The Last Human Olympics
THE LAST HUMAN In a near-future where enhancement divides humanity into the modified and the obsolete, natural athlete Jayson Rodriguez makes an impossible choice: enter the Singapore Centennial Ultra, the world's most brutal race designed to prove enhanced superiority. Starting dead last among 200 competitors worth millions in modifications, Jayson carries only his father's worn shoes and the stubborn belief that human is still enough. But the race becomes something neither side expected. As enhancement systems fail in Singapore's manufactured hell-jungles, deserts, mountains that break million-dollar legs-Jayson discovers that forward means nothing if you run alone. Each time he stops to help a fallen competitor, he loses places but gains something harder to measure: proof that evolution isn't about leaving others behind.Complete

Scars Of 2039
It's the year 2060. The last world war was fought not with soldiers, but with code, machines, and stolen time. Democracy is dead. Earth is dying. And those who survived rule with knowledge they should've destroyed. Now, survival depends on power-and power depends on what you find first. This is a story of war beyond borders. War beyond time. War beyond galaxies. We used to fear nuclear bombs. Now we fear the collapse of space itself. We thought we were building the future. We didn't realise we were rewriting it. This isn't just a story. This is our future.Complete
WARLORDS OF ANDROMEDA
Three hundred years after Earth’s sentient internet takes the planet into Singularity—and out of spacetime—to avoid a sun going supernova ahead of schedule, the fleeing Martian colonists have found another kind of liberation. Using space warping ships they spread their seed across Andromeda. But if Frakas, the genius bioengineer who created a new Cambrian explosion of humanoid life, and the first of the hundred year men, clones designed to uplift souls, were enough to see them through the first leg of their journey, they are not around to be leaned on anymore. So begins the second trilogy of The Hundred Year Men saga, WARLORDS OF ANDROMEDA, and the reign of Dargan, the second clone. But will the ingenious tactics of Dargan’s warlords be enough to unseat the powers threatening the empire from within as well as from without? Or will these highly evolved humanoid species merely use their genetic and cybernetic enhancements to make better war on a scale never before imagined, using imaginative methods only such technological breakthroughs—not to mention sprawling space armadas—could accommodate? --------------------------- note: the three separate trilogies comprising the Hundred Year Men saga do not have to be read in order.Complete
Biopod Serie #0: Rust & Stardust
"After everything, you're... one of the few things that actually feels real." In 2030, the sky cracked open. By 2040, Earth belongs to the Biopods. In the present, 2049, humanity has mostly given up, trying to survive through this broken world. They arrived as silent meteorites, egg-shaped monoliths that burrowed into the Earth. At first, humanity thought they were dormant. But they weren't. Each Biopod is a living factory: it devours biological matter-humans, animals, forests-and reconfigures it into cold, sentient machines. The machines they make vary, adapting to terrain, resistance, and resource availability. They don't just kill. They convert. Matthew Riots, gunner from the Frontline, no longer wishing to fight, left the Frontline for Zeta. There he reunited with his sister, living out their quiet lives. But no peace truly exists in a world full of Biopods. Zeta fell, he and his sister completely lost contact. Promising to keep surviving no matter what, Matthew journeyed to the promised land of Athena. The story of Rust And Stardust gives us insights on what little humanity is left in the apocalypse. A story focusing on the theme of family, love and human's connection. In a broken world where survival is a luxury, will our main character finally find peace and happiness again?Complete
shiver (FEATURED) | ✓
**CURRENTLY A FEATURED STORY** highest ranking: #11 in Science fiction ❝true happiness is only achieved without freedom. There is a girl who wakes to a world that she was supposed to protect. Instead, she fights it. There is a man who is cursed with the ability to dream. A glass city is their cage, a city filled to the brim with unanimity and order, a paradise on an earth laid to waste by an artificial snowstorm. Sunlight filters through the glass buildings and through glass walls, pierces glass floors. It illuminates the city square when it is strongest at noon, surrounded by a huddled mass of citizens, all as perfect as the city they inhabit. And they all think: everything is as it should be. And it is. Or, it was. -- long live perfection.❞ (c)sarahgaier2016 #diverselit | #LoveEqualsLove | #helpfightcliches | #freethelgbtq | #badassreads check out my Science Fiction novella, Sector-33, here! https://www.wattpad.com/story/62174094-sector-33Complete
