The dreamer von benzbak

So many deaths are happening. Some as a result of overwhelming heat waves, floods and raging storms, contaminated air, drought and famines, health risks, rising sea levels causing displacements and conflicts. In fact the list is endless. Most of lands and cities along coastline have already been submerged into the expanding seas and oceans endangering high number of communities. Also many species are getting extinct as the conditions worsen.

Your Wings Will Betray You von Dreamless_Lighthouse

In a distant future where humanity has abandoned Earth in favor of colonizing the entire universe, the dangerous job of piloting ships has been delegated to androids. When one of those pilots goes on a murderous rampage, it's set to be decommissioned by the Magnus-Barlowe corporation. Unfortunately, this AI is self-aware, and the engineer is an idiot. A scientist staging a prison break steals both a ship and the android to be its pilot, hoping to escape the claws of capitalism. An opportunity to do just that is presented when the mismatched crew is presented with a task: rescue the kidnapped daughter of a black-market salesman and be granted safe passage to a planet without a single MBC colony to bother them. Even though making deals with thieves is generally regarded as a bad idea, there doesn't really seem to be a choice for these wayward souls. With a crew made up of human and synthetic criminals, getting one measly kid from a space station full of scientists can't be too hard. Right?

Future Fur-A Hero Rises von SurRetro

Time moves, forever and always. What becomes of anyone over time, how far can we rise or how low is too low. When war starts how many times can one mortal escape death, or has death not taken him for a reason. Will he stand alone for the liberty of millions, or die with people standing at his side. When the dark rises to conquer, when will he fall.

Pax Incorpora von Joebob453

A story of first contact, the dawn of a new era, and the political ramifications which come alongside a a new superpower entering the field of globalism.

Flight 118 von EmaBeresh

© 2015 - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PANDEMIC XX SERIES | BOOK ONE Emilia Boschi had been planning her trip around the world for the past ten years of her life. It was the perfect thing to not only celebrate turning 21, but also the fact that her first novel had made it to the list of top sellers. What she had not planned on was her plane crashing, being kidnapped and auctioned off, finding out their plane was somehow transported to the future, or finding her mate- whatever that was. The only thing she knows is- the impossible seems to now be possible and she is somehow 125 years into the future. ♾♾♾♾ Highest Rankings: • #1 - Science-fantasy • #1 - Post-Apocalyptic • #1 - Mythicalcreatures • #1 - BermudaTriangle • #1 - WattpadWerewolf • #2 - Crash • #4 - Future • #5 - Plane • #12 - Dystopian • #14 - Paranormal • #21 - Romance • #59 - Shifter • #102 - Wolves

Shurak, book 2 von 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 Last Human von Frogiusmaximus

Earth has fallen. Humanity has been defeated. At the hands of the genocidal xeno, humanity has been unmade. The aliens left none alive. They massacred each and every last one that bear the blood of man. Their fleets left a trail of blood and destruction behind them. their armies, numbered in the trillions, were no match for even the strongest weapons of man. And yet, even as the planet-wide city of Earth burned and the entire human population massacred at the trails of the xeno gunfire. There were still survivors. The 3rd fleet, having been late for the final battle, was forced to flee. The already damaged fleet, along with the refugees on board, had engaged their FTL drives and escaped from the xeno's grasped. they had slipped away from total annihilation and arrived somewhere foreign. This is their story, the saga of the last humans.
