adventure aliens sciencefiction space thriller

Transitory takes place on a strange and distant moon, where visitors are given the opportunity of exploring their past as physical re-creations.

When a human named Nate Maddox arrives for a long overdue vacation, he finds out first hand just how real these experiences are. He is shown moments of his history that he thought he'd forgotten many years ago, such as playing in the park as a small boy, or times working for his father aboard his space mining ship.

Exciting as that may be for Nate, his visit is going to be anything but relaxing. When a mysterious intruder arrives with murderous intent and sets about carrying out his plan, Nate is caught well and truly in the middle.

Can he find out who this person is before another attempt is made? Or will the last memory he creates be that of his own death? Only after investigating his past with the help of his alien guide, will he finally discover the truth.

[New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: Most of the population is dead, some have turned into vicious, crazed creatures who want nothing more than to eat you, and a small percentage are left to try to survive. Nothing is the way it was. With not much more than a pistol and a vague idea of what she's doing, Claire Harrington ventures out into this new, unforgiving world with only one real goal: to keep her younger sister safe. The odds are against her, until she runs into Parker and finds herself reluctantly accepting his offer to help. Trust is a fragile thing. Humanity is a construct. Love is a weakness.

But when the president announces that they have found a serum that could repel the infection, Lizzy knows better than to hope. She wants nothing to do with the virus. But when she's drafted as one of the four to go and receive the serum, Lizzy has no choice but to accept.

The Extraterrestrial Truth And The Girl From Seat 2B [ONC 2022] by theghostofarbyrouse

Vic thinks she has it all figured out. She's on track to graduate in a week and she is determined to have a great time with her friends (and some girl from her calculus class) until graduation day, when they'll all grow up a little bit and move on from the trap that is Cape Hux. And then Scotty gets abducted by aliens. After searching the stars and the internet for months, Vic thinks she has a clue about how to get him back. The issue is, more and more people are going missing around Cape Hux, including her friend Connor-- and only she knows the truth of how to stop it. With the help of the Girl from Seat 2B (who she still does not know the name of) and Leo (a pompous jackass of a young man), Vic sets out on a bit of a romp through the surrounding area, looking for clues, aliens, and, as luck would have it, a name for what's going on between herself and the Girl from Seat 2B.

zombie apocalypse | the fallen (book One) [REWRITING] by optic_poison

Firstly, A trigger warning for mental health/ self inflicted wounds when reading. you're only 18 years old. your name is zoe. you always had a love for the apocalypse but didn't think it would truly happen. and you slowly learn that nobody is who they say they are. Nobody is to be trusted. Things are gonna fall apart, and nobody can save us now. This book is being rewritten again and hopefully is better than the first and second time it was published. It's kind of cringe most of the way. Wrote it when i was like 13-14 years old or something and tried rewriting when I was about 16. Didn't work. Trying to rewrite it again at 20 but i don't think the first two books are saveable. Book three so far however is going well(i believe anyway). The second book has also been rewritten and will be rewritten again. now I'm working on finishing book three. All characters are mine but ellis is not I will be changing a lot of character names again in this rewriting process in all books, ellis being the biggest.

Europa by Runtxo

' "What was that sound!!" Mr Katz shouts, then stops dead as he sees the panel of light. "What?" he whispers, then walks towards it and stares at it. "I don't know what happened sir!!" Farren shouts, wiping her tears. "We pulled the levers and the whole room seemed to explode!" "This.. this is amazing!" Mr Katz whispers, walking closer to the light. "Children, you've made a groundbreaking discovery! I can't say for certain what it is, but we need to call someone right away!" He turns around and faces us. "Your going to go down in history kids! I can't believe you actually-" Before he can finish his sentence six thick orange arms reach out of the hole and grab him at a sickening speed. He doesn't even have time to blink before the arms squeeze and his whole body explodes. Guts and blood shower the room and we all scream in horror. We run towards the door but all of a sudden the floor seemingly gives way into a bright blue nothingness and the room shimmers away around us. We fall. ' Europa follows a group of teenagers/aspiring scientists who accidentally open a portal to another world, becoming trapped there. They must race against time to make it home, save themselves and their planet before the natural elements or horrifying other worldly creatures take them out.
