Enlightenment [Book 2: SEKTOR V Trilogy] by SEKTORV

Book two of the SEKTOR V Trilogy expands into the Galactic unknown. In Enlightenment, Humanity's myopic and solitary existence is suddenly thrust into the domain of strange beings who have been monitoring and manipulating the Terran System for millennia. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, planetary powers look to align with benevolent extraterrestrials in order to battle dark alien forces looking to end Man's reign as the dominant species on Earth. Note: While Enlightenment stands on its own, additional context and story arc can be gleaned if the reader chooses to explore Book 1 of the SEKTOR V series (Ensemble) which was also a Watty Shortlist selection in 2021. https://www.wattpad.com/story/201672104-ensemble-book-1-sektor-v-trilogy [Complete: 63,572 words; 39 Chapters] 2022 Wattys Shortlist Selection - October 2022 Twitter: @SEKTOR_V S3KTORV@gmail.com

Shadow and Steel by FHLevin

🏆 Chosen as Sci-Fi Story of the Month by Wattpad's @ScienceFiction. 🏆 Featured on Wattpad's @ShortStory. 🏆 Awarded Best Science Fiction at the October 2024 Flames Awards. 🏆 Chosen as Book of the Month by @CroodsGirl Shadow and Steel: A Short Story Series. In a time where mankind has reached the stars, the light of progress does not shine on all. In the shadow of the Terran Commonwealth's steel grip lies the Fringe: a wild, lawless frontier where survival comes at the the barrel of a blaster. Here, smugglers, outlaws, and desperate souls navigate a world of dangerous alliances and deadly betrayals, carving out lives amidst the chaos of interstellar power struggles. In this unforgiving universe, technology is currency, and secrets worth dying for are traded in dark corners. Some fight for freedom, others for redemption, but in a galaxy ruled by cold steel and colder hearts, the line between hero and villain is as blurred as the stars themselves. In a world where every decision could be your last, only the strong survive amidst Shadow and Steel. Content Warning: This series contains violence, gore, death, harassment, strong language, drug use, psychological trauma, and mature situations. Reader discretion is advised.

Down Under by AmyMarieZ

|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface. [][][] This was originally my entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest, and it received an honorable mention! It has now been expanded into a full length novel. I used prompt number 53: "When wildlife starts rampaging, all the humans are forced underground. However, they come to a terrible discovery that being underground is no safer than being on the surface."
