Far-future earth is nothing but a wasteland planet, under the control of a few wealthy families. The Sanatanas are one of those families. In the coastal town of Mar Vista, Don Fausto Santana runs his resource-harvesting enterprise, and he will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

His son, Tulio Santana, hasn't been to earth in ages. He's just arrived via the Jewel-of-Mars colony from his latest tour in the Intergalactic Navy, but when he returns to his childhood home, something just seems wrong. His father is exploiting workers, there are mysterious riots happening all over the city, and there's strange magic in the air. No one seems to be giving him answers, so Tulio must go out and find those answers for himself, no matter the risk.

The Solstice Bandit is a futuristic re-imagining of The Mark of Zorro, full of adventure, magic, and vigilante justice. I wrote this as a school project, so it's a bit shorter, but I hope you enjoy!All Rights Reserved

TIME TESTAMENT ni night-writer2073

William Testament is a mild mannered insurance man until his life becomes a series of unfortunate events, beginning with a horrific car accident. A visit to a meditation retreat changes his whole mindset and a mysterious and beautiful nightclub owner who moonlights as a sorceress seems to understand his mind better than he does. The city they live in is a dynamic place in the near future, but built up from the past, layers of millenia holding up its foundations, and dark energies working deep beneath its basements. The histories lurking there aren't the ones we read about in history books and some of them are infected with the future. The underworld is full of high-tech gangsters, artificial super-intelligences, and witchcraft wielding criminals spreading rumors and illusions. Rumors of a time-machine underground where the past and future collide. William is determined to bring order to this dark chaos growing beneath the city. With the help of Samantha, a young citizen journalist, and a mysterious spiritual teacher somehow linked with his own personal past, he hopes to try and control whatever this unseen thing is before it is too late.

Remainers ni Talesfromsquareone

In the far future, humans have left Earth behind in search of a new home after climate change, war, and destruction have left it uninhabitable. Believing that Earth can one day be restored to its original beauty, the ones that abandoned their natural bodies to help the planet's restoration were called remainers. For hundreds of years, the remainers spent their time slowly helping the Earth return to their former glory. In this land where humans have not walked for centuries, two remainers discover a young boy in cryosleep deep beneath the Earth. How will this child, alone in a world with no other humans, come to live on this strange planet?

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔ ni SmokeAndOranges

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2021 Shortlister. Standalone sequel (Rocks Can Dance) coming in 2023. Comments and critiques are both welcome and appreciated. I write characters from many different backgrounds, with many different experiences. If you share those traits and find that I have misrepresented anything, please let me know! I am feedback-friendly and here to learn :)

He's always been a loner, but as the years go on and the solar system grows ever more dangerous, the time has come that he'll have to either find a crew or perish. When the specter of Matthew's past comes back to haunt him, his new crew will have to come together around their captain. They'll find that he is a rare kind of man, a man with principles. And that might be just what humanity needs.

Shurak, book 2 ni noozaster

My crew and I take the jobs we need to survive in a world overrun by aliens. We fly a stolen ship that once trafficked women-us included. Now, we make our own rules and do whatever it takes to stay free. My latest job? Rehabilitate a Zohra-a towering alien locked away in prison, meant to be tamed into usefulness for his captors. Then I meet him-my job, a mute Zohra. And that's when everything goes sideways. Rescuing him wasn't in the plan, yet now we're on the run, supposedly relying on each other... except I'm the one doing all the work. He's frustrating. Completely useless. A liability, really. And yet, for some ridiculous reason, I just can't leave him behind.

The Edge Of Space ni Cladshaw

The first book of many I plan to write. Join Vontaine and Merca on their journey through the stars to unlock the secrets of the self, and more importantly; the universe! On this journey, they will encounter many friends and foes. Pick up a small crew of devoted accomplices along the way, and bring down the Gladius empire, a multi-planetary crime organization that threatens millions of civilian lives, and the danger of a potential galactic war! Come along for the journey as our heroes fight for peace in their slice of the universe! ------------------------~~~~~~-------------------------- A science fiction adventure that takes place several thousand years in the future, humans have reached the stars, aliens are proven real and much more is to be discovered about life, death and the ancient gods that made us. There's way more to the universe than we ever thought possible... BTW, some of the concepts in this book, haven't been fleshed out 100% so please be patient, I'll probably be editing a lot. Thank you for your understanding. Love you! <3

Illusions and Lies (A Super Smash Brothers fan fiction) ni -pyrotechnicalities

NOTICE: THIS STORY IS AN OLD DRAFT. It is currently in the process of being rewritten. For your sake (and mine) please go check out "ILLUSIONS AND LIES: REWRITE" on my profile. While I'm not stopping you from reading this- especially if you're impatient and want to know how the story goes- please do keep in mind that aspects of this story are unpolished in this book. "we thought we were special. turns out, we were wrong." A group of teenagers who live in a place known only as "The Compound" are led to believe that they are the last people on the planet, aside from their ever-present caretakers. The Caretakers study them and their abilities, never once letting them know of the thriving outside world. In the outside world, everybody has abilities, known as "Gifts." The oppressive government prevents people from using these Gifts properly. A faction of rebels is on the rise, determined to retrieve the children they lost to this cruel government and create a fairer world for all. "and we don't like being wrong..." Modern futuristic AU. This story will contain mature themes and triggering topics, such as somewhat detailed descriptions of blood and violence, suicide, depression, homophobia, child abuse, and death. I do not own the characters, but I do own the plot. Please do not steal the plot or elements of this story.
