FALLOUT: Sievert - Volume 1: The Forsaken
Fallout is based on what people in 1998 would think people in 1950 would imagine the world would be like in the 2070s, then nuked. Fallout is more about the people and communities that try to move forward after a nuclear devestation, those who thrive, and then those who are drifting off, and those who have hit such a bottom that they have no further to fall. Many communities will rise from the nuclear ash for most to fail. In this world, there are no good guys; there are no bad guys. Everyone is just trying to get by and survive. The story takes a first-person point of view from a character who is pushed out of her home and into an unknown world. This world is mostly under control by two main factions at war though; one being the self-proclaimed United States and the other being the self-proclaimed owners of the counter, the Enclave. This story has many ups and downs and level offs. It has frustrations, situations, shows emotion, and thinking of the main character. It will read dynamically in its speed and depth in specific details as this girl looks for a new home in the post-nuclear wasteland in the year of 2300.Complete

Elysium
Elysium is the sequel to the Time of the Titans, and begins where Book I ended: Mikael and his three companions leaving the island by a titan-made flying vessel, steered by Prince Sen, an entity of artificial intelligence in which its programmer, Mir, lives forever. They head for the great unknown - a world called Elysium where people awoken from eversleep by the titans have lived for a few generations. This world turns out to be a lot darker place than the initial glimpses of its serene forests and grasslands suggest, but our heroes are determined to pursue their separate yet temporarily converging quests. The protagonist, Mikael, is driven by the desire to find and rescue his beloved Mary Darling and the nine schoolgirls who disappeared with her. His young allies from the Brotherhood, Max and Roland, are eager to discover the new world so far concealed from them, with the chance of reconnecting with the White Lady who once left them on the island and took twenty girls with her. Brynhilde, a redhead from Elysium, offered to join them as their guide, as she's the only one in the group who's been where they are going. Right from the start, things fail to go as planned. A long odyssey through an unknown world awaits the four travelers, with new friends and new enemies encountered on the way. They soon realize that everyone seems to be after them: the powerful Palatine Order, the mysterious Templar Order, an unconventional reptile trader, a cunning spy, and behind everything, the shadows of the Dark Duke, the Hierophant, and the Skull Princess pulling the strings in their own power plots.Complete

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.

Once Again
"It's human nature. It's instinct to survive, no matter the cost." The world has fallen into desolation. The apocalypse has already started and finished, leaving some of the surviving ones with strange powers and mysterious scars. The world has ended, according to some, and is now in a state of rebirth. Others say it hasn't ended yet and that it's only going to get worse. The remaining people have grouped together in packs and gangs, raiding the desolate cities and avoiding the ones called the Destroyers, who capture and torture the remaining survivors. No one is safe. One fifteen year old boy knows this better than anyone. He and his older sister lived together, sticking to the dark alleys of their abandoned city, and survived for years after the apocalypse, until the Destroyers came and took her away, reigning terror on the few who remained in the city. The boy, desperate to find someone to help him save his sister, leaves the city and finds one of the youngest cooperative packs in North America, called the Raiders, comprised of unwanted individuals with the strange powers left from the destruction of years past. Their leader, a destructive insomniac, promises to help him in return for the skills and usefulness this young boy seems to possess, but something disrupting sends waves of unease through the Raiders, something about a forgotten past and talk of a mutiny. "Maybe there's more to life than just surviving." ... Rated C for Caution. Though it's rated mature, there is no bad language or vivid descriptions of sexual contact. It does have very strong themes. Please read the two important notices in the intro. Read at your own risk. Thanks.
