LEGACY CHILD by jan_claremont

Abriel Brighton exists solely to give birth to genetically perfect children-a role she has no interest in fulfilling. Created by the scientists who originally settled on and colonized a dead planet with the intention of terraforming it, she belongs to a breed of genetically altered humans designed to safe-guard humanity's DNA. Living in a protected underground society called Urbine's Crescent, she and others like her are to be retrieved once the surface is ready for habitation. However, they've been waiting a long time. Long enough that the idea of the surface world has faded into legend. When Abriel's father is murdered, she finds herself thrust into a conflict where all motives are suspect. As a scout and pair-bonded with a telepathic dog-like animal that's native to the planet, she struggles to determine the responsible party. Instead, violence escalates to the point where law becomes meaningless and she's stripped of all power. Worse, Abriel discovers the Crescent leadership is systematically destroying the only home she's ever known and her enemies are probably her only allies. When a stranger named Porter arrives, claiming to be from the surface and delivering the message that the planet is terraformed and ready to support human life, she has no choice but to believe him. Without his help, the Crescent won't survive. But with it, they just might be able to remake their entire world.

I wasn't special, I wasn't a marine or a scientist sent here from earth to study Pandora, I was a behaviorist-some say behaviorists are scientists too; but the brain isn't made up of mathematics and hope, it's like the roots of trees. Forever speaking but unheard. I study people's brains and their behavior. I don't look at it with hope and faith. I'm nothing special, not really. When I was accepted to help with Project Pandora, I was exhilarated. This was my big break, something to get me out there. I never expected for it to spiral into my life unprofessionally-become personal, emotional. That I would have to fight in a war between man and alien, choose between my own people and a clan of beings that accepted me-welcomed me, trained and made me one of them. This wasn't supposed to become personal, but it did.

Revolution by ravenbeechwood

When we took the 'human' out of 'superhuman,' we made them something worse. . . Paige is one of 20 superpowered mutants being held in a Dynagenesis facility, kept secret from the public and the government. They've never seen the sun or the ocean or had a breath of fresh air. But when Paige begins to realize something is off, it's her responsibility to lead herself and other mutants into a world entirely different from their own, where human rights only apply if you're human.

Parasite Lost by TheKyleWinter

Being a hero isn't easy, unless you're being blackmailed. Dante has the best cybernetic and genetic modifications money can buy. The problem is, he stole them from the owner of the largest bio-enhancement company in the human controlled galaxy, his father. When one of his father's research facilities start turning locals into violent mutants, Dante is coerced to clean up the mess. Assisted by a convict, an ex-cop, and a pyromaniac, Dante must fight his way through the research facility's automated defenses, survive the horde of monstrosities within, discover what caused the outbreak, and identify the traitor in his group before any one of those things kills him. How hard could it be?

A Lonely Road by ThatWriterGirl1432

Usually, being the new kid at school means that you are awkwardly introduced every period, and catching up on all the work. It doesn't usually involved a knife wielding redhead saving you from more knife wielding maniacs, right? The battleground lines aren't clear, and the only people who know how to stop it are, of course, only human. This story is my NaNoWriMo 2019 Novel. This is book one in the Disillusionment series. I have gone through edits and some rewriting of this novel and parts may have changed. If you have previously read, I suggest rereading from the beginning in order to avoid any confusion. Thanks!!

Prometheus by thishasruinedme

When fighting broke out 20 years ago many feared the beginning of world war 3. Hope's parents were commissioned to create a virus that could quickly and effectively wipe out a nation. However when the war was over it still hadn't been used and they feared it may fall into the wrong hands. They knew they had to find away to destroy it. There is still large disagreement about what happened once the project was disbanded. Many believe hope's parents hid the disease and the cure and those people will stop at nothing to get it as they use it to gain power. Hope and her younger sister Dora live a quite life in a small town in the Rockies. So suddenly when their parents are murdered in their home, Hope knows she has no choice but to run. Oblivious to the dangers that lie ahead of them they he'd to Denver in departs search of answers. Are they ready for dangers that come with knowing the truth? Can the strange green eyed boy she meets be trusted to keep her and her little sister safe? Or is this all just a little more than they bargained for? (Cover photo does not belong to me)

Fifteen years later, everyone lives finally in peace. But when an assassination takes place, it sets in motion several events that put Emily Roberts, the poster child of deviant integration, face to face with Rachel Moore, the leader of the terrorist group for the liberation of deviants. What is the truth and is it worth finding it out? Warning: depiction of trauma / violence / abuse.
