Book One of Destiny's Exodus (first third as sample)

Naked, with a dead body at his feet and no recollection as to how it got there, Artim is in a world of trouble. Already blacklisted by the establishment thanks to his relationship with the beautiful, rebellious Katelle, Artim's nemesis, Milden, is just dying for an excuse to get rid of him. 

Ninety-eight years into its thousand year journey, the generation ship Destiny is home to an increasingly repressive system. From his privileged position within that system, Milden hungrily, lustfully watches Katelle as the broken, twisted AI under his command watches all that occurs on board.  

Through the dangerously subversive recollections of an original crew member, Artim and Katelle begin to discover that everything the system has ever taught them is a lie; and worse, that they in turn have been passing these lies on to their students as truths. 

With their existence thrown into chaos by what they've learned, the two teachers plot desperately to find a way to take on the might of the propaganda machine controlling them; but imprisoned on the ship itself, there's no escape from the system, and absolutely no room for retreat. Can a spark of rebellion ever grow? Or will the system's spies extinguish even the smallest flame before it can ever take hold?

Book One of Destiny's Exodus takes readers on an epic journey through not only space, but also how history can be a tool for manipulation and control.

Through the Wormhole by CroodsGirl

|ACT II OF THROUGH THE WORMHOLE| |WILL RETURN TO AFTER I FINISH CLAXTON| Daniel Matton wasn't ready for an adventure, not until 3023 sent him into space on a journey to prehistoric times. The prehistoric animals test his patience, but Dan must endure all the pain and suffering to return home safely. *** Seventeen-year-old Daniel Matton, still grieving after his mother's death five years ago, is given the adventure of a lifetime when he's selected as the Star of 3023's PPMC Project for a journey through a black hole, wormhole, and white hole to prehistoric times. Now, does Dan want to be the Star? Heck no, but he has loved paleontology ever since a bittersweet memory with his mom twelve years earlier. Programmed to resemble Dan's mother's personality, PPMC vows to keep him safe on his journey, but it's difficult when the stubborn teen constantly gets in trouble, not just with himself but also with prehistoric anomalies: volcanic eruptions, eight-foot-long millipedes, terrifying saber-toothed cats, and, above all, disaster. Now nearly trapped in time, Dan and PPMC must work together to escape the geologic time scale before Dan's love for paleontology and the mighty Quetzalcoatlus prevent him from learning how to truly trust PPMC and "let go" of the burden that's weighed him down for five years. A teen, a starship, and Becca... Have you ever wanted to see where life first began? *** *Moral: Accept where you belong.*

Birthright (The Technomage Archive, Book 1) - Complete Novel by bjkeeton

Damien Vennar used to be a god. As a technomage, Damien had the power to create entire universes. Then, five hundred years ago, he gave it all up. He suspended the nanotechnology in his bloodstream and began to age--and eventually die--like anyone else. For centuries, Damien has lived among those who once worshiped him, his real identity fading into myth and legend. Hundreds of years later, when Ceril Bain finds Damien's old sword buried in his grandfather's garden, he is put on the fast-track to follow in Vennar's footsteps. Over the next six years, Ceril trains as a technomage aboard the Inkwell Sigil, a ship with the ability to travel between dimensions. Just as Ceril is preparing to undergo his Rites and finish his training, the Inkwell Sigil loses power. Stranded in space with no way back home, Ceril and four of his classmates are given their final assignment: go into uncharted territory, find a way back home, and bring back the one person who can fix the ship--Damien Vennar himself. While away, Ceril and his team find themselves in a predicament when they confuse an attempt at first contact with an attack and kill two of the world's winged inhabitants. They are shortly captured and imprisoned, and the only thing keeping them alive is their angel-like captors' belief they may be the subjects of an ancient prophecy about a group of magic-wielding messiahs. But that's impossible. Isn't it?

The Foreigner & The Pessimist (malexmale) by OliveWalden

***Book 1 of the Soulmates Series*** In the middle of an intergalactic war for freedom and rights, there exists a distant technologically militant planet called Gav'yx, where next to becoming a soldier, finding your soulmate is everything. So much, that the first thing all Gav'yxians see upon their birth, is the image of their future soulmate on the exact day and in the exact place they're destined to meet them. However, on a futuristic earth - now called Uniterra - the idea of finding one's soulmate is a belief held by very few. Especially when it comes to seventeen-year-old Lane Nishimura, a pessimistic student in the extremely competitive space training program at Unity High, struggling with keeping the secrets of his very mysterious and dark past, his mental health, self-esteem, and slew of trust issues caused by years of failed friendships, bullying, and sub-par romances that's left him all but giving up on the idea of there ever being someone out there destined for him. And then along comes Zuuro; a lovestruck alien from the planet Gav'yx, who's long dreamed of the day he'd finally meet Lane, and of getting what would surely be his happily ever after. However, as he soon discovers, finding romance with Lane is not as easy as he assumed. Because not only does Lane not know he and Zuuro are destined to be together, but due to almost losing everything in his last breakup, and to what he's sure is just another trick being played on him by his half-brother, Darin, he's extremely reluctant to open himself up and risk getting close to anyone again. Will Lane allow love to prevail, or will his mistrust and the secrets of his past doom them before it's even had a chance? Find out, in The Foreigner & The Pessimist, the first installment in the all new Soulmates series.

The Eerie that lurks in shadows needs a boy to his his antithesis. And the Voice needs a boy to wake him up from his nightmare. All in hopes that she will love them. But there is but a humor in this game, a double-edged sword if one will. Each Heir believes they can win and then walk away, and each chooses their boy to fix their broken parts. But it all so amused when the Divines choose wrong. Well, all except one.

This story will show you how in one minute destiny can be so kind and how next moment destiny can be so cruel. This story is about how a happy family who lost their happiness in just few minutes. How in a few minutes, they lost their happiness and peace. And also if they will find their happiness in future or not? You will find lots of grammatical errors in this book and may be in this note too.
