L.O.V.E. by denissebloom04

100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)

Tisis by Refugnic

Earth lies in ruins after the war which truly was to end all wars. All those who could afford it, fled the planet into the grand void. Those who could not and were still lucky enough to survive holed up in the few somewhat habitable areas left on the planet. One day however, salvation came from the stars, as the Asmodei descended upon the ruined earth, bearing promises of a new world for mankind to thrive on. A fresh start, to make up for the follies of the past. But nothing works out quite as advertised, does it?

Elaina. In search of a planet. by GenndyGaro

Civilization on the planet Almatea could disappear without a trace due to the invasion of underground creatures. Several star teams have been sent out to search for a suitable planet. An Almatian named Elaina came from the other end of the galaxy to the solar system. At this time, mankind began to explore Mars. The meeting of an alien and people was fateful for both civilizations. A novel about a long and exciting journey: to the far reaches of the galaxy that frighten with their extremeness, to unimaginable planets that David Attenborough would dream of singing about in his stories about nature, to megacities that will literally turn your imagination upside down, about mutual assistance of intelligent beings of the Milky Way, about how one small animal will amaze with its devotion and behave like a guardian angel, about the migration of creatures across the Universe and how a dream becomes a reality. If you like Jules Verne's thrilling travel stories, the mystique of the universe as described by Charles Sheffield, and the adventure novels of Vladimir Malik, then you won't regret reading this amazing story.
