beyond mars moon shaman space

This story is done.

It is a sequel to "...And We Will Have Snow," a continuation of the Culver family history, a story of shamans dealing with modern reality. 

Don't you agree we should have someplace to go if the climate catastrophe gets too intense?

Flying their drones to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, Sedna and Newt join other explorers following the call of the unknown. 

As always, the first explorers are often loners, bent on escaping the frustrations of civilized existence. But as ever they are soon followed by settlers, who also yearn for wide open spaces but do not care for the risks of going it alone.

How does this work out in a world where going it alone at first means flying off in a drone body?  Life is essentially divided into three shift, one for sleeping, one for eating and other essentials, and one for flying a drone powered by a dark matter engine and connected by a link using QAR: quantum augmented reality.

Only later will humans trust their own mortal bodies to the new worlds built for them by drones.Todos los derechos reservados

I am a Wild Rose de LavenderBlack444

"I am a wild rose. I am free. I do not need your permission to grow. To bloom, to be the person I was always meant to be." In Martha's world, an alternative earth, the people follow the rules of 'The Grandmothers'. When you turn twenty five you are shelved, no longer allowed to date and forbidden from marrying. The earth is still recovering from the third world war. Resources are controlled by the Elites and the environment is polluted and many countries are damaged beyond repair. The population that survived the war has been ravaged by chemical weapons. The genders are out of balance. For over sixty years the birth rate of female babies has far outweighed their male counterparts. Women are resigned to the knowledge that if they are not married by the time they are twenty five that they never will be. They have limited choices once they are shelved. Martha chooses to go against the wishes of her family. She will spend the rest of her life taking care of her widowed Father as opposed to working and giving all her money to her younger female cousins to supplement their dowry. Fate and time has a different plan. Martha is drawn into a battle between The 19 and The Wild Roses. Two different factions each wanting to use and twist Martha for their own ambitions. Will Martha be able to bloom and change the world for the better or will she crushed? ....This story is a work in progress, it has themes and ideas that may change over time as the story develops and as I learn what you like and dislike about the novel.

The Outsider (Original Version) de The_Howling_Fox

Welcome to the year 2040, ten years after a huge sickness killed off most of the population of citizens and scared half of the ones left to mars. When the sickness destroyed everything it left the world like it was when it started off, no buildings just open fields, forests, and clean rivers. Now there are few towns and the technology had been saved, letting the humans left with the lifestyle they had before... More less. But there are always the outsiders, like me. The ones that no matter what don't fit in. The ones that screw up in every town they have ever tried to live in. But I really don't care, its just me and my horse, that's all I need. Every town I've traveled to is the same, but once I get go Multoru, its a different story. Mysteries unravel, things from my past are revealed, and hidden things about myself I didn't even know. But can I handle things that I can't even imagine to come? (An original story)

Northern Exposure: The divided de LukenDuPont

Without warning it began! The inevitable, I think it's fair to assume this book is not in my possession. This means I'm most likely dead. Most nights I wrestle the reason I have chosen to explain what happened, the things we did to each other, things no human being should witness. I Wright this simply to enlighten your poor soul and give you more of a chance than I had. A chance to survive what is most likely the brink of human extinction. Times are harder now and as the days go by we are less of our former selves. We have become husks floating around in a lost, desolate world. I look at this place and it still seems so alien to me, as the days roll into the nights I'm still unsure of how we got to this point. If you are reading this, you too are probably North and very much aware of what has happened to our beloved city. I feel a responsibility to inform you that you will most likely share the same fate as I have. I understand you may be wondering what's worse than death, trust me in this place death seems like a paradise compared. I do not know why I still feel so obligated to write this. To be honest most nights I think its just an escape from the madness, like a natural sedative it's the only way I can fall asleep in this hell. However I do need to clear my conscious and pay dividend for my demons. I need you to know what happened to me; I need you to know what we have become and what we are capable of. I need you to know why we have chosen to kill each other, why the smell of human flesh lingers in the air like slow roast pork on a Sunday afternoon. Why bodies litter our streets. Why things that seemed to be so impossible happen in front of our very own eyes. Why conformity i this place is the unreal ideas people live their lives by and why I was included into this group of youthful abominations. All of this might be irrelevant compared to what I am about to tell you.

Abhuman: Revelation (The Covenant - Book 1) de AuthorHughLong

If you enjoyed the story, please consider leaving an Amazon review. goo.gl/TwvHn9 ------------------------------------------------------------------ In the Covenant, an insidious theocracy, genetic mutation carries a death sentence. Conform or die. It seems to be a perfect, harmonious society-but is it? When sixteen-year-old Cheska Bellamy's mutation is exposed, she's forced to flee her starship to the partly-terraformed planet below. As she makes her way across a devastated landscape, she discovers that there had been a race of sentient creatures with a flourishing civilization. All that remain are battered ruins and a handful of Indigens who'd moved underground after Cheska's people began terraforming their planet. When she connects with the human resistance on the planet, she learns that her people on the starship have been secretly enslaved by an alien race; the most terrifying part (for her) is that she might be the key to her people's freedom. What if she doesn't want to be that key? Doesn't she get to decide her own future? Her people talk of self-determination, but Cheska learns one thing for sure: free will may be an illusion, but evil is very real.

The Catharsis de CodyKnox

When most people say they want to 'get away from it all', they mean they want to go to a tropical island, or hike up into the woods. But let's say that isn't enough for you. You want to get as far as possible from this place we call 'The Earth'. This is exactly what 35 people decided that they would do, when they heard of The Catharsis. A luxury cruise to the moon, delivered via spaceship. But these things seldom go to plan, and the past has a way of catching up. This is a tale about people from all different walks of life. They will all be there, aboard The Catharsis. Learn about everything they have experienced, and all that they will experience.

The Obelus de leavemealone623

In 2037, in the middle of nowhere, lies a newly built testing lab, owned by the government. The government is unfortunately corrupted, and has led the whole country into disaster.

They are now capturing people with the new blood type, blood type AE positive. You just happen to be one of those people with the rare blood and you drive in an attempt to escape the clutches of the Obelus. Unfortunately, your attempt has failed, and you are now trapped in a cell waiting for testing. You are their newest subject, subject number 43.

Our Reluctant Caretaker de Kay_Gilbert

"We don't have a Caretaker. We have a Creationeer. And we love her." ~Humanity. We think we're from here, but are we really? What happened to us before then, and who was involved? Kit - a young B-Tier Creationeer - didn't want this job. She's not trained to be an Intelligent Species Caretaker, and yet she's forced to care for the last remnants of a damaged and traumatized humanity by an old, malicious evil. After carrying us around in a modified to-go habitat bubble for 18K years, Kit wants a vacation, but is hesitant to leave us alone on our new planet she built; Earth. She confides in Pan - an A-Tier Caretaker and Kit's best friend and roommate. She reveals the full story of how she came to be in possession of us and why she can't hand us over to a licensed Caretaker. Pan reveals the tragic truth of the first 10 years of our existence before Kit found us. The new knowledge Ignites a fire in both. So the two young Ethereals come up with another plan that involves the three grad school roommates, Pan, Sid, and Kit, taking us on a long road trip to the Andromeda galaxy for some good old fashioned revenge- justice. And also Screw Jim. (warning: Contains strong language.) Please comment and vote. :) I'd really appreciate it. ^_^ (This idea was born from the second I saw a photo of Earth from orbit showing the glow of our atmosphere and thought, "Haha! We live on a bubble planet." :) ) NOTE: They're not gods. This is not theology. They don't have all the answers, they're not all powerful, and they can't do everything. They're closest equivalent in a fandom would be like lesser cousins to the Q. In this AU, Humanity knows about Kit. They don't deify her. To them, Kit's presence is normal, tangible, and real. She's always been there.
