After a relatively short career as one of the CIA's best wetwork agents (assassin), Wyatt Hollingsworth seeks out some kind of...atonement for the horrible things he's had to do for his country. Problem is, all the usual suggestions, volunteer work, donating to the needy, walking grandma across the street, it's just...boring. If he's going to make up for his sins, he's going to do something he likes, right?
He realizes that Mercenary work may be something he could wrap his head around. Problem is, Mercenary Corruption rates in 2100 were sky high. Give people guns and they go crazy, apparently. Luckily, he discovered Kinetic, the most moral-conscious mercenary firm in New York, possibly the country. So much so that it's the only mercenary firm with a standing consulting contract with the police department. So, it must be a good fit for him. And, after an...unorthodox interview, he was given the job.
Unfortunately, He couldn't have come at a worst time. Almost immediately after getting his job, someone tries to kill his new team, using some of the same skills that he used to use as a wetworker. Now, he has to figure out who is trying to kill his new team, preferably before he's put out of a job.
Hey. Still beats helping grandma across the street.

17 bab Lengkap
Special Agent Alyssa Caine has been tasked with the most important mission of her life: the assassination of the man who would bring about the end of the world. The only problem? He is already dead. A minor issue that is resolved in the year 2157 when a renegade group of scientists develops a device that allows to jump through time. They recruit the former special agent to send her back fifty years, to take just one man out of the equation, a minimal change with a predicted maximal effect on the fate of the world, and prevent a devastating war that has driven the last surviving humans to live in decrepit underground bunkers. Every action has a consequence. Alyssa is humanity's last hope, and her actions will determine the fate of the whole world. She is willing to sacrifice everything for a better future. But she soon realizes that the impact of her actions might be beyond her control, and beyond all predictions. _____ Highest Rankings: #16 in Science [06.02.2019] #36 in Dystopia [06.02.2019] #65 in FemaleProtagonist [01.02.2019] #71 in TimeTravel [06.02.2019] #1 in Paradox [28.02.2019] #1 in ONC2019 [01.02.2019] #3 in OpenNovellaContest2019 [28.02.2019] This is my entry for the ONC 2019! At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

It's 2229. Luther Wall, the most powerful man in the world, is inexplicably dead, leaving the population stunned and the world at risk of civil war. Many believe he was immortal and let himself die, but no one knows why. Ash, a fourteen-year-old boy for whom Luther was an idol, is more shocked and angry than most. Luther, like Ash, was a Numa (New hUMAns), a member of a new race produced through genetic engineering to have superior strength, agility, and resistance to injury. Known for his great powers, he single-handedly defeated the genocidal armies of the Shadows fifteen years prior. Many hoped he would teach the Numas the secrets of his powers, but instead he died. Now, the Numas are defenseless against the rising tide of Shadow sympathizers. At Luther's funeral, Ash wanders around Luther's house in search of clues that might explain his hero's death. He finds a black ball upon which enigmatic messages appear. The ball, a sentient toy tells Ash, holds the key to Luther's secrets, but will only reveal it to those worthy. Ash follows the directions of the ball and ends up investigating the murder of an old war criminal and a bloody bank robbery despite his father's opposition. If Ash solves the mystery, he will become the new hero and teach the secret of immortality to his people, but if he doesn't, he could cause the extermination of his own race. Meanwhile, he wonders whether he really is the right person to inherit Luther's power, and learns that prejudice can lurk in all of us. THE NEW HUMANS is a YA sci-fi novel that may appeal to readers looking for entertaining and imaginative science fiction seasoned with humor, like Ernest Cline's Ready Player One.

No one really knew how X's came to be. One day there weren't any, the next day half the population was wiped out. All Karma knew was that they are technological monsters, fit to be the world's biggest weapon, after the splitting particle ray which could reduce any person into air particles in a millisecond. Karma realised how simple it would be to destroy an army even with one X. They were practically indestructible, perfect killing machines, only they'd turned on the government, apparently. Or maybe those bastards had escaped perfectly unharmed, watching how the country was being destroyed. Maybe it was an excuse for overpopulation. xx-xx Karma has been trying to survive for over a year, but it's difficult when X's, mechanical killing machines, roam the streets, hungry for human flesh. Every day that passes by without finding a portal brings the morale lower. They need to escape the country before they all end up dead. It doesn't help that the X's have changed their tactics and are now manipulating people to commit suicide. The death rate keeps increasing, and Karma has to find out what family means, and to what extremes she would go to save the ones she loves.
