It is the year 2034. A devastating war has ravaged America. The government has collapsed and Ex-Navy Seal, John Hemingway and his twenty four year-old daughter, Claire struggle to survive under the tyranny of a brutal regime, the Glory Revolution Alliance. Driven by near starvation and the allure of freedom, they flee across the post-apocalyptic wasteland of fallen America with the GRA's top henchman, a sociopath named Khalif Miles nipping at their hills. 

The journey is fraught with snares and unpredictabilities at every turn. Together, the father and daughter duo endure the harsh elements of nature, forage off a barren land, and fight off rapists, thieves, and wild animals, all while trying to put the fragments of their broken relationship back together. 

The stakes are raised when John and Claire are taken captive by the GRA's arch enemy, the Horsemen of Justice, and force John, an Ex-Navy Seal into a suicide mission that could spark a revolution to take back the country. But when Claire escapes, she gets caught in the middle of Miles and the Horsemen Guerrilla warfare style fighting. She must rely on the the training her deceased mother, Sasha gave her to survive against them both and reunite with her father.All Rights Reserved

Outcasts by KatJWarren

Cassidy lives like most other under 21s - she follows the law. She knows that if she doesn't, she risks being taken away. Rebellious behaviour cannot be tolerated under any circumstances, especially with her parents watching her every move. The rules have been in place for a long time - the Democrats have beaten the Republicans in the New Elections for the past 60 years, with their names being the only recognisable aspects of their parties when comparing to the past. Anyone that chooses not to follow the rules can drop out and become what's known as an Outcast, but then you risk being imprisoned. While America seems to be running perfectly under these laws, a rebellion is stirring among the professionals. With secrets and lies in government and families alike to change the future of America forever, Cassidy finds herself caught up in the middle of the all out war that is about to break out. What she thought she knew about her world is about to change forever, bringing everyone she knows down with her. DISCLAIMER 2016/2017: This book is a few years old at this point, and due to the political uproar in American in 2016 I feel the need to make this abundantly clear. Outcasts takes place in a dystopian world in an undetermined year in the future, and the political parties depicted in this story - the Republicans and the Democrats - are in no way, shape or form a commentary on their real-life counterparts. I had very little knowledge of American politics when I wrote this story, and if I could go back and change their names I would. Throughout the story you will read of absurd flaws in both party agendas, and in no way did I ever intend to shame or defame the real life Republican and Democratic parties of America. See them as purely fictitious - that's what they are, after all.

Unexpected Calling by ImmaJesusfreak

What comes to mind when you see the word, "nightmare"? Do you think of all your teeth falling out in front of your bathroom mirror? Or maybe your pants falling down in the middle of your math class? That would be as normal as a nightmare could possibly get. But at least you always wake up, right? Well, what if, perhaps, you wake up, and your nightmare isn't a nightmare...But reality? Jay Falley is a not-so-normal seventeen year old girl. She earned three engineering scholarships and won countless technology competitions. She has several colleges after her talent and on top of all that, she has school, babysitting, and church meets every Sunday and Wednesday night. Jeremy Henryson is a not-so-normal eighteen year old guy. He mysteriously lost his parents after they had gone on a mission when he was only fifteen. He'd been earning college credits since he was fourteen and was training to be a spy as well. He was adopted by a normal couple, who couldn't have kids of their own, at fifteen and was a spy by sixteen. How could their lives get any more bizarre? How about adding marriage, bombings, and a secret nuclear organization who has their mind set on destroying America and taking over the world? Scary.

Her Pack, having escaped an attempt to destroy them and having suffered some terrible loss in the process, have abandoned their home that they've owned for generations and are following her Alpha to a an Island in Australia, with new werewolves, new wildlife, new slang, and isolation. Beautiful safe isolation. Julia hopes this means it's the end of stress, fights or conflict for her and her babies. Hopes this will be a fun adventure. That nothing will go wrong and that from now on, the pregnancy, the werewolf thing and the babies will be all easy sailing. Right? Safe territory, safe Pack, hospital with drugs within plane or boat ride, and she's hooked up with a good looking guy who she adores. That's all a girl wants, right? So why does she feel so uneasy and uncertain about all of this?

The Debt Collectors War by TessMackenzie

Ellie is a soldier in a world without governments. A generation ago, a series of financial crises caused most of the world’s governments to collapse, and left many of the people in those countries in terrible personal debt. Since then, the worst debtor nations have been under military occupation by the troops of the debt recovery corporations, and the worst debtor of all is Měi-guó, the old United States. Ellie is serving in the Afghan Police Action when she receives bad news from home. She is told the daughter she hasn’t seen in years is dead. She flies home from war, upset, to do what needs to be done, but once there she finds out all is not as it seems. Ellie’s daughter is alive and unhurt. She is being held by of one of the many debt-recovery corporations. Held, for leverage, to make Ellie do the corporation a favour. Ellie’s daughter will be returned unharmed if Ellie does as they wish. The son of a company director is lost somewhere in the wilderness of post-debt-restructuring America, and hasn't been seen for three days. The company wants Ellie to go and find the kid, and Ellie doesn't know if she can. The one rule she's stuck to all her working life is to never to go to America, but now she might have to. She will have to, if she wants to save the daughter she hasn't seen in years. This is fairly dark and gritty near-future dystopian SF. ----- Debt Collectors War is now on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QZG1RHI/ Also on iTunes and B&N and other places. Just if that's easier to read that way! But please don't feel obliged or anything, and thank you for looking -----

Meet 18 year old Claire Miles. Agent Miles if you will. Her parents were taken by a country's government just south of Finland.

This is what you've been training for! If you ever want to see your parents again you must join them. There is much more training to be done than I could ever teach you. Go with them! Fear them not." But when she's taken hostage will everything she's ever worked for go down the drain? Will she ever find her parents? Will they ever be a normal family again?

Inevitable Ascension by vkmcallister

***Completed*** If you knew your world would soon be torched to carbon, would you fight to save it? ...Or light a match of your own? Violina, a girl polarized by love and loathing, finds herself thrown into a post-apocalyptic world with mankind on the brink of extinction. Discovering the means to travel back in time, she teams up with the ever-optimistic, pun-loving Lux and sets out to prevent the apocalypse from ever happening in the first place. But as her crusade advances, she becomes increasingly disturbed by humanity's apparent *lack* of humanity and comes to a frightening realization: To build a new world, she must first tear the old one down. Inevitable Ascension-The twisted jigsaw puzzle of a story with equal parts rapid-fire action, humor and charm. It's got a host of twists that will literally make your brain explode! Actually not literally, you know, because otherwise that would be really gross. Who is V.K. McAllister? We're a husband/wife duo (Andrew and Sasha McAllister) with a unique approach to writing. We work simultaneously and in secret before combining what we come up with, resulting in dramatic and unexpected twists that surprise even us! Crazy? Yes, yes it is, but it's surprisingly fun and effective. :) We pretty much live for the Inevitable Ascension series and did just about everything ourselves-the writing, the editing, the publishing, the art (well, Andrew did the art, but Sasha provided invaluable consulting when it came to eyebrows), the audio book, the trailer-everything. We're basically a one-man band, except with two people... and no music... so perhaps not the best metaphor, but we're confident you get what we mean.

Forever Fighting | ✔️ | [previously Espionage: double-cross] by WinterWillow901

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 :)
