[COMPLETED] •Being revised... AGAIN (Progress: Intro-Chap. 3)• "We're going back... Understand? There are more threats out here than we anticipated, and they're all after you-" Lukas' voice erupted into static and chunks... I glared at the man in all black as the light continued to beam and blind me. Without my glasses it was actually painful. And then there was silence.

Deep Orbit: Edge of the Void
High above the skies of the Earth, the glittering orbital colony of Utopia promises paradise to those who seek it. But for Lynx, it's nothing more than a prison with a view. A skilled mercenary haunted by bad decisions while battling a drug dependency she can't quite shake, Lynx is barely holding her life together as it is. Especially among the neon-lit corridors and synthetic smiles of the colony's residents. When she's offered a job to steal some secret documents from a powerful businessman, it seems like just another high-risk payday. However, nothing in Utopia is ever that simple. Before she even realizes it, Lynx is dragged into the brutal world of corporate secrets, plots, and nefarious agendas. All while her mind begins to fracture under the weight of the consequences of her own making. Including a battle against the ghosts of her past that she thought were long buried. For Lynx, this is more than just a simple job, it's a way out. Out of the addiction. Out of the colony. And out of the life that's been slowly killing her for the better part of a decade. However, Utopia doesn't let its people go that easily. And if Lynx wants her freedom, she'll have to fight harder than she ever has before against her enemies, her past, and herself.

They Made Us Monsters
In a world ruled by disease, fear, and government control, survival is no longer a choice-it's a rebellion. After a virus devastates the population, the U.S. government uses the crisis to seize control, turning teenagers into test subjects in brutal experiments meant to create super-soldiers. Those who are captured vanish into labs where their memories are wiped, their bodies are altered, and their identities are erased. Those who escape are left with scars-and the crushing guilt of the ones they couldn't save. Artemis Cross was never supposed to be a leader. But when she's captured and stripped of everything she knows, she becomes Subject 88, forced into a nightmare of pain, injections, and psychological warfare. Her mind begins to fracture-but one memory refuses to die: Z, the boy who once held her together, the boy she can't forget no matter how deep they dig into her brain. Outside the walls, Z is haunted by her absence. He can't eat, sleep, or breathe without seeing her face. As he and a fractured group of survivors drive through a collapsing America-riddled with graffiti, riots, and people fighting to the death over scraps-Z promises he'll find Artemis, even if he has to tear the system down piece by piece. But the deeper they get into the truth, the more twisted it becomes. Friends begin to betray each other. Love starts to fracture. And the world they thought they knew is far more dangerous than they ever imagined. Because this isn't just about surviving the system anymore. It's about burning it to the ground.Complete
