Amy Jones wants a lot of things. Chief among them: make the archaeological discovery of the century, ensure her brother's indiscretions disappear, and destroy her father and the Commission for which he stands.

But she'd settle on the average day for a homemade chocolate muffin.

Amy's spent the last decade skulking around the galaxy under false identities, chasing rumors of Empire-era ruins. The discovery of an intact research vessel hidden behind an asteroid promises to make her career and gain recognition for something other than being the daughter of the Secretary of Internal Affairs.

But the excitement of recovering the ERV Waratah soon turns to horror. Amy and the crew of the salvage vessel she hired discover that the ship's entire crew is dead, killed by the accidental release of one of the diseases being studied on board. The Waratah is a tomb ship, floating through space.

Worse, the ship was sealed under quarantine procedures over two hundred years earlier, preventing the dead from decomposing-except someone unsealed the ship weeks before Amy's team arrived. And the disease that killed the crew has gone missing.

When people on outlying planets start coming down sick, Amy realizes someone deliberately released an extinct disease to eradicate undesirable populations. And she's pretty sure she knows who.All Rights Reserved

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published! by vblawnola

It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.

The Carriers by JarrynPaige

Completed! #1 in government conspiracy as of 10/19/18 #6 in outbreak as of 10/10/18 #7 in corruption as of 8/12/18 #62 in apocalypse as of 8/7/18 #11 in government as of 8/9/18 The year is 2213. Everyone was evacuated from the home planet over 150 years ago. Our planet was dying, it was only a matter of time before our race was wiped out. We now live on a synthetic planet designed and built by our ancestors who came together from all parts of the globe to devise a plan to save us. We have lived peacefully for over a century.. Until now. Our lives were threatened when a mysterious and deadly virus broke out, killing entire communities at a time. The council says that they have a plan; they said that in order to prevent the death of more innocent people they will test every man, woman, and child for signs of the virus. Any person found to have been infected will be quarantined, the ones who die will be given a proper burial while the ones who survive are deemed carriers and are to be sent to the home planet to prevent further outbreak. I was prepared for the people I know and some I love being taken away for the greater good, but I never would have expected that among the list of people being taken from my community, that I would be one of them.. I survived the quarantine. Now for the survival of my planet I, and the other Carriers must be sent to the home planet. I'm going back to Earth. (This is not based on The 100 but there are similarities.) (Some violent themes, but other than that is entirely clean.) Please comment if you have any questions or concerns. This is a first draft so it is definitely not perfect yet.. Thank you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Where'd you learn to do that?" I asked about the intricate knots that he had tied so swiftly. He paused. "Jail." I glared at him in shock at what had just come out of his mouth. "Seriously?" His straight face broke into a grin. "No. Boy Scouts."

Outbreak: The Extinction Chronicles by jhepong24

"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." - Charles Darwin Amidst the nuclear war, popularly known as World War III, mankind had also been struck with a weaponized viral disease, decimating what's left of the human population. With his memory lost under the perilous fallout, Gabriel was saved by two other survivors. And together, they strived in a modified nuclear shelter away from the heavily infested cities. They thought they were living a safe and well-sustained life. Until one day, they found out the most shocking discovery, the truth that pushed Gabriel in a heart-stopping journey of his life. He would travel hundreds of miles of the post-apocalyptic world lurking with unknown dangers, including the hordes of infected and bandits alike. He would then come across other survivors, struggling to preserve their lives and ideals. However, as pieces of his memory came rolling back, conflicts of priorities defied even the most basic rules of their survival. Will Gabriel, and the people he have come to cherish, outlive the apocalypse? Or will they perish, and go through... extinction?

A Different Virus - Laura's Story by CrystalScherer

This is a second view point from my original story - A Different Virus - Heartfire. I highly advise reading the original book first. Intro: Laura was a happy child without a care in the world. She loved her parents and life was perfect. Nothing seemed like it could go wrong. People started talking about a bad flu that was spreading and sending some into a coma. Her parents grew worried and stocked the house in case of a pandemic. Months later another virus appeared. Her family was shocked when the news people started reporting that zombies were actually real and not just part of a horror movie. They were appearing in every country. Her parents reassured her that none of the zombie sightings had been anywhere close to them. Her life is turned upside down when her father ends up in hospital with the bad flu and mother exiles her upstairs for her safety. She was never allowed downstairs again. Weeks pass and the streets become deserted with the exception of the red eyed zombies that wandered around. One night she notices a swiftly moving figure with glowing blue eyes in the street below. Should she call out or remain silent? Is this fleeting shadow something that can help her or could this mysterious figure be even more dangerous than the zombies themselves? ---------------------- Ranked #1 Apr 10, 2018 (A huge thank you to all who read and voted!)

But when she's drafted as one of the four to go and receive the serum, Lizzy has no choice but to accept.
