You can serve your country or you can serve your government, but you can't do both.

In a future America wracked by climate change, disease, and civil unrest, Martene Fisher has risen from humble beginnings to realize her dream of becoming a military officer and pilot, positions usually reserved for members of the upper class. With an elevated social status and a lifestyle few in her world enjoy, she has everything she's ever wanted and more than most could hope for: a career, a home, people she loves, relative security. But Martene discovers the job is not what it seems and her perfect life begins to crumble when she learns the sinister truth behind the government program she works for-and North America's most profitable export.

SWALLOW is a dark and gritty work of speculative social fiction in the same vein as V for Vendetta and The Handmaid's Tale. Inspired by real-life histories of human experimentation, this timely novel explores some of today's most pressing social and environmental issues, including climate change, pollution, pandemic viruses, ethics in medicine, and criminal and economic justice.All Rights Reserved

28 DAYS STUCK TOGETHER by nawara_romance

Amidst the wild, where survival is a battle fought with every breath, two hearts rediscover that the fiercest struggle is not against nature, but against the feelings they thought they'd left behind. Two years ago, they were engaged, destined for a future together, until betrayal tore them apart. Now, fate has thrust them into the same cockpit on a flight from New York to San Juan, Puerto Rico. But when their plane crashes in the heart of a remote, unforgiving wilderness, survival becomes their only priority. Forced to put their past behind them, Jackson Reed and Isabella Rossi must rely on each other to endure the dangers of the wild. Every step they take tests their limits, both physically and emotionally, as they confront the remnants of a love they thought was long dead. But as old wounds are reopened and new feelings emerge, they find themselves battling more than just the elements. In a world where hope fades with every passing day, the line between love and hate blurs once again. Will they survive the wild-and each other? Or will their past and the perilous present tear them apart for good? *Recommended for readers +18 due to matured themes*

Cut by AnnelieWendeberg

★★★★★ "right up there with Hunger Games" I've reached my expiration date. Not that it matters. We're all going to die. To sixteen-year-old Micka, all words have flavours. Her emotions come with such force that she can't help but carve them into her skin. The night she decides to kill herself, she meets Runner -- a mysterious stranger who makes her question everything she's learned about the end of the world. His message is terrifying: It wasn't some mysterious disease that killed ten billion people. We did this. Humanity sleepwalked into climate disaster and ecocide, just to butcher and rape until blood stained the seas. Micka is sure Runner is lying. Her instincts urge her to stay far away from him. But he makes her an offer she finds hard to resist. There are only two rules she must follow: Kill. Survive. Because the final wars were never meant to end. ________________ Available books in the 1/2986 Series: Book 1: CUT Book 2: FOG Book 3: ICE Book 4: VOW Audio books narrated by Emma Galvin (Divergent Trilogy, Touched, A Shade of Vampire) are available at Audible.

Turing Test by chicavara

In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part series
