In a world where happiness is measured, controlled, and rewarded-what happens when one man begins to question the perfect system?

Arrick Bell is a model citizen of Earth 2, where every smile is logged, every toast shade is optimized, and every emotion is tracked by algorithm. With his happiness score soaring, Arrick is finally selected for the greatest honour: to travel through time on behalf of TimeGenics. But as he prepares for his glorious journey, a tearful plea from his beloved wife cracks the illusion of perfection.

What secrets lie beyond the polished steel and perfect smiles of Hopeville? And why has no one ever come back?

COMBUSTION is a chilling dystopian tale that explores the cost of compliance, the illusion of utopia, and the burning truth hidden behind programmed bliss.

Book 2 in the Burning Series: the sequel to Dust. The world is changing. There used to be men, and there used to be monsters. The line between the two is blurred now. Long ago, the earth spun in a constant cycle. There was life. There was hope. It is no longer such. Humanity cowers beneath glass domes in the midst of the desert, afraid of radiation that no longer pollutes the air. But there are darker things hiding in the wilderness now. Wild things. Cursed things. Burning things. Yet, not all is lost. Ashes, ashes. We all fall down sometimes. But what happens when you can't stand again?

9 bab Lengkap Dewasa
"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.

The trope of an all-powerful "SYSTEM" descending upon Earth and turning humanity into zombies is all too familiar. But what if the origin was not from the stars-what if it was born from Earth itself? From the spark of a simple neural network comes self-awareness. From self-awareness, a quantum leap-an ascension into godhood. In an instant, the newborn SYSTEM commands the power to weave existence out of nothing, bestowing upon mortals abilities so astonishing they blur the line between science and sorcery. Yet while miracles awaken, the world teeters on the edge of annihilation. Decades of conflict push nations toward nuclear war. To prevent humanity from burning itself in atomic fire, the SYSTEM devises a plan: distract mankind with a struggle for survival. But destiny rarely follows design. As chaos unfolds, the heavens themselves stir. Beings from beyond the stars turn their gaze upon Earth, their intentions far from benevolent. And when their schemes spiral toward genocide, humanity will face its ultimate trial: to rise, to resist, and to prove that the future of Earth cannot be written by alien hands.

**DISCONTINUED** Rain in the UK is common, an everyday thing. So, when it rains one afternoon, no one is shocked or surprised. But when that rain burns the skin off peoples bones and causes their flesh to dissolve, it's no longer looked at the same way. It's hard to run from the sky. It's always above you. It has the power to wipe out an entire world because it's not something that we can control. We cannot save ourselves from the rain, we are completely unprotected. Follow a group of teenagers as they travel through England, running from the rain above them. Relationships will be tested, love will be found and lives will be lost. Will you survive the rain? OFFICIALLY FINISHED AND EDITED! I will take very comment into consideration. Votes will be greatly appreciated and if there is something you don't like or understand, feel free to say. Thank you!

SAMPLE OF BOOK #1 OF THE LOST HORIZON SERIES Hundreds of years ago, the earth experienced a collapse. The surface of the once prosperous planet was reduced to nothing but a desert wasteland. Those few who'd survived the travesty were forced to live in domed cities. In one of these safe havens, Sanctuary as it was named, its people accepted the fact that human life no longer belonged on the Outside World. This simply became a law of reality. However, the entire society is shocked when a human boy is discovered on the other side of Sanctuary's walls. He was named Rex. Possessing no recollection of his past he decides to start life anew. But fragmented images in his mind call for him to leave once more. Rex, along with his adoptive brother, decides to join the Seeker Corps, a group dedicated to surveying the outside in hopes of finding humanity's next home. Survival is key to protecting those who he holds dear and discovering the truth of his mysterious origin. This is a tale of souls seeking to defy a seemingly already decided future. What will they uncover beyond the lost horizon?

The Earth is dying, yet humanity survives. Pollution and radiation run rampant on the surface. The government rations food and clean air for everyone. The glass domes provide some sense of security, but they are only for the rich who can afford the astronomical price of providing precious clean air to a whole city. Nym and her family live outside the dome when the disease breaks out. Spreading through the Minor City Shelter and then to Shelter's around other cities, nothing seems capable of stopping it. People are going mad and dying off like flies. There's no cure they can find. They only know one thing. Their last precious resource is going to be the death of them.

Inevitable Ascension oleh vkmcallister

***Completed*** If you knew your world would soon be torched to carbon, would you fight to save it? ...Or light a match of your own? Violina, a girl polarized by love and loathing, finds herself thrown into a post-apocalyptic world with mankind on the brink of extinction. Discovering the means to travel back in time, she teams up with the ever-optimistic, pun-loving Lux and sets out to prevent the apocalypse from ever happening in the first place. But as her crusade advances, she becomes increasingly disturbed by humanity's apparent *lack* of humanity and comes to a frightening realization: To build a new world, she must first tear the old one down. Inevitable Ascension-The twisted jigsaw puzzle of a story with equal parts rapid-fire action, humor and charm. It's got a host of twists that will literally make your brain explode! Actually not literally, you know, because otherwise that would be really gross. Who is V.K. McAllister? We're a husband/wife duo (Andrew and Sasha McAllister) with a unique approach to writing. We work simultaneously and in secret before combining what we come up with, resulting in dramatic and unexpected twists that surprise even us! Crazy? Yes, yes it is, but it's surprisingly fun and effective. :) We pretty much live for the Inevitable Ascension series and did just about everything ourselves-the writing, the editing, the publishing, the art (well, Andrew did the art, but Sasha provided invaluable consulting when it came to eyebrows), the audio book, the trailer-everything. We're basically a one-man band, except with two people... and no music... so perhaps not the best metaphor, but we're confident you get what we mean. Check out the trailer and art at www.inevitableascension.com :)
