#1 rule of detectives: Don't fall in love with a suspect

Amid civil unrest and unusual dust storms, twenty volunteer aid workers have disappeared in the slums of a mining colony on the planet of Simoom, including the long lost lover of Security Officer Vestra Gwir. Torn by guilt and heartbreak, Vestra vows to find the truth and bring the culprits to justice. But her world is upended and her beliefs undone when she's put in charge of interrogating terrorist suspect Ann Harmony. 

Ann's fragile appearance belies a steely interior. Day after day she provides only cryptic answers, and warnings about a red dust that seems to have a mind of its own. In a battle of wills, Vestra has met her match in Ann, and little by little as Ann tells her story, Vestra begins to realize guilt and innocence is not easy to define.

Inextricably entangled now, Vestra must unravel the truth behind the disappearances not only to avenge her old love, but to save her new love. If only the dust would stop swirling.Hak Cipta Terpelihara

❖ 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.

The Fractured City oleh ansleemi

The city never sleeps. Its veins are steel, its breath recycled, its heartbeat a hum beneath the polished floors. Every corridor, every vent, every flickering screen is watched. Every citizen is measured. Every choice recorded. Lyra Vale knows this. She has always known. And yet, nothing prepared her for the day the city shifted beneath her feet. The day the Test began. The day she learned that her life-and the life of everyone she loves-was not hers to hold, but theirs to calculate. She wakes before the chime, before the turbines thrumming through the sectors. Her sleep is fractured, haunted by light and sound, by voices she shouldn't hear and images she shouldn't see. But even in her dreams, she knows the truth: in this city, potential defines worth, and defiance defines death. Outside, the city hums. Surveillance drones drift silently, lights glinting on steel surfaces. Screens flicker with promises, threats, propaganda: Obedience ensures safety. Defiance ensures extinction. Lyra's heart beats faster. She knows the system, its calculations, its rules-and she knows its one flaw: humans. Humans do not always follow patterns. Humans do not always obey. She does not yet know that she is about to become the anomaly the city cannot process, the variable the Architect cannot contain. That the Test is only the beginning. That the system is watching, and it has begun to speak. And when it does, Lyra will learn that survival is more than following rules-it is learning to fight a machine designed to predict every thought, every fear, every heartbeat. Because in Sector Nine, everything is measured. Except the human heart.

Brianna Acero and the Second One's Return oleh RaquelS03

One hundred years ago, war threatened the existence of humanity. One man's actions might bring it back. During WWV, battles weren't won with bombs, but with science. Specifically, with DNA. Now, a person's place in society is determined by their genetic code. If your Gift is as mundane as knowing what time it is without needing a watch, you're probably a Norm, but if it's so extraordinary that it's considered a danger to the public, congratulations, you're an Elite. Seventeen-year-old Brianna Acero doesn't fall into either category. She is the only girl in the world who has no Gift at all. When life throws her a curveball and Brianna finds herself living among the Elites, she begins to uncover layers upon layers of secrets about her own past, but there is one secret that was not meant to be unlocked. Now, there is no way of putting it back in its cage. The Second One is back, and this time he won't be so forgiving. His actions could bring about a new world war, and the end of Gifted society along with it. Only Brianna is unique enough to stop him, but will she rise to the challenge? Revenge is a dangerous game, and not everyone is ready to play it.

Turing Test oleh 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
