When pandemics hit too often and too fast, death becomes inevitable. 

Have teens Catalina and Sawyer found a refuge? 

Afloat in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the tech utopia of New Atlantis has been developed by the super-rich to isolate themselves, their families, and those who serve them from plagues devastating the rest of the world. 

No one comes aboard without an invitation. No one dares to leave. 

You'll love this dystopian young adult tale, because even billionaires can't afford paradise.

Her thirst to explore gets her into an unforeseen trouble, and she wakes up in an establishment hidden from the government, kidnapped by people who ... might not quite be humans. Secrets unfold, faces unveil, and Naomi finds herself in the middle of a war that might destroy their lives forever. Copyright © 2016 Mehnaz Tabassum. All Rights Reserved

The slaves of Freetown by MariamaOmarika

Cogito™ Entertainment presents: Living someone else's life can be entertaining. If the person you're embodying dies from societal injustices, though, could your own soul bear it? The E.R.G.O. Prospect Technology offered humanity a chance at spiritual and empathetic development, virtuous enlightenment, improvement of emotional intelligence, and open-mindedness of its benefactors ever since its creation in Max Young's garage in 2080, almost ten years ago. Its rapid success allowed her to build her empire, the Cogito™ Entertainment companies. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the E.R.G.O. Prospect Technology's discovery, Young decided to join forces with Ergosummit Studios to produce a simulation that is particularly close to her heart, titled "The slaves of Freetown". In that universe representing a modified version of our past 2019, the practice of slavery maintains the American society in a fragile balance. Deprived of rights, Kanoa's family is one of the 10% that the BC19 program (Beat-COVID-19) has randomly chosen to serve as material goods, made available to the true American citizens - the Masters. Surviving, day after day, their often harsh treatment, the Slave sees his only chance to be one day freed, reduced to nothing, as he is accused of his Mistress' murder... So, what are you waiting for? Don't you want to know if Kanoa will realize his dream of freedom? Impersonate his avatar and find out more about his story!

Yet, the ripples of the changing world beyond seep in with increasing force, bleaching color and darkening minds--but not Dea Rhodoreef's mind. That day, all Dea could think about was swimming her sea cow to the seagrass meadows. Who said life's easy for a high school teen?

Shadows of Atlantis Part One: Awakening by MaraPowers

Atlantis is an idyllic paradise where citizens are meant to live in alignment with nature, and reach their highest potential. With advanced crystal technology, their cities are powered by the psychic emanations of the people, who make mindlight donations to the Crystal Grid. But the experiment has begun to crumble. Atlantis has been invaded by shadows who have infiltrated the Grid. As the people slowly lose sight of their original design, those less fortunate are inhabited by these terrifying parasites who feed off the negative emotions of humans; an epidemic called the madness. The highest levels of government have been infiltrated. As the madness spreads, very few take notice of their gradual loss of free will and connection to one another. Those who can see must consider revolution, or perish with their people forever.

L.O.V.E. by denissebloom04

100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)

Truth Lies Within by anonymous_audrey

AN ARISTOCRAT. A BOUNTY HUNTER. A SCAVENGING ORPHAN. THREE SECRETS. THREE LIVES. In the idyllic world of Veridonia, a deadly plague has claimed the lives of every child under the age of eighteen. For years, the citizens have been told that their only hope for survival lies in the hands of the enigmatic Supreme Malakar, who'd never shown himself to the public. Three teenagers-Axelle, Wylan, and Keira-have been confined to their homes, protected from the horror of the disease. However, each harbors dangerous secrets that threaten to destroy the peace they cling to. Veridonia's secrets are more than skin-deep, and the Council's iron-grip on the country tightens, fueled by everyone's fear and obliviousness. Three teenagers, each from different parts of their oppressed society, come together when their paths cross. Sharing discoveries, and their own secrets, they realize Veridonia is a landscape transformed from fake perfection to hidden destruction. As Veridonia's darkest secrets are unveiled, Axelle, Wylan, and Keira must grapple with the relentless question: How far would they go to protect those who've never known a happy world? Was their world ever truly happy, or was it all an illusion crafted by the Supreme and his Council?

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

Lunar Virus ✔️ by its_really_not

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258! HR: 203 in science fiction (5/8/18) Completed on August 15th, 2018 (Indian independence day!) *******This is not a zombie novel
