Jeremy Dixon had it all. A quaint countryside home, countless hours of endless fun, friends that he thought of as family, and a very likeable personality. But as he grew older and the time for him to go to university lurked, a harsh reality began to hit him; his entire life was about to be thrown on its head and everything he was so accustomed to, was about to change...in more ways than he'd ever expected. 

With only a week before his estranged mother's arrival to take him to Sydney, two factory meltdowns in Sydney and Adelaide hit the local news, causing concern after the outbreak of a revolutionary biological nanotechnology, known as H5S1. As the radioactive nerve agent spreads towards Crystal Brook and the rest of the country, harsh truths are learnt, and the world which Jem thought he knew so well begins to crash before his very eyes, leaving him, and everyone else, in search of answers. 

So join in on this epic journey of love, hate, war and sacrifice, and indulge in the twists and turns that await in the first book of the H5S1 trilogy, The Strain.All Rights Reserved

L.O.V.E. by denissebloom04

100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)

The World Of Steam by TomasBalciunas

London, 2068. This is my personal account of the events that had happened. A crisis had taken over the entire world. Gas. Steam. It was the industrial revolution all over again. War machines were powered by gas furnaces. Cars ran on coal. It was choking us. Slowly killing us. I could not breathe, the only thing that my tongue could taste was charcoal and ammonia. I realised that I had to do something about the situation that I was in, lest I die a slow and horrible death. No. It wasn't just me. 18 million lives were at stake. Time was against me. But then again...when was time ever my friend?
