ARC10
[Book 1 of the ARC10 Trilogy] **Winner of the 2017 Watty Storysmith award** The President created an underground safe-haven for the survivors of the alien invasion. He built it to save them all from total annihilation. He protects them, feeds them, keeps them under his ever-watchful gaze so they can live. All he asks is that they obey. Captain Janika Lorn doesn't want to obey. Not if it means spreading her legs and contributing to the President's precious eugenics program. As a perfect candidate for the Human Hope Project, she is obligated by law to make more citizens for the dying society. But all she wants is her freedom to fight the Invaders and protect the people who already exist. If the mandated program wasn't bad enough, the worst part is trying to fulfill it with Captain Dean Freyer, her scientifically matched partner and best friend of sixteen years. Just as Captain Lorn is about to succumb to her fate, another opportunity arises. A mysterious commanding officer asks her to lead a human refugee ship--to save humanity by evacuating the destroyed Earth and shuttling the remaining population to a new habitable exoplanet 400 light years away. The mission is perilous. Especially because now, standing between her and her freedom is the hostile alien hosts of her ship, the ARC10, a sister returned from the dead, an array of impossibly confusing alien tech, a rekindled heat between her and Dean, and a sexy militia chief she can't seem to keep her hands off of. ARC10 is a romance-heavy sci-fi with the speculative horror of Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and the military action of Battle: Los Angeles. Cover art by @FayLane Copyright © 2016 by LL MontezComplete
The Unwilling Protagonist
Everyone knows about the isekai scenario: someone living a normal life in their world dies or gets magically transported to a whole new world, usually one full of fantasy, magic, otherworldly beings that exist in myth, and of course, a life full of adventure, excitement, and friends. Alongside this, the newly-reincarnated or summoned individual must embark on a quest to save the world or gain fortune and glory in the land as "the Hero of the Realm", or some shit like that. This story is no different from all of that; Y/N goes through their daily life until one day, he awakens in this new world and is told that he is the hero who will save the world. This new life for Y/N would be cool and all, if not for one major problem: he hates it. Let's see how this goes, hmm?Complete
