Shattered Realms by Crawler97

When Noah's wife, Lucy, succumbs to a mysterious paralysis, it marks the beginning of a global catastrophe. A deadly virus spreads rapidly, plunging humanity into chaos and igniting violent delusions among the infected. But the nightmare doesn't stop at Earth. As Noah, his daughter Judy, and his friend Kali struggle to survive, they discover the virus is merely the gateway to a larger, cosmic battle. Their journey takes them beyond our world, into multiple realms and alternate realities where dark forces conspire to consume all existence. Faced with cosmic horrors, shifting realities, and an ever-worsening outbreak, Noah must confront the terrifying truth: the survival of not just his family, but countless universes, depends on him. From a world teetering on collapse to adventures across dimensions, can Noah rise above the chaos and save reality itself before it's too late? (I am writing this novel from my deep love for fiction and science fiction adventures. While I know there are areas where I still have room to grow, I hope this story offers a glimpse into my inner world of imagination and exploration.) Thank you for your support!

Stealth Journeys with the Steam Mapper by steammapperjourneys

A 2019 Wattys entry deeply into climate change, global warming, and environmental destruction, especially the nuclear kind! A lot of true facts are embedded in this story which has both true and fictional characters. Who is to be believed is for you to decide. The chapters are many but many are short. Still, it is a full-sized novel with promise for future adventures. Plot: An international crew of scientists board a large state-of -the art oceanographic vessel privately funded by an anonymous source. The itinerary is to travel down the west coast of the Americas and travel the South Pacific to Antarctica. The team plans to visit many known sites of hydrothermal vents using a device called the MAPR, searching vents for a bacterium that seems promising in use as a way to fight carbon dioxide emissions. But one of the two junior scientists on the team soon realizes that secrets are being kept, and makes promises to keep some, while learning that some onboard have entirely different agendas. To complicate matters, this junior scientist's desire for a special friendship grows in intensity, just as mysterious murmurings and strange sightings intensify. And then, the ship experiences a sequence of events that will draw world attention and leave all of us with more questions than answers. "If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water." "The Immense Journey" by Loren Eiseley "No other place, always this Your earthly landfall, and no ship exists To take you from yourself." By Lawrence Durrell

LEGACY CHILD by jan_claremont

Abriel Brighton exists solely to give birth to genetically perfect children-a role she has no interest in fulfilling. Created by the scientists who originally settled on and colonized a dead planet with the intention of terraforming it, she belongs to a breed of genetically altered humans designed to safe-guard humanity's DNA. Living in a protected underground society called Urbine's Crescent, she and others like her are to be retrieved once the surface is ready for habitation. However, they've been waiting a long time. Long enough that the idea of the surface world has faded into legend. When Abriel's father is murdered, she finds herself thrust into a conflict where all motives are suspect. As a scout and pair-bonded with a telepathic dog-like animal that's native to the planet, she struggles to determine the responsible party. Instead, violence escalates to the point where law becomes meaningless and she's stripped of all power. Worse, Abriel discovers the Crescent leadership is systematically destroying the only home she's ever known and her enemies are probably her only allies. When a stranger named Porter arrives, claiming to be from the surface and delivering the message that the planet is terraformed and ready to support human life, she has no choice but to believe him. Without his help, the Crescent won't survive. But with it, they just might be able to remake their entire world.

Defection (MentalModel!Brothers and OC) by Choose_The_Adventure

When humanity is driven far from the waters that now swallow more than eighty percent of Earth's surface, communications are cut between nations and continents as a mysterious and powerful fleet of seemingly rebuilt WW2 warships called the "Fleet of Fog" take control of the world's oceans, destroying those that try to cross the now deadly waters. Ashley is alone when she finds herself completely severed from her family back in America, traveling around Europe when a coordinated attack between the remaining naval fleets of the world is easily repelled in an unforgiving counterattack by the "Fleet of Fog", destroying almost all of humanity's remaining warships. She knows that crossing the Atlantic is her only way of going back home, but when the attempt severely goes awry, Ashley is helped by a very unlikely ally: a heavy cruiser of the "Fleet of Fog". Suddenly stranded as the only human on a warship capable of thinking for itself, she has no choice but to put her life in its proverbial hands. ---- Started on March 21, 2021. Completed on September 6, 2022. Completion edit finished on February 19, 2023. This is a crossover between Osomatsu-san and Arpeggio of Blue Steel. I do not own any of the characters used in either series. Cover photo owned by Toru Hanai (REUTERS), all rights reserved.

WARLORDS OF ANDROMEDA by deancmoore

Three hundred years after Earth’s sentient internet takes the planet into Singularity—and out of spacetime—to avoid a sun going supernova ahead of schedule, the fleeing Martian colonists have found another kind of liberation. Using space warping ships they spread their seed across Andromeda. But if Frakas, the genius bioengineer who created a new Cambrian explosion of humanoid life, and the first of the hundred year men, clones designed to uplift souls, were enough to see them through the first leg of their journey, they are not around to be leaned on anymore. So begins the second trilogy of The Hundred Year Men saga, WARLORDS OF ANDROMEDA, and the reign of Dargan, the second clone. But will the ingenious tactics of Dargan’s warlords be enough to unseat the powers threatening the empire from within as well as from without? Or will these highly evolved humanoid species merely use their genetic and cybernetic enhancements to make better war on a scale never before imagined, using imaginative methods only such technological breakthroughs—not to mention sprawling space armadas—could accommodate? --------------------------- note: the three separate trilogies comprising the Hundred Year Men saga do not have to be read in order.

The Final Test by jayseejewel

Earth was overtaken by the Calumnia ten years ago and if it weren't for the alien Occisio race who saved the remnants of humanity, Indi's race would have gone extinct. Now, at the age of sixteen, Indi and the other surviving children are about to complete their training and return to Earth to kill the monster that destroyed their world and killed their parents. However, the children on the Occisio's spaceship have been dismissed one by one in training tests and only a few of them remain. Will Indi prove himself skilled enough to become a soldier? Or will he fail humanity as his parents did? This short story (in 13 parts) is a love letter to fans of Ender's Game and Maze Runner. (I may eventually turn this into a novel but for now, I hope you enjoy this 10,000 word story about hope and overcoming one's weakness.) [This story will appear on other websites as well, such as Royal Road.] #43 IN POST-APOCALYPTIC
