city in sight, Lance must fight for survival, all while learning to live with his new 'family'. But Lance has a darkness inside him. Something he has hidden since that night at the orphanage. And when it bubbles to the surface, he worries about what he will become. Chapters will be posted weekly. (Can't wait to see the end? The full novel is available on Amazon.com for Ebook, Paperback, and Hardcover. Link can also be found on akrohner.com.)

Prodigy (Complete) by EdwardMullen

The greatest tragedy the world has ever known turned out to be the ultimate catalyst for change. In the wake of World War III, which decimated most of the world's population, the remaining survivors vowed to not continue to repeat the same mistakes of the past. Fortunately, they had something previous generations did not have - advanced technology. The year is 2117 and this once shattered civilization has become prosperous again. Innovative forms of technology have enabled them to abandon the old model and re-engineer a better way of living for all. Brain implants and genetic modifications have made an entire population educated, healthy, and kind. Despite the benefits of this technology, it has created some unforeseen side effects that threaten humankind's existence. When technology proves to be inept at solving the world's problem, a new hope emerges in the unlikeliest form - a young orphan girl. *** Cyberpunk, dystopian, technology, future, futurism, scifi, heroine, prodigy...

Interpol agent Alessandra Russo arrives seeking justice for her brother, but stumbles into a conspiracy that threatens the very fabric of reality. As the strings of control spread across Europe, Alessandra and her unlikely allies race against time to unravel the mystery.

In a game where the stakes are the future of humanity, who can you trust when your own mind might be the enemy?

Unfortunately, some of those answers might lie in a mind as unique as it is dangerously flawed. Customs inspector Jinsin Koel is used to having guns pointed at her head - but not ones attached to weapon-heavy cyborg insects who consider her lower on the food chain. The Xykeree, past enemies of humanity, should never have been allowed to dock at her home port. And they're just the start of her problems. Throw in a hereditary neurological illness and a secret society of soldiers genetically tailored for psionic combat and she has herself a whole new level of trouble ... the kind that could destroy her personal foundations and imperil billions of lives.
