DESCRIPTION:

A blockbuster, near-future science fiction thriller, S.L. Huang's Zero Sum Game introduces a math-genius mercenary who finds herself being manipulated by someone possessing unimaginable power...

Cas Russell is good at math. Scary good. The vector calculus blazing through her head lets her smash through armed men twice her size and dodge every bullet in a gunfight, and she'll take any job for the right price.

As far as Cas knows, she's the only person around with a superpower...until she discovers someone with a power even more dangerous than her own. Someone who can reach directly into people's minds and twist their brains into Moebius strips. Someone intent on becoming the world's puppet master.

Cas should run, like she usually does, but for once she's involved. There's only one problem...
She doesn't know which of her thoughts are her own anymore.

Dreamscape One: Freedom. Fate. Fall. | ORE BOUND FANTASY SERIES by Mozie456
7 parts Ongoing Mature
In a fractured superhuman dystopia, danger awaits. Alyia McCoy never asked to be special, but the government sees her "dormant healing abilities" as something they can exploit. If awakened, her ore could restore life itself... or make her their most dangerous weapon. Chris Wong, a prodigy amongst their generation and Alyia's closest friend, has always been her anchor. Their slow-burning connection simmers beneath the surface. When the regime sets its sights on Alyia, their bond is put to the ultimate test. Kidnapping. Traps. Torture. The government will stop at nothing to claim her. Meanwhile, far beyond their partial earth, across blackholes, Dreamscape's divine hierarchy trembles. A feared yet formidable deity, Ahirman, is struck down by a blade laced with dark matter! One that could end him unless he accepts a mere mortal to be his healer. But crossing worlds and cutting warping voids comes at a cost, and Alyia may be the only one who can pay it. Lines blur and desire turn dark, one question remains: Will Alyia survive long enough to choose her own fate, or will she become the very weapon she fears? Dreamscape is a pulsating blend of slow-burn romance, dark sci-fi fantasy, and smoldering heat, perfect for fans of morally grey characters, high stakes, and worlds where love might just be the most dangerous power of all. Reader discretion is advised. ♡ Welcome to Dreamscape, Book 1 of 4 ♡

[WATTYS 2018 Longlist] For fans of The Atlantis Gene, The Hunger Games, and Red Rising, this high-suspense, action-filled, sci-fi novel continues the story of a teenager from the outback who finds himself fighting for his survival. In a race against time, now he learns it's not only his life but the existence of planet Earth that's at stake. Storm has discovered a shocking secret hidden in plain sight. One the world can never be told about! The tiny sister star to the Sun is their ultimate weapon... so long as it remains a secret. Storm Elliot and corporal Sean Cameron are on a mission to warn Sydney of an unthinkable natural disaster that's about to strike. To survive the earthquakes, tsunamis, and the sun flares the people must travel inland. But, the two men find the city a fortress under the control of brutal government forces. Meanwhile, a nuclear submarine crosses the Pacific with a very special cargo. A bizarre experiment is about to target the rising unrest that is a result of the global economic collapse. Storm and his companions have their work cut out for them... Ancient forces far stronger than any government are playing a multilayered and deadly game. As the Dark Star wreaks havoc on the solar system, the hidden players position themselves to call checkmate on planet Earth... To survive and save those he cares about, Storm must understand the players and the game, but he has very little time left. While this full-length novel is Book II of The Erelong Trilogy, it can also be enjoyed as a standalone. _________ Amazon Reviewers Say: This book has some serious suspense... Great apocalyptic read!! Very descriptive text and suspenseful. So many elements of truth that it is terrifying to think of the possibility. The characters are very endearing. I liked them from the get go and they really got me invested in the story. _________ May Day is Book 2 in The Erelong Trilogy, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone.
