Emerson Watt was never a "normal kid." Since they were 4 years old they had been kept in the hospital due to an undiagnoseable medical condition. After years of research and tests. The doctors never come closer to discovering or helping Emerson. Everyday played out the same. The same TV channels. The same single nurse visiting at the same time. Everyday. At 9, 12, 3, 6, and 9. Like clockwork. 9, 12, 3, 6, and 9. Until August 24, 2058. 3 o'clock comes around... then 3:10.... then 3:15...

Author's Note
Lucy Calderwood writes books. She loves reading, she loves writing, she loves fiction more than reality. Getting lost in books is what she does best. Though when she's asked to write a novel for her college course, such a thing happens literally. At night, when she goes to sleep, she wakes in the world of her own creation - in the book that she herself is writing, thus resulting in adventures she thought impossible, friendships she thought unreasonable, and an emotional rollercoaster she doesn't know how to deal with. To survive, she must fight. Fight what the world has become, fight what she has made, fight furious beasts of incredible sizes, alongside Thomas, Keith, and Katherine, all three being her own book characters. And if she's hurt, injured in her book, then it happens in reality. But what if she were to die?Complete

August 2, 2012. The day humanity fell. Having gone through an environmental cataclysm, planet earth has deteriorated into a vast wilderness inhabiting the aftermath of the war that pulverized populations. The remainder of humanity's strongest reside in the protection of Strongholds, where clusters of cities strive within massive walls that separate the remaining humans from the man-eating monsters that nearly sent them into extinction. In this time, humanity's strongest are sent out to take back their fallen planet, but when the walls fall, all bets are placed on the outside and the unknown forces that reside in the supposed uninhabitable. Fang is one of many survivors left after the fall of his Stronghold, and he, along with the companions he's gathered along the way, must rely on their abilities as they undergo a dangerous battle that may or may not cost them their lives: the battle of ultimate survival.

Ten years after the battle at Single Oak, the four groups of Oregon are still reeling from its after effects. Territory lines were drawn and stories have been told, those who were heroes once are legends now. In order to avoid new conflicts, solstice gatherings between the groups' leaders were organized-but will they be enough? *** Phoenix has grown up only ever knowing two things. One, her group and fathers are the saviors of Oregon. Two, The Reaper's are not to be trusted. So when a mysterious stranger rescues her after a hunting trip gone wrong turns out to be none other than her mortal enemy she begins to wonder, are they all as bad as they seem? The death of Stephan has begun to deteriorate The Reaper's from the inside out. Infighting over who should be their next leader has created countless seasons of lacking supplies and structure. A lack of prey follows a famine. Strong leadership is in order and although Gerald can provide it, debate and rumors are spread about his chosen companion-Aleu, Stephan's once respected apprentice, now glued to his side in a relationship they never wanted-with no say in the matter. The only person who The Reaper's can put their hope into is Hawk, their new general, a powerful man willing to do anything to keep his group thriving. Hawk is torn between keeping his group safe and his own ambition, Aleu is tortured with a constricting life they hate and Phoenix wonders if she can truly trust her new acquaintances. Now the three must make a decision.

Biopod Serie #0: Rust & Stardust
"After everything, you're... one of the few things that actually feels real." In 2030, the sky cracked open. By 2040, Earth belongs to the Biopods. In the present, 2049, humanity has mostly given up, trying to survive through this broken world. They arrived as silent meteorites, egg-shaped monoliths that burrowed into the Earth. At first, humanity thought they were dormant. But they weren't. Each Biopod is a living factory: it devours biological matter-humans, animals, forests-and reconfigures it into cold, sentient machines. The machines they make vary, adapting to terrain, resistance, and resource availability. They don't just kill. They convert. Matthew Riots, gunner from the Frontline, no longer wishing to fight, left the Frontline for Zeta. There he reunited with his sister, living out their quiet lives. But no peace truly exists in a world full of Biopods. Zeta fell, he and his sister completely lost contact. Promising to keep surviving no matter what, Matthew journeyed to the promised land of Athena. The story of Rust And Stardust gives us insights on what little humanity is left in the apocalypse. A story focusing on the theme of family, love and human's connection. In a broken world where survival is a luxury, will our main character finally find peace and happiness again?Complete
