RAMBO meets CLIFFHANGER in this relentless action thriller.  When a routine training exercise takes a sinister turn, CIA recruit Kyle Wolf must fight for survival against impossible odds. 
___________________________________________________________________

CIA recruit Kyle Wolf sits in the back of the C-130 transport plane with his future squad-mates.  Kyle must pass one more test before he can officially join the team's black-ops mission against the ruthless drug cartels:  S.E.R.E.  Short for "Survive, Evade, Resist, Escape" S.E.R.E. is an immersive wilderness survival gauntlet that simulates a "behind-enemy-lines" scenario, complete with pursuit by enemy combatants.  

S.E.R.E is tough, but so is Kyle.  He can already taste the bad-guy blood waiting for him on the other side.  So he jumps out of the plane. 

Things go bad, immediately.  A hard landing destroys crucial survival gear, and a lethal revelation ups the stakes.  Training is over, and Kyle must use his intelligence and untested survival skills in order to make it home alive.

The Devil's Colony by matthewp118
15 parts Ongoing
A plane full of the world's most ruthless killers is en route to a secret prison when disaster strikes. The aircraft crashes on an uncharted island, a vast and untamed land ruled by a lost civilization-one that was once English but has long since descended into tribal warfare, ritualistic violence, and a code of survival far older than any law. Stranded and hunted, the criminals-once the predators of society-now find themselves as prey. Cut off from the outside world, they must navigate a brutal new reality where their cunning, savagery, and killer instincts may be the only things keeping them alive. But the island is more than just wild-it has its own history, its own laws, and its own gods. And the tribe that calls it home does not take kindly to invaders. Among them is Kane Storm, a man whose reputation as a killer precedes him. But as the days turn to weeks and the island strips away the illusion of control, the cracks in his ego and past begin to splinter and break. Faced with an enemy unlike any he has ever encountered, Kane must confront not just the dangers of the island, but the ghosts that haunt him. On this island, only the strongest will survive-but survival may cost more than just blood.

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

Star Kissed by LizzyFord
21 parts Complete Mature
When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.
