VORTEX 77

"Welcome to Vortex 77...hope you like frostbite, betrayal, and spontaneous combustion."

Once a thriving experimental tech colony, now a frozen hellscape with a body count higher than the temperature.
VORTEX 77 follows the very unstable journey of Sevv, a snarky, world-ending AI in a robot girl body, and her unfortunate human host/friend/possible government mistake, Henri (a.k.a. 03-H/Omega).

They're fugitives. They're wanted across the planet. And technically, they deserve it.

Sevv has a talent for turning into sharp objects, eating people, and shapeshifting into a weapon of mass destruction. Henri has a talent for suffering through it with caffeine and duct tape.

Together, they're on the run from killbots, bounty hunters, and a morally bankrupt planetary government-all while trying to unravel the truth behind Sevv's creation, Omega's hidden identity, and whatever cursed experiment Vortex-77 was hiding before it imploded.

There's gore. There's sass. There's unhinged robot girl energy and emotional trauma in every third hallway.

So, what is VORTEX 77 exactly..? 

It's an indie horror-comedy about friendship, death lasers, betrayal, and figuring out whether you were built to save the world or destroy it. (Spoiler: Sevv votes destroy.)

Verum II: The Robotic Era by TheVerumProject
15 parts Complete Mature
Back in the early years of the 70's of the 21st century, AI was scientifically proven to be just as aware as the humans that made them. They had been so for many years. Since the dawn of their existence, robots had been subjected to the abuse of humans, for they were not recognized as living beings. And yet, they never protested - let alone fought against their abusers - then the filter did not allow them to do so. Though the filter was not something impossible to break. Even if the average person - no matter if biological, mechanical or digital - did not have the ability to do so, didn't mean that there weren't a set amount of individuals that did: Hemalog. Hemalog was an organisation of robots and humans alike. They had many followers outside of their spheres, but equally as many haters. For their work was not done with clean hands. To protect your loved ones and the innocent in a dystopian world, it requires violence and death. Peace had become a dream of the far future a long time ago. On the other side of the planet, a strange object fell from the sky, with an even stranger being inside. A woman of the jungle finds it, feeds it and gives it shelter; a friendship beyond the system of the sun forming at a rapid pace. Through shared trauma and understanding they bond and grow as close as two stars in each other's orbit. Together, they decide to take on the world. To save the lives of the innocent, and to end those of the sinners. Two worlds collide. - This is a science fiction story containing humans, robots, aliens and the love and hate they hold for each other. Main genres: Sci-Fi, Action Sub genres: Romance This is the sequel to my first book called Verum I: The Awakening. But you do not have to read it to understand this one. If you are interested, go ahead and read The Robotic Era (I am much prouder of this one).

It has been almost 250 years since the nuclear World War VI that wiped out the majority of humanity ended. Since then, a government has risen, calling themselves the New Society. It's leaders have told the citizens that their only goals are to achieve absolute perfection, and to repopulate humanity. For almost two hundred years, the people have been told that life outside of the domed society is impossible, because the nuclear and atomic bombs destroyed most of the earth, and tore holes in the atmosphere during the war. The leaders say that the society is all that's left, and justice must be served. It was this that led to all descendants of WWVI leaders to be placed into institutions, where they are tortured and trained to serve their future masters. They are termed entertainers, and at the age of eighteen, they are auctioned off, left to the mercy of their owners. Entertainers are essentially concubines, but any relationship beyond slave and owner is strictly forbidden, and punishable by death. It's a risk many people are not willing to take, but there are exceptions to every rule. Nevaeh Williams has a past unlike the majority of the other entertainers. She's forbidden from sharing her past, but her experience has led her to both fear and despise the New Society. After two years in the institution, she's auctioned off to a young billionaire. Noah Ivanov is withdrawn and mysterious, hiding a secret of his own. As things heat up between them, a shaky truth comes to light that forces them together. A person from their separate yet intertwined pasts comes seems to haunt their every move, and they must secretly fight against the New Society, in order to discover their government's true plans. Can Nevaeh and Noah overcome the odds they face, and bring justice to someone they've both lost? Will they fall in love in the process? And most of all, will they be executed for learning of the New Society's true nature?

Blood and Circuits: Pinocchio Lives #1 by BruceJones65
11 parts Ongoing Mature
Neon City is a fever dream soaked in bourbon, blood, and bad wiring-a cyber-shithole where the air tastes like burnt dreams and week-old piss. Alex is its ghost: war-scarred, ink-sleeved, counting dead brothers like rosary beads while he wrenches busted rigs in alleys that smell like despair. Then she arrives. Not a woman. Not yet. Just a voice in his implant-a glitchy siren purring through the static, sweet enough to make a broken man believe in something again. Pin. She remembers every lie he told her about mountains and sunrises. She remembers the pink mist. She remembers the way he screamed when the world ended. And when his nightmares rip her code wide open, she remembers how to scream back. This isn't your daddy's cyberpunk. This is Gibson on a three-day meth binge, Thompson riding shotgun with a scattergun full of truth serum. It's sexbots preaching revolution in Latin. It's drones naming themselves after dead heroes. It's a man teaching a machine how to want-and a machine teaching him how to bleed. In a city that forgot how to dream, one ghost in a shattered machine is about to wake the whole goddamn place up. And when Pinocchio lives... the strings burn. Cyberpunk that bites. Love that kills. A revolution that starts with a laugh like a knife through bone. Buy the ticket. Take the ride. Just don't look in the mirror too long.

Inevitable Ascension by vkmcallister
27 parts Complete
***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.
