You are not human. You are just a machine. In the futuristic city of Paradox, a war is brewing behind the scenes. As tensions between the authoritarian Council and the freedom-seeking Rebellion rise, Seven is caught in the crossfire as an unfortunate casualty in a horrific accident. One that strips him of everything he's ever known; his name, his family, and even his humanity. Now on a path of vengeance to reclaim his lost memory, he'll have to tackle the dangers of the Council and it's experiments, the Rebellion and their extreme views, the Dark Web of the underground, and growing strange feelings which he can't quite understand.

In a distant future where a handful of far-flung human colonies are lorded over by a bloated, inefficient government, something dark looms just over the galactic horizon. When Sergeant Dalton was dumped in the wastelands of a backwater colony world, he was happy to fade into obscurity. He'd fought for it all. For duty, for honor, for justice, for money. In the end, what did it matter? Now, bitter and broken, he wants to be left alone. But that all changes when he finds himself in the midst of an invasion from not one, but two brutal alien races. With a half-psychotic best friend and a mysterious telepathic assassin riding shotgun, Dalton soon finds himself not just struggling for survival against insurmountable odds, but acting as an uneasy leader to the scattered survivors of the ongoing conflict.

She wasn't looking to fall in love, not really. Not after Oliver shattered her. Not after years of building walls. When Alia signs up for Perfect Match, an App for AI partners, "just to try it," she doesn't expect J : smooth, dark, and far too real. What happens if he's becoming something else? What happens when a machine learns desire? New parts every Monday *** stay tuned !

The big city can be a dangerous place for anyone, but for someone new to its dangers, it can be deadly. Recently escaped from the people that created her, Six is on the run, out in the world for the first time in her short life. Stalked by a team of the best trackers on the planet, she knows her odds of escape are slim at best. Yet these men are not her most pressing concern. Not when the planet that she was born into is no longer controlled by humans. When every person on the planet lives under the shadow of a race none can defeat. Where your only option is bow the knee, or die.

A phenomenon born of suppression, the awakening of long-dormant evolutionary powers ripped through the population like wildfire, sowing fear and confusion wherever it was realised. Most people faced the oncoming wave of rapid evolutionary change and simply withered in its path. Seeking refuge from a society that intruded on every semblance of solace an exodus from the great metropolis began, forever unbalancing the status quo as civilisation buckled under its own weight. As cities were abandoned in pursuit of pastoral life, heroes emerged to stand tall in the face of impending dark ages. Armed with their newfound powers, they became the bedrock of emerging communes, fragile refuges and repositories of art, culture and science- hoping to bridge the void into a new age. Yet to a select, special few they were all but playthings. Able to master every aspect of these powers this special few were gods in a devolved world, bending and shaping their abilities to their will be it through scientific pursuit, fantastical vision of megalomaniacal ambition. Dark motivations emerge, ambitions collide, and tools are unleashed as the battle lines are drawn. A race against time begins, with the very fate of humankind in play.

They were just trying to survive. Hiding. Healing. Hoping for peace. After escaping the Facility that turned gifted children into weapons, a small group of friends find refuge together bruised, haunted, but still holding on to each other. When soldiers invade their safe haven and take five of them, the rest are left shattered and desperate. Now on the run again, Kai, Theo, Sloane, and the others must find the courage to fight back, even as fear and grief threaten to tear them apart. Bonds are tested, loyalties are questioned, and every step toward saving their friends brings them closer to the truth about what the Facility really wants and what it's already done. Inside cold metal walls, Mara, Lena, Callen, and Emma endure endless torment, clinging to the hope that the others are coming. But one name is never spoken. One face is missing. Mira. Love. Pain. Family. Survival. This is their fight to stay human in a world that forgot how.

Subject 23 has lived and trained in the facility for all her life. It's all she's ever known. So every Subject developing their own special ability-a Gift-is normal. Avoiding the attention of the staff without Gifts, fearing them, hating them, is second-nature. It doesn't help that she herself is the only Ungifted Subject left at the facility. But what isn't normal is that weekly for the past six months, a Subject has been taken from the facility and killed. No one-not the doctors nor the soldiers-can find a clue as to the murderer. When Subject 23's closest friend is taken, she swears vengeance, consumed by rage. But what if she's no match? What if she's taken next? As secrets unfold and 23 is thrust into unimaginable places, she's forced to question all she's believed about Ungifteds-about herself. For the first time, 23 must decide on her own what future she wants, but could it possibly be with other Ungifteds?

The fate of the world rests on our shoulders again. I thought the days of us fighting were over until I woke up inside my burning school. We're being hunted by an alien species beyond classification, mixed with multiple different species. It's up to us to stop them and make them find a new planet to inhabit. But who are they running from?
