White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2021 Shortlister. Standalone sequel (Rocks Can Dance) coming in 2023. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated.

SPACESHIP ZOMBIE CRUISE by ericdabbs

When the first ever space cruise ship completes its inaugural tour of the solar system, Bellatrix 'Bella' Starr will catch a ride back home that she'll never forget. The ship docks at its final destination, a space travel corporation's half-moon beach hotel orbiting the gas giant Neptune. But a virus transforms all but the immune into bloodthirsty living zombies. On the faster return trip, Bella Starr and a group of immune passengers must navigate the dark corridors of the ship and find a way to warn port officials of the impending apocalypse before they reach Earth, and if all possible, live long enough to see the planet they call home. (A File from the Interplanetary Data Stream - Book One)

When a mysterious intruder arrives with murderous intent and sets about carrying out his plan, Nate is caught well and truly in the middle. Can he find out who this person is before another attempt is made? Or will the last memory he creates be that of his own death? Only after investigating his past with the help of his alien guide, will he finally discover the truth. Dare you enter the Rift!

The Horizon Strangers by StacyR222

Sam was just a simple girl. Fresh out of college, she finally landed her dream job as a program manager in the heart of the city. Her life was on track-everything was falling into place. Or so she thought. That all changed the day the sky opened. An ominous object appeared on the horizon, throwing the world into chaos. Suddenly, the life Sam had carefully planned was shattered by the arrival of something unworldly. Dark, mysterious, and otherworldly beings descended upon Earth, changing everything she knew. In the midst of this upheaval, Sam encounters Zevran, a stranger from a distant planet. He's unlike anything she's ever seen-dangerous, compelling, and yet, she can't deny the pull between them. But with his arrival comes a reality she never imagined: a world of alien technology, hidden agendas, and an ancient war brewing in the shadows. Caught between two worlds, Sam faces an impossible choice-adapt to her new, terrifying reality or run from it. But Zevran holds secrets that could either save her or destroy everything she holds dear. As the invasion intensifies, she must decide where she stands. Will she embrace her fate or flee from the unimaginable truth? The Horizon Strangers is a gripping tale of love, danger, and survival. One thing is certain: Sam's life will never be the same. But in this new world, can she trust her heart-or will the stars tear them apart?

The Last Ship (18+) by NikolaiWolfe

Highest Rank: #1 Alien 6-21-21 WARNING: This contains Xenophile (Alien / Human smut) If you don't find interest then that, this is not the place to be. Thanks! Or Skip the chapter. 18+ ______________________ The year is 3999. Nearly a thousand years after a alien infection was set loose by the intelligent lifeforms know as Irinaut. No one knows exactly how they were able to make such a infection, but it was capable of destroying nearly all life on Earth. Those who couldn't hide or make it to the ships to escape their home planet, were left for the Irinauts. These alien lifeforms were capable of controlling human bodies, infecting them with their black dust, impregnating fertile human female's, and growing the Irinaut's massive companions, the Yeti's, a less evolved version of the Irinaut. Earth is gone. Nothing more then a ball of dust. After the people fled on ships, they traveled to their new hope. It was a place of solitude. The human race was able to flee from the foreign infection, but for how long? Luna was frozen on the ship. For nearly a 200 years, their ship had traveled. Many people had been placed in a cryogenic state. That of which kept them from aging as they made their way out of the infection. For them, a place of safety, The Solar Sun. The Solar Sun space ship was the closest landing unit in the solar system. Many others would have to be traveled to after refueling and preparing for another two or three centuries of being in a cryogenic state. For Luna, the girl hopes that space would be her escape from the aliens that destroyed their Earth, but that was only the beginning. Upon arrival, the ship is found infested. Luna and a small team of scientists had come in hopes for finding a cure for the strange virus, only to find the virus had taken over most of The Solar Sun, following a few escaped Irinauts. The Solar Sun is their last hope, and their last escape from these beings, but what's to be found there will change everything.

MINDSLIP by TonyHarmsworth

MINDSLIP is the catastrophe which hits the Earth at 8.15am GMT next Wednesday morning. It began six hundred and fifty years earlier when Betelgeuse fulfilled its long-held prophecy to turn supernova. The radiation, gamma rays and gravitational waves hit the Earth at the same time as a coronal mass ejection. The combined bombardment causes all creatures on the Earth to swap minds, leaving people in animals, animals in people, men in women and children in adults. The nightmare which follows becomes a social and economic catastrophe. Geoffrey Arnold becomes a key figure in the government catastrophe committee, formed to resolve the myriad issues raised by MINDSLIP. Power generation, the health service, farming, pay, pensions, education, the banking system and asset ownership spiral into chaos. In addition, Geoffrey must save his wife from an imminent premature death brought on by one of the MINDSLIP effects. MINDSLIP is a realistic, frightening and sometimes amusing work of imagination which explores how people and families react to the world being changed beyond recognition. Note: MINDSLIP had been acquired by a publisher who, regrettably, has now folded. Rather than put the original version up on Wattpad, I have decided to give it a considerable edit. I'd love to know what you think. The early chapters might disturb, but hopefully they will also make you think about how you would deal with Geoff, Andrea, Angus, Caroline or Allan's situations.

Coyote by JaxonBlacc

Thousands of years after Earth became uninhabitable, humanity colonized other planets and moons around the solar system. Amid rising crime rate, the Galactic Space Force (GSF) set up a legal contract where registered bounty hunters (known as Coyotes) go after criminals and bring them in alive in return for credits. Wolf is one of the best coyotes in the GSF, but also one of the most hated. He has no care of the damage he causes to people or buildings when pursuing a bounty, leaving the GSF having to compensate those affected by his actions. When the daughter of a senator in The Kingdom becomes the most wanted terrorist in the solar system, the GSF is hired to find her before anyone else does. Willing to look past Wolf's reckless history, the director of the GSF contracts him and other coyotes to find the senator's daughter and take her to the GSF at whatever cost. But with enemies after the same woman, Wolf is forced to trust and rely on his new partners in hopes of getting the biggest payday of his life.
