She flipped her Super F-35 over and barrel-rolled through an Immelmann, a half-loop and a spiral gun climb - her finger pressing the gun button and her jet spitting bullets as she gyrated wildly upwards, sending the Sukhoi's running for cover.  By the time they migrated onto her tail the rest of the F-35's had arrived and she got another kill for the guys to paint on the side of her cockpit.
	Follow Captain McCrystal as she engages in massive dogfights in the clear blue skies over Africa while World War 3 rages across the earth.  Air battles, high-tech vehicles, geopolitics and dinosaurs.

The Vengeance Trilogy. by StevenBarberWriter
3 parts Complete
A trilogy of military hard SciFi short stories, each of which stands on its own but is linked to the earlier parts. Part 1 is my attempt at writing what a battle in space might really be like. Part 2 is - well, as a student of military history, I was struck by how some things in the military life have seemed to be constant over the centuries. Part 3 is the result of trying to imagine what an infantry fire-fight might be like in the 22nd century or beyond. How does technology play into it?
Finding Darkness by Azmavath
62 parts Complete
The big city can be a dangerous place for anyone, but for someone new to its dangers, it can be deadly. Recently escaped from the people that created her, Six is on the run, out in the world for the first time in her short life. Stalked by a team of the best trackers on the planet, she knows her odds of escape are slim at best. Yet these men are not her most pressing concern. Not when the planet that she was born into is no longer controlled by humans. When every person on the planet lives under the shadow of a race none can defeat. Where your only option is bow the knee, or die.
Star Kissed by LizzyFord
21 parts Complete Mature
When Mandy loses her job, she thinks she’s hit rock bottom – until her plane is swallowed by a strange storm that sends her and everyone else on board 10,000 years into the future. At first, she thinks the scary world is nothing more than a bad dream. The war-torn Earth is unrecognizable. Black fog blocks the sun, and the oceans are dry. Even worse: the planet is inhabited by half-human, half-alien creatures dying from a mysterious disease. Horrified at the thought of spending her life here, she clings to the knowledge that there’s one man who can open the star gate to send her home. As the Naki prince who controls the star gate, Akkadi gets first choice of any human female that makes her way through the star gate. Only by breeding with purebred humans from the past can his race hope to remain immune to the disease and hopefully, develop an eventual cure. With shrinking resources and a raging battle for the human planet, dutiful, commanding Akkadi is less than thrilled at the idea of trying to figure out Mandy, a woman he views as wild with neither discipline nor respect for someone in his position. He’s ready to write her off, when she offers him something too tempting to resist: her body for the chance to convince him by any means possible to send her home. Neither intends for the arrangement to be permanent or to fall for the other. Only when Mandy learns Akkadi’s secret and walks away does he realize he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her – even if it means losing his war.
THE END OF WAR (Watty Award Winner) by BenSobieck
88 parts Complete
A secret program in the United States seeks to replace human militaries with artificial intelligence-driven machines, but the machines aren't so willing to play along. *** Picture a world where humans no longer fight wars. No more families missing loved ones. No more veterans with lifelong mental and physical scars. No more conscription. For the super-secret End of War Project inside the United States government, such a reality is already here. The project models out how artificial intelligence can overcome dangerous and morally sensitive war scenarios with algorithms and automation. The centerpieces are "autonomous combat machines," or ACMs, that look like humans but function like supercomputers. After a string of brilliant successes in the field of combat, the End of War Project is preparing to reveal itself to the public, but something unusual stands in the way. Against their programming, the ACMs start exhibiting all-too-human signs of apprehension, guilt and compassion as they're pushed to perform ever more extreme tasks. The human leaders of the End of War Project race to find who "hacked" the ACMs, but what they find is even more startling--and revealing--than they could ever imagine. ***2019 Watty Award Winner - Science Fiction***

When humanity is driven far from the waters that now swallow more than eighty percent of Earth's surface, communications are cut between nations and continents as a mysterious and powerful fleet of seemingly rebuilt WW2 warships called the "Fleet of Fog" take control of the world's oceans, destroying those that try to cross the now deadly waters. Ashley is alone when she finds herself completely severed from her family back in America, traveling around Europe when a coordinated attack between the remaining naval fleets of the world is easily repelled in an unforgiving counterattack by the "Fleet of Fog", destroying almost all of humanity's remaining warships. She knows that crossing the Atlantic is her only way of going back home, but when the attempt severely goes awry, Ashley is helped by a very unlikely ally: a heavy cruiser of the "Fleet of Fog". Suddenly stranded as the only human on a warship capable of thinking for itself, she has no choice but to put her life in its proverbial hands. ---- Started on March 21, 2021.

The Madman's Clock by Aarondov
18 parts Complete
2245 AD It wasn't supposed to end this way. Captain Jack Mallory of the United Earth Marine Corps is wasting away on a space station in the middle of nowhere, the furthest he and his recon squad could possibly be from the fighting on Alpha Centauri. Under investigation, all he and his three men can do is wait, until an admiral appears with new orders, and the recording of a garbled transmission. "Echo-two, Echo-two..." The UES Saturnus is an experimental starship that has just set out on its maiden voyage. An enigmatic race known as the Edra has objected to the Saturnus and its experimental equipment. Earth has ignored their protests. "...this is Zulu-two-three... requesting assistance." Mallory and his men are the only ones close enough to deal with an extremely sensitive situation. "... Saturnus is compromised. Edra commandos are pushing... bridge is... secure. Captain... won't cease experiment... psychosis. Entire crew... affected." There are just two problems. First, the voice on the recording is Mallory's. Second, the transmission is time coded; it hasn't been sent yet. The Saturnus is not damaged. Not yet. Soon, it will be. The Saturnus is top secret for one very good reason, a reason which has forced the hand of the Edra. The Saturnus can travel through time.
