It's been a year since the death of the Grand Inquisitor and the Ghost crew's successful rescue of Kanan Jarrus from the clutches of the evil Empire.

But even bonds as strong as durasteel are not immune to harm. When a mission gone wrong causes Kanan to have to make a choice that has no good ending, his decision causes everything to begin falling apart. New, stronger forces from the Empire arrive, and Ezra finds his faith in everything and everyone he's ever believed in utterly shaken.

11 Hours by byamyaolivia

The fate of the world rests on our shoulders again. I thought the days of us fighting were over until I woke up inside my burning school. We're being hunted by an alien species beyond classification, mixed with multiple different species. It's up to us to stop them and make them find a new planet to inhabit. But who are they running from?

Into the Void by Poundcake93

It is the year 2351 and the galaxy is expanding. Planets all across settled space are preparing for the next great wave of expansion. Ships are sailing out into the black in search of new homes for humanity. As the next wave of colony ships prepare to leave the frontier, pilot Nate Levin finds himself alone and destitute on a backwater space station. The void is a dangerous place and when pirates attack his home, Nate is left with one choice: leave everything behind and pray for a fresh start on a new planet. When his ship arrives, Nate and his crew find that their new home is nowhere near as safe as it seems. Danger is all around, help is light-years away, and it's up to the crew to pull together and save themselves.

Leila of the Rogue [Book Four] by jplupine

[18+; Use an age indicator in YOUR BIO to confirm you're 18+ if you want to follow/comment or you'll be blocked for safety purposes] Leila may be a rather intelligent weapons expert working for a top-secret government facility, but she will often say how she is equal parts stupid and smart. Smart? She lost her arm and built a new one from scratch. Stupid? The damned thing could have killed her the moment she put it on. But, hey, gotta risk it to get the biscuit, right?

The Secrets of the Outpost by StefanodeSiena

Get away! Get help! Her brain was shouting at her. After a moment, she activated the opening command. She couldn't leave him there alone. She couldn't... The doors opened again. Blue eyes stared at her from the impenetrable darkness. In the deafening silence, she finally began to scream. In a research base on an inhospitable planet, thirty people live and work in dire conditions. They all have ambition, dreams, and secret they brought along from distant Earth. The facility will close in one month. One of the scientists is found dead under suspicious circumstances and in five days a spaceship will come carrying a rescue team to evacuate all personnel. But five days is a long time. Shynar, the base commander, launches an investigation that will lead her to a mysterious killer. Someone isn't who they claim to be, and between clues and false leads, Shynar and her team--hunted by a dark, unsettling shadow--will need all their capabilities in a race against the clock to find out the truth and the secrets of the outpost. Five days to survive or be killed...

Supernal by MattMacBride

A discredited biologist joins the fight to keep Earth safe when aliens reveal the shocking origins of mankind ... and their evil intentions are uncovered. Dr Toby Jardine's much-derided theory of 'Intelligent Design' is proven correct when he takes part in a clandestine meeting with extra-terrestrials. The encounter aboard the USA's Orbital Construction Facility results in a sensational disclosure; an ancient race of highly intelligent super-rodents played God to create and exploit life on Earth as a food source. With Darwinism debunked and the world's religions undermined, the danger of worldwide upheaval is extreme. A worried US President decides the revelations, and the very existence of the aliens must be kept secret at all costs. But when Toby discovers the seemingly benign visitors have an evil ulterior motive for their visit, he and his colleagues are forced to take drastic action. The unarmed team on the facility must find a way to eliminate the threat while maintaining complete secrecy ... or risk plunging the population of Earth into chaos.

Paradise Blight by wdhenning

The first terraformed world, Tau Ceti Four, was now ready for colonization. Some called it Paradise, and it seemed a fitting name. The initial conditions before the terraforming began were perfect, too perfect for botanist Mora Torr. Something was not right. Engineer Gan Finn came over with the other colonists on the Ark Hope ship. He, like Mora, was as much running away from an anguished past as seeking Paradise. But twelve light-years distance itself does not cure broken hearts. "So, are there any alien jubjub birds, bandersnatches, or jabberwocks around here I should be worried about?" Laughter rolled from her mouth at the Alice in Wonderland reference. "Oh, nothing like that. It's not the big scary creatures we should worry about, besides other humans that is, but the tiny ones. History has shown us that things like bacteria, virus, and small parasites are the real killers. The deadliest creature in all the human history is a mosquito with a pathogen." ** Re-edited ** ** Open Novella II - Short List and Ambassador Pick ** ** Wattpad Editor's Choice (January 2020) **

Leila of the Woods [Book Five] by jplupine
