"This quest for truth will only bring you more and more misery. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, and knowledge can only lead to further fear." Dr Mark Taylor wakes to discover that in the darkness, he has no idea where he is or how he got there. Yet the choices he makes that night unknowingly to him will lead to a maelstrom of events that he could never predict. Seventeen years later, documentary-maker Adam Hartmann and his team have completed filming the unique relationship between the Lyaelima People and The Bonobo Ape, in the rainforests of Congo. On their trek out of the jungle, they make a discovery which would change the fortunes of many lives, including their own. The events in the African jungle lead Adam's friend Duncan McCraith on a quest and in doing so, he unearths a past purposely hidden for fifteen years, including a dark philosophy encompassing the beliefs and actions of the mysterious 'Programme' - an organisation who prefers to remain in the shadows. What rapidly emerges is the darker side of humanity and the question of how far someone should go to uncover the truth, and as a consequence, how far people are willing to go to protect themselvesAll Rights Reserved

She wouldn't see him again for 10 years, when her parents' deaths brings him home. They have one last week together as he helps her close up her parents' place and mourn her loss, before he was back to Israel. But she wasn't going to let him go again and she follows him to Israel. And there she sees him with a wife and baby and she's ready to return home with her tail between her legs. But she's stopped by Ethan Levin, Ari's boss at Mossad, with an interesting offer, a chance, to help her people. So she packs up her life and moves to Israel, renouncing her American citizenship and becoming an Israeli citizen. From there she spends the next 6 years climbing the ladder to being one of the best agents Mossad has ever seen. When Ethan comes to her once more about a team he's assembling for a mission to get Ethiopian Jews away from the genocide ravaging their country and back to their promised home in Israel. When she finds out Ari is heading the team she is hesitant but Ethan convinced her to give it a shot and meet the rest of the team. How will it be when she sees Ari again? Will they be able to set their shared pasts behind them or will they blow their cover and potentially get themselves and the others killed?

Loss. Inexplicable loss. A loss you can't even grieve because no one else admits to it. After all, how can you grieve over something that was never really there? Or was it?

And she would do anything to finally marry the love of her life. Even if she has to hide her deepest, darkest secrets from everyone.

Dickhead Syndrome by imfullofpain

The story of bullying and romance and gangs. And abuse. It shows how any life can get out of hand. "My boyfriends father is choking me! Because I won't let him rape me!" Does she give in or not? "My family will be looking for you and me. They will come save me so you better let me go." "Your family isn't your family no more we hear that you have gone different paths is that not true. And before you lie. We have a lie detector here. And if anyone goes looking for you they will see your note that you will be gone for awhile." My fear started to eat at me. The overthrowing urge of vomiting came across my body. Does she get out or is she gone forever.

How to Climb the Chain by apsmiles1

Eleana is a troubled young woman. Surrounded by wealth, many think she has everything made. A perfect life, perfect grades, perfect in athletics. A bright future. But they don't see behind the scenes. They don't see the depression and sadness that plagues her. The scars that she bears. But perhaps her future isn't so clear. Perhaps it is shrouded with the unknown. Especially, when one day, she wakes up in an unfamiliar forest and finds her self surrounded by strangers. Psycho prisoners who wear masks to hide their identities. Prisoners of whom are all male and disgustingly twisted. Completely isolated from the outside world, how will she ever survive in this new world of beasts and deranged savages?

Marked by BlAckRosE7777777

Four unmarked survivors. One totalitarian government. A fight to keep their humanity intact. 100 years into the future, the E-91 virus has thrust the world into chaos. For Rachel Wilson, survival hasn't come easy. For the last fifteen years, she's lived in the wilderness, just out of reach of the Council of Nations. Until one day, poachers--the section of law enforcement tasked with hunting the Unmarked--raid her home and she is forced to go on the run. Weary from the attack, but certainly not broken, she ventures into a dangerous world with only her fiery determination to survive. In what appears to be a stroke of good luck, she is rescued by an underground movement working towards bringing down the capital or die trying. Death over mark, that had always been the mantra. Because the alternative-becoming a mind-controlled soldier to fight the capital's war-was a fate worse than death. ***What other readers are saying about Marked*** "You've done a wonderful job of creating and molding this couple into real people. Now, they practically breathe!" -thebirdwhisperer "This is incredible! I was holding my breath for a second there because everything was so good and the action felt so rea!!!" -titanic123 "I rarely comment as I'm not very good with words. But I have to tell you I enjoyed your book so much. I cried and laughed, bit my nails and rooted the characters on as if they were my family." -leenafrog

Hope can't remember what happened the night of the tragedy, but everyone assures her she couldn't have done anything to save her sister. Juliet Price has attended Redwood High since the beginning of sophomore year, but she's never spoken to Hope, Juliet doesn't fit in with her classmates as she wasn't born rich and she didn't grow up getting everything she wanted. The only reason Juliet is at the exclusive private school is because she's living with her wealthy aunt and uncle. Juliet knows what happened to Eleanor Flynn, most of the world does. The Flynn family are very wealthy and very famous. Even though Juliet and Hope have never spoken, Juliet can tell that Hope is acting weird and she doesn't think it's entirely because Eleanor is dead. When Juliet and Hope are brought together through a class project, Juliet starts to realize that Hope won't be able to start moving on unless she finds out what happened the night her sister died, and why she can't remember it. When the two start investigating, they realize that the truth is pointing to something dark. Almost everyone attending Redwood has secrets, and they'll do what it takes to keep them private.
