First, we built across...
Then we built up...
Then we built down...
What happens... When we run out of Space?
The Future. Jade learned about how long ago, people looked forward to the future, thought about all the bright times it would bring. Now, everyone looks back at that and laughs. The "bright future" brought everything but bright times. The world's population continued to grow larger and larger. We just didn't know when to stop. That forced us to up construction and expand cities until the entire planet was a giant utopia, with only a few areas set aside for artificial farming, mining, and manufacturing. But even then, we eventually began running out of room. So we built skyscrapers, as tall as they could possibly be without getting in the way of planes. We stacked skyways on top of each other. When we ran out of room there, we built giant tunnels underground, buildings with tons of basements, so deep they kept going until it was too hot to go any further. Then the resources started dwindling. But the population did not rest. Overpopulation is eminent, and there seems to be no solution. But the government has a different plan...
Jade, Adriana, Percy, and Lane, friends from Pixus High School, are chosen for a special assignment by the secret government program called S.A.T.R.A.P., the Space And Time Relocation Advancement Program. It's mission is to discover and explore new places for humans to settle across the dimensions of space and time. Hesitant but eager, they accept. But as it progresses, they realize this project may be more than meets the eye. S.A.T.R.A.P. has a plan to stop the overpopulation problem in its tracks, one that means a restart for the world and everything in it. It's an inhumane experiment, and they're the first test subjects...

Their journey of discovery takes dangerous turns, but by the time they understand what they are dealing with they realize that they have gone too far to abandon their pursuit. They are joined by a girl from a very different kind of society who shares one undeniable factor with them. Together, they make a discovery that changes everything they thought they knew about their world, the universe, and themselves. They begin to understand why they were given the clues that led them to the discovery, and, more importantly, who put them in their path. They are made an offer; their choice would be a determining factor in the fate of their world. The risks involved, should they accept, will be great - but refusing would tear their souls apart. *** "It happens, from time to time, that when the cards you hold are few and of little value, Destiny takes your hand and leads you down a path you would never have expected."Lengkap

A Legend Reborn.
The Golden Age- When the Traveler arrived, a time of peace, prosperity, and infinite possibility sprouted from Earth. Mankind had launched hundreds- if not, thousands- of journeys across the system, connecting Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, even Mercury into an increasingly large web of life and technology. Fast forward to the end of the Golden Age- The Collapse and the Dark Age- alien races surge forth from outside the system- the Eliksni, the Hive, The Cabal, The Vex- all coming for the Traveler. He fought them all, sending his Light, his Power out, crushing the opposition. Then, He was crippled, retreating to a small town. Fast forward to the beginning of our age- The City Age- With His dying breath, The Traveler created the Ghost- small machines that can revive those capable of wielding the Light- His Power- and fight the Darkness. The Hunters scout out terrain, reclaim Dead Zones, and are the eyes and ears of the City- the Warlocks research the secrets of the fundamental ideas of the Darkness, predict future events, and enthrall themselves in the workings of the Light to understand it and to find new ways to work it into the Guardians arsenal- and finally, the Titans, Defenders of the Last City, and the burning lights of hope in the shadows. Honor-driven. Leaders. Warriors. The Protectors of Humanity. Deeply intertwined in the history of the Last City. What happens when one is reborn and becomes one of the few able to wield the flame of hope as his own, to burn off the shackles of darkness that have been crushing humanity's will and hope to dust, What happens when he experiences so much tragedy, so much pain, that he delves into the shadows? What happens, when he finally snaps? And what happens to his loved ones when they are forced to put him down? And what will his Legend become, if he himself threatens the safety of the Last City. --------------- Thanks go out to the wonderful girl that most would know as @ShadowPine for the Cover art. Thanks Kobi!!!!Lengkap
Post Plague Kidnapping - Published!
It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in.

Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable.

From Darkness Comes - Book 2 in the Ash and Ember Series
She survived the end. But it's only the beginning. Ever thought escaping Earth meant survival. Instead, it meant sacrifice. She lost her parents, her sister, and the two boys she loves-left behind to an uncertain fate. Now, on a distant planet she never asked to call home, Ever reunites with the brother she thought was dead. But this new world is not the refuge it promised to be. Her sister's haunting last words echo in her mind: "Your friends may be your foes, and your foes may be your only chance for survival." With her memories fractured by reimaging, Ever struggles to tell truth from illusion, ally from enemy-even within herself. As a genetically modified human, she carries a dangerous secret: she may be the only woman capable of creating life. To Environettix, the ruthless corporation pulling the strings, that makes her their most valuable-and most vulnerable-target. And she isn't the only one. The other Mods brought from Earth are caught in the same web of lies, their very existence exploited for an agenda darker than they ever imagined. But the planet itself holds secrets of its own. And Ever is beginning to realize a chilling truth: they don't belong here. And when something doesn't belong, it's only a matter of time before it's erased. *This is Book 2 in The Ash and Ember Series

The Way It Is
I am not from this planet. Hell, I am technically not from this galaxy. However, that doesn't change the fact I am here now, and my job is to save what I can on this forsaken planet and what's left of its inhabitants. The problem is that not everyone wants to be saved. I know what you're thinking. You can't save those who don't want to be saved. I bloody well agree. The ones who sent me don't care what you or I think, though. All they care about is numbers. They need a certain success rate to continue to get funding for their "expeditions" and "peacekeeping" efforts. I use both terms loosely here. However, that's what they put on their records, and it's what sounds good and looks suitable to their investors. So this is the way it's going to be. So be it! Oh, did I forget to mention the Universe decided I was the lucky girl to help find the one person who could save us all from self-destruction? Yea, that is a shitty idea, but once again, no one cares what I think.Lengkap
