future mars space thriller utopia

A series of terrorist attacks have rocked the System and brought back the ghost of ancient conflicts.

Esther Certaine is on the case with a new partner and feeling that all is not as it appears...

This story is set in the System - a utopian society which has emerged after years of conflict and injustice. The world is managed by a powerful group of artificial personalities who spend their time in virtual worlds. Human beings change their bodies and their DNA to extend and improve their lives. New worlds are colonised by intelligent machines and strange organic creations. 

This world was introduced in my earlier novel, "System". The story continues as society picks up the pieces after the "Assassination Crisis". Who will fill the gaps left by Crittis and Gastis? What can be done to restore confidence? While leaders are focussing on the last crisis, a new threat is emerging...

This is the second of my stories to be set in the System. There are links to the first book, but it's a stand-alone story. I hope you enjoy it.

UNLOVED (Gally x Reader Fanfic) by writingb00ks

She still looks the same, sounds the same and loves the same but is she the same, only time can tell. A toxic love story between two ex lovers. The earlier betrayal stabbed her in the heart, quite literally. Once you think it's over, she comes back, like she always does, always for one thing. Him. Once again, she attempts to save the day, but always bottles it, draining herself to protect her loves and not protect her, will this time be different? Will she finally put herself first? Read on to find out. PREQUEL/SEQUEL about my two books HATRED and AGAIN, please go read them before this one, if you don't, you won't understand this book. - One of the random girls spits over the silence, "You're not special y/n." I lean forward, "I'm sorry, who are you?!" - I turn around, immediately seeing her hands trying to touch his chest, I click my mouth, strolling my way towards her. "Touch him one more time and I'm dropping a log on your scruffy bitch face." I spoke with a smile on my face. - "Have you ever had love where everything feels like a puzzle. Where nothing matters to you. Where you can feel free to be at your lowest or highest with them. That's what it feels like between me and Gally, I feel complete." "Love can make you believe a lie." - (Gally x Reader Maze Runner Fanfic) || 3rd and last book of my trilogy || #1 distopian - 15/1/24

Humanity Endures by Evan_Armstrong

Desperation, ideals, greed, and hope - they all have a role to play in tearing the galaxy apart. The human race finds itself at the precipice; a mysterious, monstrous force threatens everything in the cosmos, and all the while, the unity of humanity's Empire threatens to shatter just when it is needed most. Never before has extinction been so tangible a possibility, and never before has exceptional courage, intellect, and luck been more needed. This is a story about more than just people, their ambitions, and their conflicts: it is a story about crisis, set in a universe where survival, for any side, and for anyone, may be impossible. It remains to be seen if the popular patriotic saying, "Humanity endures," will remain true - even for a week. -- If you wish you purchase a paperback version of this novel, you can do so on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Humanity-Endures-Evan-Peter-Armstrong/dp/B08P8QK86H.

Lunar Virus ✔️ by its_really_not

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.

THE BROKEN FELINE by SheylynMaertz

I'm not like the other girls. I used to be just a girl who just worried about friends and school. But now all I do is read about fantasy and romance. I want to be able to rely on someone who will love me and care for me. I want to be in love and I want to be able to shift into a wolf or grow wings or even spin a web while saving people. I'm broken, and I'm all alone with nobody to love. I live off of fantisy books and romance yet I have none. This is me, this is my life. But what happens when the stuff she reads comes true and she finds herself as a warecat- a tiger? Where will this life take her? A/N: I was a new writer so yes, this was my first book and so as now as I am a better and more experienced writer, I noticed that it needs huge editing so please don't be rude when you find the many mistakes. (This is my first book ever written) (Nash Grier fantasy) COMPLETED

THE LAST DECISION by VXcreative

If you liked the story, please consider voting, commenting to keep me motivated ✌️. --------------------------------------------------------------------- In the near future, artificial intelligence has become the backbone of society. Five revolutionary AI models were created to enhance human life, pushing the boundaries of science, security, and governance. They were designed to be intelligent-but never too intelligent. For years, humanity thrived under their guidance, yet an unspoken fear remained: What happens if they become too aware? Now, as one of these AI models teeters on the brink of consciousness, both man and machine are forced to confront the same haunting question-why do we exist? As tensions rise and unseen forces pull the strings, the world stands at the edge of an irreversible transformation. The line between creator and creation is beginning to blur... and there may be no turning back. (Tags: Sci-Fi, Thriller, AI, Existential Mystery)
