He has almost reached the bridge. If he reaches it and crosses it, he will escape me forever, and I must return to the Grandmothers to face my disgrace. But he speaks to me--in my language. Can it be that...we were mistaken?

A World's Bounty di MyMintyWinters

The time has finally arrived, where the earth has reached its limit. Food, water, and land, all luxuries we've taken for granted, have been slowly looming down on us as a possible issue of the future. But that was just it. An issue of the future. So we ran and ran until we were backed right into a corner. The future has now become the present, and we can no longer run. So how does humanity respond, when it's very existence is threatened? Does it respond with words? With ideas and theories? But what if that doesn't work? Does it respond by blade? How will humanity take on its biggest enemy yet... itself.

Time flies by when you're sleeping di DarkValkyrie6

A massive alien ship and a human in a small pod, in cryogenic sleep, thousands of light-years away from earth. What could go wrong and how will he get back to earth? -------------------------------------- Notes: I felt tired one day and thought that I could use a long nap. This story is a result of that thought. I didn't use any movies or series for inspiration, the story is my original work. This is just the result of my weird imagination and brain thinking about what that character would do and telling me what to write. I hope you like it :) It's just a story, like all of my other stores. It doesn't have a deeper spiritual, moral or ethical meaning.

The Juggernaut (Juggernaut #1) di PeterADixon

Tales from the Juggernaut #1. Complete. Wattys 2018 shortlist. WHAT IS THE SECRET OF THE JUGGERNAUT? *PRAISE FOR THE JUGGERNAUT* *** Good story, great setting, and well fleshed characters. *** Gripping from the beginning...cannot wait for the next one... *** ...a hint of John Scalzi... *** I really enjoyed this book *** I love the characters *** ...brilliantly captures my curiosity. *** captures your imagination right from the start *** Unique and really drags you in.... I can't wait to see what comes next. *** A great, exciting, fast paced read *** Can't wait for the second installment! *** The Juggernaut A city in space built from the twisted wreck of a thousand ships, in a decaying orbit around a dying star. The last refuge of the dispossessed. The place Tila Vasquez now calls home. When a distant colony of stars lost contact with earth, they descended into the fires of a civil war. From the ashes rose the Commonwealth - Eleven systems struggling to survive the aftermath and rebuild civilisation with the remnants of the technology they once had. The mission to colonise Baru was to be the first step forward in a hundred years. Three colony ships set out to discover a new star and build the first hyperspace beacon in three generations. But the mission failed. The Far Horizon vanished through the unstable wormhole. The Rising Star and New Dawn were destroyed. Tila's parents were among the thousands lost. Now she has joined the ranks of the dispossessed. So when Tila finds the impossible - a shuttle from the Far Horizon buried deep within the Juggernaut - she sets out with her friends Ellie and Malachi to uncover the truth behind the colony mission. But some things are buried for a reason, and some secrets should never be revealed... **The Juggernaut is part one of an exciting space action-adventure mystery series.**

The Only di gracieford

I lost myself somewhere between space and time. I repeated my name over and over, refusing to leave myself behind. But the more I decintigrated, the more of myself I lost, until everything, my name, Timmy's smile, even my parents were forgotten. I found nothing but black space and white silence. The longer I stayed, however, the more vivid the colors became, and then they began to take shape. After what felt like hours, I was myself again, strapped to a chair with Jesse materializing in front of me. I'm Stasey. When the aliens attacked Earth, myself, my best friend Jesse, and my "friend" Timothy may have been the only people to survive. We're on a quest to find other survivors and potentially save our planet, but to do that we have to avoid being shot, eaten, or falling in love. But sometimes things work out differently than we expect, and we have to make the decision: sacrifice ourselves for the ones we love, or the ones we love for the ones we can save.

Shurak, book 2 di noozaster

My crew and I take the jobs we need to survive in a world overrun by aliens. We fly a stolen ship that once trafficked women-us included. Now, we make our own rules and do whatever it takes to stay free. My latest job? Rehabilitate a Zohra-a towering alien locked away in prison, meant to be tamed into usefulness for his captors. Then I meet him-my job, a mute Zohra. And that's when everything goes sideways. Rescuing him wasn't in the plan, yet now we're on the run, supposedly relying on each other... except I'm the one doing all the work. He's frustrating. Completely useless. A liability, really. And yet, for some ridiculous reason, I just can't leave him behind.

The First Jumper (first draft version) di BrianGroover

This is the first draft, and will remain free on Wattpad. The revised version has now been published! An alien explorer meets disaster on ancient Earth, and must invade the body of a primitive human to survive, creating great difficulties for the alien, the human, and the human community, as an impending ice age threatens survival for everyone. This story is a prequel to the short story, "The Jumper." This was my National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) novel for 2014. As I wrote it, I journaled the experience of writing a novel in a month, here: (http://www.wattpad.com/story/25287959). Copies of the physical (trade paper) book may be purchased at www.createspace.com/5474914 amzn.com/1512022241 It may also be purchased as an eBook: for Amazon Kindle, at www.amazon.com/dp/B00X2ENLC0 for other eReaders at www.smashwords.com/books/view/540042 and other online retailers

Runaway World di IanReeve216

During the final decades of the twenty first century, a rogue brown dwarf star passed through the solar system and its gravity threw the Earth out of orbit around the sun. Two hundred years later, when the atmosphere has finished freezing onto the surface, explorers from the last refuge of humanity venture out to see what's become of their world. Things looks bleak. Mankind faces a future of huddling in whatever warm refuges it can make for itself until the Earth's core goes cold, but then a discovery is made. An opportunity exists for mankind to leave the planet and find its destiny among the stars, but to do so requires an all or nothing gamble and losing would mean the end of the human race. Some want to take the gamble. Others don't, and so conflict and violence breaks out as the survey teams explore a planet transformed out of all recognition...
