The worst is over. Social order is on the rise, a new food is feeding all registered families, cloning is outlawed, and the bigger biotech companies are making early strives in reintroducing lost species.

Tilly and Louis, the stewards of a remote, old growth forest, want to keep this new world out. Their responsibility is only to their trees and beloved birds. But with a dwindling trust fund and mounting pressure to lease their land to Anson Genetics, they're faced with a difficult decision. The situation worsens when two human clones, from a defunct project, arrive at their gate.  Now, they must decide to protect the last of the old or the first of the new.

THE HUNDRED YEAR MAN by deancmoore

There have been no communiques from Earth post Singularity. The Martian colonists wonder if the race abandoned space-time altogether. But for right now, they have bigger problems. Their sun is going supernova—well ahead of schedule. The two greatest minds of the time, one a scientist, the other a philosopher, concoct a two-pronged plan to save the human race. Frakas, the bioengineer, will continue to seed humanoid and increasingly alien life forms across the heavens using space warping ships. But higher consciousness isn’t exactly his specialty. And the one man who can be bothered to think beyond mean survival, his philosopher friend, Draxor, must be cloned before he passes. Only he can continue to uplift the ragtag worlds of hearty pioneers with little time to savor the finer things in life. Only he can ensure that, for those who choose to remain in the physical universe post Singularity, evolution will win out against the increasingly stronger pull towards barbarism. Thus is born The Hundred Year Man who reigns before passing the torch to the next clone. There is just one problem. The Hundred Year Man is just a prototype—and he’s flawed.

The Typhon Project by MelindaFriesen

Radiation is decimating the human race. When the Earth's magnet field fails, only the best and brightest young people are selected for genetic modifications that will save them. Leah is among the few chosen to survive. But losing her family and the physical changes caused by the modifications leave her devastated--she hates looking in the mirror at the creature she's become. She's transported to The Farm to be with others of her kind, but when she sneaks from the compound one night, she meets a boy, a human boy, seemingly unaffected by the radiation, who reveals a wild conspiracy theory about the genetic modifications and the very nature of the magnet field failure. His theories could be tumor-induced paranoia. Or he could be telling the a truth.

Wren Sawyer and his younger sister Ivy are two of those endangered beings, and struggle to survive in the remains of what was once their lives, but also manage to uncover a strange mystery that will unravel the terrible truth behind the Singularity...

Beneath the Shadowlanders by ManderRitzert

We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.

Because some survive. And some... are chosen.
