action artificial-intelligence conspiracy cyberpunk fantasy galaxy heist interplanetary mystery psionics psy-punk psychic-powers sci-fi science-fiction space-opera urban

A break-in at the Karnati Corporation uncovers a mysterious artifact, whose secrets have the power to plunge all known planets into chaos... or save the galaxy from the most catastrophic war ever. Who will possess the key to the Heplion Contingency - and will they be capable of controlling the terrible consequences of its unleashing?

In the worlds of the Haliburn Galaxy, the powers of the mind have been mastered since ancient times, leading its civilized peoples to forego technological development in favor of psychic disciplines. As a result, its sprawling, trans-planetary civilizations are a mixture of medieval-era weaponry and tools with bustling metropolises, imposing skyscrapers, vast corporations and advanced psionic gadgetry. This innovative foray into the realm of psy-punk joins the wonder of fantasy fiction, the aesthetics of cyberpunk and space-opera thematics into an exciting new frontier in speculative fiction.Все права сохранены

Efferent от AaPThomps

In the process of revamping this profile and this novel... thanks for your patience! (Estimated time of arrival: 12/01/19) "What are we?" I muttered in awe. "Efferent." He cocked his head slightly to the side. "Although, I do not believe that anyone is truly like you, Ardyn Danvers. You are something different altogether. You are something far more superior." ********** In a society dictated by intellectual prowess and where your status is determined by your level of brain function, Ardyn Danvers finds herself on her knees with a historically low percentage. With few choices left to make, and a dim future ahead of her, Ardyn is resigned to joining the rest of the bottom feeders in the gutter. But when an esoteric clinic of scientists develop a serum meant to increase tested brain function, they threaten to turn the nation's establishment on its head and heighten government control. Intending to level the division between the high percentages and the low, they had expected to use the serum to bridge the gap between the undesirables at the foot of the hierarchy to the elite standing at the pinnacle. What they did not expect, however, were the side effects. ********** © 2017 AaPThomps all rights reserved. COMPLETED FIRST DRAFT. Cover by @-wanderes

TRI - T like treachery PART 1 от _snak__

In a world where the sky fell apart, shattering reality, and an enigmatic flora transforms humanity into lost souls, there's a new normal. Humans with supernatural powers are a dime a dozen, but for Kat, it's just background noise. She couldn't care less about the extraordinary, her focus solely on freedom and the last remaining bonds to humanity. Honesty was never her concern, and in a realm of treachery, Kat forges her way, unburdened by the world's intricacies, driven only by the unyielding pursuit of what truly matters to her. Follow Kat on a path where reality fractures, powers abound, yet amidst it all, her defiance echoes louder than the cosmic chaos that surrounds her.

The Runner (Part I of the Runner Series) от so1tgoes

The world as we know it ended 209 years ago. From a desert wasteland springs a single kingdom, ruled by a tyrannical King and trapped in an endless war against the shadowy desert warriors. As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone. Reckless and impulsive, wanted by the King's guard, Kay has become known as the Runner. Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.

Mirror Sky. Part 1 - Blissful Nemesis от pwkos171

The future is predetermined. It can't be changed. But who casts the future in stone? It's you, me, and every one of us. The iron grip of our fate doesn't come from gods or physics but from us. You are oppressed by your future self to walk the one and only road. Knowing the future changes nothing - this knowledge has already been written into your fate. Time travel is meaningless for the same reason - all your meddlings had also become a part of your fate before you even embarked on your journey through time. Could this strange duality of free will and fate be challenged? If so, what would it take? How far are you willing to go to change your dark fate? Is the risk of erasing the universe from existence worth your brighter future?

After the Light: The Last 15 от Alexreedz

🌌 What if one light ended the world... and chose 15 souls to begin something else entirely? On a quiet night, a brilliant light descended from the sky. It pulsed once - then the world was empty. The next morning, only 15 people remained across the entire globe. Strangers. Survivors. Unexplained. Among them - a gifted engineer, a doctor with secrets, four scientists, two innocent kids, and a girl with memories she shouldn't have. Then there's Rei, a loner with no past... and the only one who heard the voice in the light. As they find each other, strange things begin to happen - time glitches, symbols burned into stone, whispers from the stars, and visions of a planet that doesn't exist on any map. When 8 of them launch a desperate journey into deep space to find the source of the light - they face betrayal, loss, alien warzones, and a mysterious world called K71-Gaudy, where nothing is what it seems. And at the heart of it all lies a stone - powerful enough to bring back humanity... or end it forever. 🔥 A love that blooms in the stars. A mystery buried in extinction. A battle between what was lost and what can never return. This is not just the end of the world. This is what comes After the Light.

Zero Sum от nateofspades

Humanity is not alone in the universe. More specifically Earth is not alone. It is an age of wonder for humanity. For all but a few. Our history has been altered, according to one who has visions of the fractured world that could have been but never was. The way history would have played out without an intergalactic coalition of humans visiting Earth. And he cannot decide whether the advanced human's arrival is really all that it seems. Whether we would have been better off as things are now, or with how his visions tell him things ought to have been. There are multiple worlds colonized by a vast space faring technologically and biologically enhanced human race all across the galaxy. Earth is just one of many of such colonies. At some point in our forgotten past Earth was cut off from our intergalactic neighbors and decides to fend for herself. Later we lose ourselves to infighting and nationalism instead of being true to our nature of being a space dwelling, intergalactic human cooperative. Now our space cousins are reestablishing contact with Earth. Bringing their superpower enabled, technological mastery of science so advanced as to seem supernatural. Eliminating slavery, wars, crime, diseases, climate shifts, and currency, with their arrival. Offering the promise of entry into a thriving united galactic empire. (I am dropping in from time to time updating the story with fresh ideas as they pop into my head this is so very much a first draft I have not even decided on names for some of the characters or different factions of humans that are to be encountered from beyond our solar system)

Down Under от 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."

What if I can't save the world? от sunkissed-maya

STATUS: COMPLETED. Their worlds have been shattered by evils they weren't able to stop. Their powers, a reminder to all that they have lost. But when the fate of the world hangs in the balance once again these four heroines receive a second chance to become the heroes that they were destined to be all along. Can they come together in time to stop a futuristic threat or will the villain prove to be too powerful all over again? EXCERPT --------------------------------------------------------------- "You think she'll take the bait?" I asked "I have no idea," she admitted. Kadima opened up the portal and we stepped through. It was the only place she could be sure would have no civilians around. The office was stripped and abandoned. It was an old, basic, nondescript building that was set for demolition. It was dark and dusty. "How long until you think they come, if they come." "I don't think it will be long before they realise. I'm sure she must have some way of knowing when the timeline changes." "Suppose the timeline hasn't changed and this was apart of the plan all along," a voice said in the darkness. "What if something as small as this doesn't change the outcome of this timeline," Mistress Mind snickered as she emerged from behind the wall. Her visor glowed in the darkness. She leaned against the wall. "Did you think something this small would be able to stop us." "We had hoped," I fired up my pendent.
