What if there was a lie in your head? What if your entire life was never yours? And what if you could be erased in a second? 

Nineteen year old Lieutenant Warner has spent the entirety of his two-year career searching for the Core. The heart of the Titans; artificially-intelligent military robots that have ravaged the earth. 
Sol Hughes is an errand-boy at Embert Industries, the megacorporation that produces robots. One day, he overhears a conversation that changes his life, and nearly everyone else's. Forever. 

Sol makes a terrifying discovery that leads to him making a decision that could cost everything. Later, Warner's path crosses Sol's in the most unlikely of ways, and he gradually unravels the link between Sol's memories and the apocalypse. 

But is that enough to destroy the Core?

Paradigm Shift by Mavromichaelis

Killing-that's all he ever thinks about. . .there is an imposter on the ship who thinks he can save humanity by killing them. But how can he easily eradicate the human species? The quick answer: a biological weapon-alien if you will-that feeds off of human flesh. ***** After Taylor's home is destroyed on Titan (a habitable moon orbiting Saturn), he is forced to leave the only place he has known. However, during his travels, he stumbles upon government information explaining a declaration of war if Artemis Watson is not returned to its rightful owner. . . Artemis Watson, however, is an Android capable of human feelings (but his father, Doctor Peter Watson, does not know of his human capabilities). Soon, when a virus infects Artemis, he begins producing a biological weapon from his studies- -years before, a civil war broke out on Mars. Artemis discovered genetic mutants-aliens- stored in a warehouse on the outskirts of the war zone and since then has been working toward an evolutionary breakthrough. He is curious, but curiosity eventually killed the cat if not everyone. Cover: Evelyn @mortifero- (so far my absolute favorite cover)

Immune by AmyJohnson895

*THE UNEDITED VERSION* Beware of typos, errors, and general mistakes. This is a very, very rough draft. "I live in a place called Compound 4. We are one of ten different compounds placed at strategic locations around the US. It's been thirteen years since the virus overtook humanity, turning about ninety percent of us into zombies. I'm not sure how it started exactly; that's classified information. I do know that in order to save what was left of the human race, the president at the time took a bunch of really smart people and kids and relocated them into new 'protected' cities. My father was one of those really smart people. I was only five at the time, but I knew what was happening." Within the walls of the compound, Jay makes stupid mistakes, mistakes even she doesn't understand, putting everyone inside at risk. All because she can't shoot someone. All because she misses the wind in her hair, the flowers on the hillsides, the sound of crickets at night. All because she's different, the only person untouchable by the Virus. When the mistakes begin to duplicate, and a girl shows up who knows her name, everything begins to change in Compound 4. Highest rank in Science Fiction: #9

Hybrid: The Awakening by DuNdUnDUN2006

Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought. It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. And they are the ones in possession of it. When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.

Mason's Shadow | 18+ by livingtobeyou

I stop walking, turn around and sigh. "Mason, you're kind of a whore." "I mean I was going through a hard time." He gives me a playful grin "I'm not using that as an excuse though." "You know if you're having a hard time you can talk to someone."I say sincerely. "Not me though. I don't think I could handle talking to you for that long." Mason's eyes lock onto mine and he touches his heart. "April, you really know how to talk to a man. Sometimes I think you're more worried about me than the mission." I roll my eyes trying to remain my composure. "Well it wouldn't be good for me if my partner died now would it." He chuckles. "No, I guess not." April (26) and Mason (26) have worked together for years fighting crime for the organization Nexus. April tends to be snappy but anxious at the same time. While Mason is the complete opposite, he just goes with the flow. Their current mission is to take down 'Team X'. A notorious gang known for exploiting teens and getting them addicted to drugs. As they tackle this mission new emotions are coming into light and things are getting hot. Spicy scenes included 18+ 🌶️

Countd0wn by NuffSaid_TheScribe

(Highest Ranking: 14 in Science Fiction) 1 year ago, all of humanity was changed in an instant by an event known as the Singularity, a massive shockwave of energy that encompassed the entire planet. Anyone who was exposed to it was altered on a genetic level. Some were given extraordinary abilities and powers unlike anything ever seen before. Others were mutated into terrifying creatures that now roam the Earth as monsters. Civilization has now collapsed, and humans have become an endangered species. Wren Sawyer and his younger sister Ivy are two of those endangered beings, and struggle to survive in the remains of what was once their lives, but also manage to uncover a strange mystery that will unravel the terrible truth behind the Singularity...

HalfWorlder #Wattys2017 by HerringAli

(Highest rank #12 in sci-fi). When a dangerous ancient artifact hidden by the Egyptian gods activates after millennia, the long-dormant powers of a half-alien boy come alive just in time to save the Earth. But he never imagined winning over a girl would be harder than saving the world. And he may not even do that. THE LONG VERSION: Human life was hard enough for 17-year-old Gil Scott when his father suddenly disappeared from a temple dig. But when the half-alien teen uncovers a conspiracy surrounding the artifact his human dad was hunting, Gil must use his alien powers to track it down before it destroys the planet he calls home. With the help of a beautiful Oasen-human hybrid whose drive to succeed masks her private pain, Gil borrows his mom's spaceship, following the same clues across Egypt as his father. The teens battle strange weather phenomena and rising global panic as they race through the suffocating heat of the desert, through deluged ancient temples, and hidden libraries hiding more than just books. That is until it starts snowing on the Great Sphinx and they unearth a millennial-old message from Ra himself, addressed to Gil, with a choice that will affect everyone's future. Unraveling Ra's remaining clues, they rush to locate the powerful artifact in time. But Ra and the other ancient aliens' thousands-year-old, carefully mapped plan to save the Earth from the Aten has a fatal flaw, and their gamble may cost Gil the only life that will matter to him in the end. And possibly the planet itself. (Cover image: Photo of The Pyramids of Giza from Egypt combined with a Hubble image. Original photographer: Rom Srinivasan, 2005)
