"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.

The Analyst's Nightmare (Mission Impossible 4), de FroggieShroom4

"This message will self destruct in 5 seconds." He turned to look at me, a quizzical expression covering his features. "No, no, no, no! Don't give me that look I know what that means!" I said, defensively. What is it that one does hours before when the Kremlin's intact but once you leave having failed your original objective, it implodes causing the entire world to heap its destruction onto your shoulders, in turn making Russian agents track you down over a series of nations, borders and buildings which simultaneously reveals your actual heritage and the whereabouts of your Mother of whom, you'd been lead to believe died a long time ago? Nope didn't think you had an answer to that. And frankly, neither do I. I manage to get myself so caught up in much of this tangible work that I don't even have a plan of action. I just go with the flow I guess. It's either that or I'm incredibly talented and charismatic. I personally, think it's the latter but I'll leave that decision up to you. The IMF will stop at nothing to get the answers even if the rest of the organisation has been disavowed, having had Ghost Protocol initiated. But that begs the question, can a certain analyst aid them in their efforts? Or is he too, hiding something which goes deeper than anyone initially thought? Join Miles and the rest (or remaining) members of the IMF as they travel the world to stop a nuclear explosion from damaging humanity...

Power Rangers Knights of the Galaxy: Beginnings, de Syrevfxz

A year has passed since the Milky Way Galaxy was wiped out. Earth is a ghost of a memory. The Rangers survived, but the grief is a constant, heavy weight. They failed their world. Their survival is owed entirely to Delta, their former master. In his final, desperate act, he sacrificed everything, tearing half of humanity from the destruction and flinging them across the stars to his home world, Zeqa. This act of pure sacrifice is the debt they now live under. Settling on Zeqa is brutal. How do you "get over" the end of the world? Though they're surrounded by a strange, vibrant new environment, they're no longer the most important heroes; other saviors are stepping up. The Rangers live on, some trying to accept their diminished roles. But space doesn't care about a fresh start. The cosmos promises adventure on an unimaginable scale, but also danger they can't comprehend. Just as they start to find a foothold, they crash headlong into a nightmare: a lethal stranger with utterly blank motives. They are nearly killed, almost meeting the same fate as Earth and Delta. Then, when all seems lost, an extraterrestrial swoops in, saving them. This savior, however, has an agenda. They desperately need the Rangers' help to save their own world, Esperanza. The survivors of a doomed planet are now immediately dragged into the heart of the next impending disaster.

Vanguard Of The Mutants, de TacitusKadari

Available on Amazon and many other platforms. "We know for a fact that we are alone in the universe. 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. They wanted nothing to do with space, shut down the last interstellar exploration program and banished the genetically engineered crew into space. 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. This is a preview to a book available on Amazon and many other platforms under the same name. Amazon ISBN: 9798870393414 If you don't want to give Jeff Bezos any money, it is also available on Barnes&Noble, Rakuten Kobo, Apple Books, Everand, Baker&Taylor, Odilo, Vivlio, Borrow Box, Smashwords, Gardners, Fable, OverDrive, cloudLibrary, Palace Marketplace and Hoopla under the ISBN 9798227012234

Harwal, book 3, de noozaster

I'm the crew's problem solver-the one they send on the hardest jobs. To them, I'm fearless, strong, unshakable. But the truth? I'm a coward, hiding secrets I pray no one ever uncovers. Everyone knows I'm terrified of the Zohra, the horned aliens that send chills down my spine. Yet, in a reckless moment, I agree to stay with the crew-near them. But my personal fears don't matter when a bigger threat emerges, one that could destroy everything. The mission takes us to my hometown, to a hidden lab filled with memories I swore I'd never face. And worse? I'm stuck infiltrating it with Harwal-a Zohra who reminds me of the monster that's haunted me for years. Surviving the mission is one thing. Surviving him-and the way he makes me feel-is another.

The Fatal Assignment, de Psycho_in_Luv

In a world where the line between right and wrong is almost impossible to see, a secret government program assigns assassins known as "the Blades." Each Blade is assigned a target, called a "Point," and they have exactly three days to eliminate them. If they fail, the consequences are brutal. Tasked with eliminating their target within a perilous three-day window, the Blades face the dire consequence of failure: either the Point is given the ultimate right to revenge, or the ruthless government steps in to execute the assassin for non-completion. With a thrill-inducing countdown ticking away, every mission becomes a high-stakes battle where only one person can survive. But not everything is as clear-cut as it seems. Some Blades start to question their orders. As the oppressive pressure mounts, ethical dilemmas and surprising connections unfold, forcing assassins to confront their own humanity. Loyalties fracture, secrets unravel. As the clock counts down, the Blades face impossible decisions. Should they blindly follow orders, or risk their own lives to do what's right? In a system designed to break them, they'll have to figure out where they stand before time runs out. In "The Fatal Assignment," A twisted game where survival is the only prize. Chosen from the forgotten corners of society - the desperate, the skilled, the expendable - they were given a target, a weapon, and a countdown clock. Failure meant death. Simple, brutal, and terrifyingly effective.

Captain's Problem | John Price x OC, de Shiklahhh

Rowan Gunn has no home, no roots, only assignments. She was trained to show up when things fall apart, fix the mess, and then vanish before anyone can get too attached. Her past always tags along like an uninvited guest, but she keeps going because that's what she does best. Until Task Force 141. What should've been another mission drags on, tying her to a team she was never meant to stay with and to a Captain she's definitely not supposed to want. Now her past is back, and if it doesn't break her, it might just break everything else. Sniper. Interrogator. Survivor. Certified pain in the ass.

Bound by Honor: Commander & Doctor, de Madam-Butterfly

A military romantic suspense novel Major Cecelia Livingston isn't a soldier-she's a doctor. A damn good one. Trained in trauma, decorated with credentials, and hardened by deployment after deployment. But none of that matters the second she steps off the chopper and onto the dirt of an unofficial base that technically doesn't exist. Because the man waiting for her isn't interested in her rank. Or her reputation. Or her orders from command. Lieutenant Colonel Rhys Callan runs one of the most elite black ops units in the field-covert, brutal, and untouchable. He doesn't lose men. And six months ago, he buried his medic. He's not about to risk another one just because someone higher up decided to assign him a field doctor with no combat scars and too much heart. She's not welcome. He doesn't trust her. And he's made that painfully clear. But the mission clock is ticking. Tensions are rising. And when everything explodes-as it always does-there'll be no room for weakness, and no room for mistakes. She's determined to earn her place. He's determined to make sure she never gets close enough to try. In a war where survival depends on control, discipline, and silence, what happens when the one person you don't want in your world becomes the only one you can't lose?
