16 year old Nicholas Briggs lives in the 4900s, in a Society in which talent is seen as a threat. The government has carefully worked to manage the community to ensure that everyone is equal. Having anyone with special abilities in the community would throw off this man-made equilibrium. This is bad news because Nick is not normal but rather extraordinary. He is a gifted student with a brilliant mind. His parents had taught Nick to blend in from a young age. But after a traumatic event opens Nick's eyes to how oppressive society has become, he forms a group of rebels that call themselves the Individuals to wage war against Society and the so-called Equalizers.

Max and the Universe - Book I
THIS IS A DRAFT. I EDIT IT. ITS ONLY MARKED COMPLETE CAUSE NO NEW CHAPTERS. What if there's a universe where this book is real? According to the multiverse theory-yeah, probably. And in that universe, 14-year-old Max Carsley is trying to survive being a teenager and a prince, all while living in a star-spanning civilization full of alien species, political chaos, and secrets that could shake the galaxy. Flying cars? Check. Wormhole portals? Check. Friends who actually make life make sense? Super check. Max's world is beautiful, messy, and more complicated than he ever signed up for. But the deeper he digs, the more he learns that ruling a planet is the least of his problems. This isn't your average Sci-Fi/Fantasy story. It's a cosmic mix of teen drama, space politics, and autism. And yeah, there's swearing. Yeah, it's a draft. But every chapter matters-so don't skip any. (Note to author: rewrite this)Complete
