It's two hundred years in the future, and Earth has problems. The tilt of the planet has stabilized, causing widespread drought. Once-stable countries are at war for what little resources are left. The United States government decides it's time for the humans to leave.
Chloe and her family are part of an experiment that will determine the fate of humanity. Along with thirty-five other families, they are sent to planet Xantir. Their mission: to set up a new civilization.
But they are taking a great risk. A slight miscalculation, a bug in the computer program; thirty-six families gone forever. Good thing the programmers were hand-picked by the government...
With every minute that passes, Chloe leaves behind everything that she knows. The farther the ship gets from home, the longer it takes to communicate with her home. All that she has left is her family.
If the ship can reach planet Xantir, a whole new set of difficulties will meet Chloe. She's spent two years of her life learning about the edible plants, the dangerous animals, and the geography of the new planet. But there's far too much the humans don't know. In the past, Chloe's relied on information from probes. Nobody knows what will happen if a human actually sets foot on Xantir.

Wanderers of the Solar Wind
They're not looking for glory. They're just trying to survive. In a future where Earth has drowned beneath the waves and Venus has become a fortress in the clouds, space is no longer a realm for heroes-it's an arena for those cast aside. Where the law ends, the fight for survival begins. And where the connection to home is severed, a new family is born. This is a story about those who don't fly toward the stars, but away from them-from the past, from the system, from the roles forced upon them. About those who find each other in the shadows of forgotten stations, on the ice of distant moons, aboard a battered shuttle that should've been scrapped long ago, yet somehow still flies. It's a story of loyalty, brotherhood, and friendship. Of choices that aren't debated-they're made. A message from the future, written in blood, platinum, and rust. This is space as it truly is: harsh, beautiful, merciless. Where friends are family. And a cosmonaut's word is stronger than diamond. Are you ready to launch? Buckle up. The Karakut is warming its engines. Let's go.![Her Dirty Secret [Down Draft]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/2292638-256-k996411.jpg)
Her Dirty Secret [Down Draft]
Amethyst Jones has a baby sister named Iris Jones. "Amy" takes care of her sister as best she can, just like a mother would, in the household she is forced to live in. The twist? Her father, or the person she is led to believe is her father, seriously abuses her, mentally and physically. On her seventeenth birthday, she gets another twist. She turns into a sedan-sized wolf, and she never knew what she was until that moment. But she has a little problem, too. A pack of werewolves lives nearby and they find out about her existence. They want her to live with them, with their pack of wolves, but she doesn't want to, can't, for many reasons. See the problem? And her goal in life, for almost a year, had been to find an important person, but she isn't even sure if this person is still alive. What will she decide to do with her life? So many decisions, so little time, as the saying goes. Oh... That's wrong? Too bad. That's Amethyst's version. She will consider one person in this ordeal to be her friend. He's helped her from the beginning. And there is one more twist. You know those cliched werewolf stories where the girl is abused and then she runs away and finds her mate and lives happily ever after? Yeah, there's a twist on that, too. You'll see.Complete
Runaway World
During the final decades of the twenty first century, a rogue brown dwarf star passed through the solar system and its gravity threw the Earth out of orbit around the sun. Two hundred years later, when the atmosphere has finished freezing onto the surface, explorers from the last refuge of humanity venture out to see what's become of their world. Things looks bleak. Mankind faces a future of huddling in whatever warm refuges it can make for itself until the Earth's core goes cold, but then a discovery is made. An opportunity exists for mankind to leave the planet and find its destiny among the stars, but to do so requires an all or nothing gamble and losing would mean the end of the human race. Some want to take the gamble. Others don't, and so conflict and violence breaks out as the survey teams explore a planet transformed out of all recognition...Complete

Sentilia
Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351. She's always been fascinated with how humans used to live in houses, drive cars, and the fact that there used to be forests and parks everywhere. Now, after a war that nearly erased humanity, people are forced to live a strict, dull, communist lifestyle. Everyone seems okay with this way of life. Everyone except Maxine. Maxine had always been special; she was often able to predict events. How? She didn't exactly know...yet. When she starts having dreams about a tropical island where people live as they did in the 21st century, she meets the man of her dreams: literally. Her new boiling emotions bring her to wonder...what if it's a real place? When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination. Finding that island could mean finding the answers to her burning questions, and maybe even answers to questions she didn't know she had. However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is. The Advisors, the ten women governing the world, want to assimilate the people of the island, not knowing that those people have an extreme advantage over them. Maxine also learns that her family has been lying to her about who she really is. Ultimately, when the Advisors come to destroy the island, she must face the fact that she is the key to the island's salvation, and embracing her rapidly developing abilities is the only way to do so.Complete
