"My job is to end the world. And for that service, I earn $55,352 a year."
-Captain Mark Hudson, United States Air Force Global Strike Command

The Martian meets Tom Clancy in this military thriller, told through the Senate's declassified report on the "Visigoth Crisis." Read personal log entries, after-action reports, and narratives adaptations to learn the truth about how the bravery and treason of two Air Force officers nearly started World War III. 

Mark Hudson's only job is to push a button when ordered; a button that will end the lives of untold millions half a world away. For months, he lives in a remote, top-secret missile silo, with only another, steely and reserved officer for company. 

Hudson is haunted by a moment of hesitation that cost the lives of fellow soldiers and he worries he might hesitate again - but this time, the world will be on the line.

I'll be releasing parts of this short story weekly, or you can find the full story on Kindle (just $.99!): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C2975BHAll Rights Reserved

As Long As She Lives (full published version!) by DarcyConroy

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A WOMAN WHO SURVIVED. Highest rank # 1 in Mystery/Thriller! Written on Wattpad and now published worldwide in print and eBook (in ePub and Kindle) at the usual retailers! Back Cover Blurb: After 4 years teaching in central Africa, Caitlyn Lancaster returns to her family in Australia, telling them she's been sent home because of looming political unrest. But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.

Vanguard Of The Mutants by TacitusKadari

So why waste money on space exploration?" said the new World Government after they decided the UFO found on the moon was merely an undocumented prototype from before the nuclear wars.

But out there, the so-called mutants found something. You can shut your doors to the world. But one day, the world will come knocking.

Stitches and Scars (Soap x OC) by DxrkHorizon04

Soap x OC Alicent spent her entire childhood dreaming of being a combat medic, treating those who risk their lives for the greater good. Despite her father's attempts to talk her out of it, she didn't budge, and soon she's being placed with her newly assigned task force. The task force consists of some of the deadliest soldiers in the world, carrying out missions and tasks others know nothing about. And yet, off the field, a certain goofball-of-a-man catches Alicent's eye, and she never thought she'd fall for a man who goes by the name 'Soap', but here we are. As Alicent struggles to voice her feelings, in fear of ruining the strong friendship between them, she must also balance the weight of keeping these boys alive and well, no matter the injuries they may obtain. Will she be able to pursue a relationship with the funny Scott, or will she hide away her feelings, keeping them to herself, and risking running out of time. Guess you'll just have to find out ;) I do not own any character from the Call of Duty franchise, only my own OC's and storylines. I hope everyone enjoys and I truly appreciate you guys taking the time to read my work ❤️ Started: September 23, 2024 Finished:

In Between Seasons by cgiovanniauthor

In 2021 the world as we know it changed. The government collapsed, and the worst characteristics of human nature were shown as the world fell into ruins. Years after The Fall, the Tribes that were established are still at war. They still fight to keep what they pillaged, and most of all they fight to keep their lies a secret. In a world filled with deception, nothing is as it seems. I was born into this world. Hunter Marks was molded into this world; a General- a person cold and harsh. A person meant to kill me. We were told to just believe. We were taught to never question. We're supposed to be robots and accept our roles in this altered society. Too bad Hunter and I don't follow the rules. And we're a hell of a lot stronger than they ever thought possible. They've been searching for the world's deadliest weapon. It's me. And I'm not following the leader any more.

Everyones Obsessed* by Cie1_5

The past carries an unjust history. Immoral actions mark the present. The future holds untold consequences. Bad things happen to good people, and good people do bad things. | | || ||| ||||| |||||||| ||||||||||||| You, of all people, should understand the obsession. Whether it's the endless hours lost to a screen, the compulsion to scroll through forums, the need for that next high, the haunting grip of past trauma, the fixation on someone unattainable, the pursuit of a fleeting feeling, or even the inexplicable attachment to something as simple as frogs-obsession has woven itself into every corner of your life. •__ •_ •• •_• •_• • •••• / ••_ • •_• I have done terrible things because I let obsession take over me. It wasn't always that way. It started as a lie; it became true one day. I told myself I was in control and could stop anytime, but I only lied to myself. I was powerless. I never wanted to hurt anyone; I hurt him and myself. Now, I'm left with the wreckage of my choices. I wonder if there's any way to get things back to how they were before. Xgbs bqf zpv patfttfc xisg? To us, they are just another random person: the letters carved on the table, the artist of old graffiti, the person who also walked into the restroom, the reason the trash is full, or the garbage thrower on the side of the streets. But to them, they're the main fucking character in their own story, and each mark, item, digital trace, and photo they have makes a fragment of their existence. We may never know their face or name, but the traces they left remind us that everyone's lives intersect, creating a vast web of connections; unnoticed or not, they are never truly invisible.
