The Control Group by LisaGreen2

In Purgatory, the job of the dead is to help the living transition to the other side. A small crew of "jockeys" take over the bodies of the living during their final few seconds, relieving them of their suffering. Well, that's what Eva thinks. But the mystery is deeper than Eva realizes, and when the life she left behind starts to creep in around the edges, everything she thinks she understands about reality is about to be lost in the fog. ***Standalone short story, first book of the Resurrection Protocols series.***

It is the second decade of the second millennium and an unsuspecting world is engulfed by an unknown plague. Uncurable and fatal, it was hence named the Hangman's Plague. The survivors of this brave new world must find a way to operate in an environment of scarcity. Some still yearn for the olden days of humanity, an era of plenty. Only those most determined to carry on and thrive in a new era of capricious geopolitical uncertainty will prosper and begin a renaissance of humanity. Can these broken pieces be stitched back together, or will we remain forlorn forever?

The Halferne Incubus by Djaysnider

In a future world, the lines between the virtual and the physical are increasingly blurred... A man who doesn't exist is murdered. A woman is tormented by his nightmares. A mysterious dark figure only she can see will stop at nothing to know what they are. A lone cop believes her and vows to protect her.

Making Contact by EvanderFragoso

A psychotic killer is on the loose. His victims are exclusively women, and each murder is committed twelve-hours from the last. While the police struggle to pinpoint the next target and take down the killer before he strikes again, the F.B.I. has sent in a walking taboo to assist with the hunt. In a world scarred by the aftermath of thinking-machines that suddenly turned on their creators, the federal agent sent to help crack the case is a new Ai unit that will test the detectives on the job and their willingness to look past the bias formed from the incident years ago. Will the killer who leaves his victims covered in satanic symbols be apprehended before twelve hours have run up, or will another woman lose her life to the elusive serial killer?

Edax sapiens by February2084

The year was 2101. Human explorers had set foot on every planet and moon they could stand on. Governments, corporations, and criminal enterprises raced close behind to claim the unearthly territories for themselves. It was an unforgiving and wild frontier, rife with danger, mystery, and unbridled experimentation far from any ethical jurisdiction to stop them. From the mafia on Europa trafficking human-animal hybrids, to an AI worshipped by a surrogacy convent, there was no shortage of strange and unusual characters reshaping humanity. But of all the secrets and madmen hiding beyond the asteroid belt, none compared to Edax RNA and The Boss who developed it.

Heavenly Bodies by Live_Free_or_Die227

The world is changing. The Rapture has begun. Years ago, beings known as Angels descended upon the Earth, ravaging cities and decimating armies. Bullets didn't faze them. Nor did bombs, tanks, or blades. They were unstoppable. Insatiable in their desire for destruction. Until that day, when an Angel killed its fellow soldier, and project "Heaven's Gate" was formed. A bioweapons program intended to integrate parts of an Angel's physiology into a human host, in hopes that they could defend their fellow man. A shame none of the necessary test subjects were willing.
