The Department of Defense loses a U.S. Supreme Court battle with environmental organizations over the clean up of nuclear waste, left from underground bomb tests on Alaska's Amchitka Island.
            Shortly after the court decision, a massive earthquake at Amchitka, destroys the waste material and kills military contractors who were setting up to remove it. Russia uses the destruction to spread disinformation, claiming the U.S. was staging new, nuclear missiles in the Aleutians, raising international tensions.
            Meanwhile, resource development devotees and conservationists are anxiously waiting, and preparing to battle over the outcome of a remanded part of the Supreme Court case that could shut down most of the fossil fuel extraction industry.
            Operation Wind Storm, the third novel in the Zilla Gillette series finds our intrepid reporter, as she often is, right in the middle of this conflict as she works to report the emerging facts. Gillette tracks the explosive tensions between environmentalists and development proponents over the growing divide between those who want to end resource development in the name of slowing climate change and those who want to continue working in the fossil fuel extraction industry.
            The carbon fuel fans in Alaska are under the leadership of a former Arkansas televangelist shyster, known as Jerry Justice, who enlists the lethal Jamie Lynn Carter, fresh out of prison for the murder of militia leader, General Alex Burke, (Zilla's first assignment in American Home Wrecker).
            With funding from a Russian operative, determined to further disrupt and divide Americans, Justice and Carter whip up a deadly fury in Alaska and across the country. Death threats drive environmental organization leaders into hiding, culminating in chaos and a suicidal plane crash in Anchorage during a single day of deadly clashes. A battle over the future of energy and Democracy in America.

Alexei Alekseyevich Sokolov, Alyosha to his family was having one of those rare moments of peace. He's and as President of Russia, he's always got a lot on his plate, but today was different. For once, he was able to just relax with his wife, Elizaveta Andreevna Nikolaeva (Elia), and their three daughters Anastasia (Alya), Marina (Masha), and Daria (Dasha). They were all enjoying a simple picnic, and for a moment, everything felt... normal. Almost like nothing bad could ever happen. Then, out of nowhere, the sky flickered just a quick, blinding flash that only lasted a couple of seconds. Alyosha froze, eyes scanning the sky, wondering what the heck had just happened. His family looked around, equally confused. It came and went, leaving no trace, but something about it felt wrong. An hour later, the phone rang. The voice on the other end was frantic. Alyosha's stomach dropped as he rushed to the conference room. Being the president, he's used to receiving urgent news, but this was different. His generals didn't waste any time. Their words hit him like a punch to the gut: "Mr. President, Russia... has been transported to another world." At first, it didn't make sense. Russia's land was still the same familiar as ever. The sky, the air, the terrain it all looked like it always had but something was clearly off. The world beyond their borders was completely otherworldly. The landscape felt wrong, like it belonged to another era a realm born of legend and myth. Was this some kind of enchanted realm? The generals didn't have answers. What they did know was that Russia was no longer where it had been. Russia had been transported to a strange, fantastical world, one that defied all explanation. While the sky above them looked the same, everything around them felt like it came out of an epic medieval tale. The air thrummed with a strange energy and the lands beyond their borders held a mysterious, almost arcane quality. Magic? Creatures from legend? Nobody knew for sure.

TROIKA - Countryhumans USSR x America by Arrin99423
12 parts Ongoing Mature
The world is electrified. Everything runs on electricity, from lighting to transport, life support to social media. Oblivion. Then, grid is down. And the world turns dark. And doesn't turn back on. America, the most forward thinking and innovative Western idealist, has answers. Her feminist values push her neck to neck with her male peers. She is one of the first to figure out that the grid will eventually fail, because of the vein of fossil fuel instability, trying to raise the alarm. When the grid does fail, she doesn't even get the satisfaction to say 'I told you so' before she is forced to collaborate in the TROIKA - a trio of biologist, engineer, and geophysicist that must find an immediate and then long-term solution to power the earth. Oh, and she has no choice. USSR, a cynic planner and injured war veteran, has questions. Torn between his eastern roots and western intelligence, he struggles to fit in, curb his aggression, and deal with personal loss. Instead of notifying the world of the impending grid failure, he builds a vast arsenal nuclear plants to power his land against the rules, and when the grid falls, his lights and machines keep running. When finally his arrest occurs, he finds himself in a unique situation, offered a position in the TROIKA - but if he declines, then a life of darkness behind bars awaits him. The goal of the TROIKA is simple: Be quick, be correct, be ready. It doesn't take long for USSR and America to loathe each other on principle, each with their own goals and ideals, clashing on everything from fashion to economics. Can they push away their pride and save the world, maybe even themselves? Or will their bitterness engulf everyone in thick, oily darkness forever? A single choice will ultimately decide their fate.

The itinerary is to travel down the west coast of the Americas and travel the South Pacific to Antarctica. The team plans to visit many known sites of hydrothermal vents using a device called the MAPR, searching vents for a bacterium that seems promising in use as a way to fight carbon dioxide emissions. But one of the two junior scientists on the team soon realizes that secrets are being kept, and makes promises to keep some, while learning that some onboard have entirely different agendas. To complicate matters, this junior scientist's desire for a special friendship grows in intensity, just as mysterious murmurings and strange sightings intensify.

Murder Drones: Specters by GRANDWIZZARD24
20 parts Ongoing Mature
In the year 3049, humanity faced a cataclysmic event known as the "Assimilation," a disaster brought about by the emergence of an entity referred to as the Absolute Solver. It is an extremely advanced, hostile, eldritch intelligence of unknown origin that seeks to consume all life. It also has the power to create singularities that destroy entire planets. The Absolute Solver manifested on Earth when a drone self-rebooted after its termination and improper disposal, possessing its body, and setting its plans in motion by converting all of the drone servants of humanity into disassembly drones who were programmed to hunt and prey upon humans in its goal of exterminating humanity. Meet Corporal J. Anders, though his teammates simply call him Jake. He is a Specter, an elite breed of super soldier designed for one purpose-fighting the unstoppable. Specters were engineered into three specialized divisions: Jaegers, masters of frontline combat; Neuro-Cybernetics, enhanced with cutting-edge cybernetic augmentations; and Recon, experts in stealth, infiltration, and intelligence gathering. Now, humanity has discovered a way to fight back against these relentless machines-a hastily developed but promising program designed to sever the connection between the Murder Drones and their master, the Solver. It's far from complete, an unfinished prototype with the potential to turn the tide of war. But time is running out. Our mission is clear: get the program back to our new bunker world, the last refuge of humanity, where it can be perfected and mass-produced. If we succeed, we might finally have a weapon strong enough to cripple the Murder Drones once and for all. If we fail... there may not be a second chance.

Alexandra Dalton lives in a crumbling post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by The Enforcement and terrorized by the Legacies, power-wielding humans corrupted by their abilities. But when a deadly encounter thrusts her into the heart of a war for humanity's survival, secrets of her father's past begin to surface, forcing her to choose: fight for the light or be consumed by the darkness. In a world where entire cities can burn in minutes, and nobody can truly be trusted, can she protect her mother and sister-and uncover the truth before it's too late? Excerpt: "Dad?" My voice was no more than a whisper. The tendril caught the woman just as she was about to hit the ground, and in one harsh movement, it tugged her into the darkness. The blackness engulfed her screams, swallowing them completely. I could feel my father pulling on my wrist. His grip was so tight it hurt. Everywhere around me, people were dying. Their shrieks echoed in my ears, and I couldn't seem to move. My hands started to shake as I looked toward the dark sky. The silhouettes of bodies in the air, lit eerily by the theme park's neon colors, littered the sky like stars. This wasn't just chaos-it was the end of everything we knew. Chapters released weekly!
