Under the Shadow of the Moon by aryawest

Luna Vis woke up one morning, or rather one night, to the dim light of the moon. It was a day that started like any other, but turned out unlike any other, setting off the chain reaction that set her life ablaze for a second time. For six years she had lived a new normal after her life was uprooted, but now everything was on the cusp of changing again. Almost exactly six years prior, the world as it was had changed entirely for half of the world. And over a century prior to that, the world had burned. The world burned in silver and in gold, and out of the ashes rose a phoenix: a new dawn for civilization. New cities, new ideas. New weapons. New... insurance policies. Now Luna and her friends are learning first hand what being on the front lines of a war is like. Now they are finally learning what it was the government had kept so secret for six years. Now it is all up to them, but more specifically, up to Luna to stop The Eye and the White Sand from ruining everything. Only months away from her sixteenth birthday, she is handed a purpose that may just be worth a sacrifice. Soon the world will be normal... whatever she chooses that to be.

Red Spring by TimNorwood

For thirty years the small colony on Mars has been ruled by the Alliance. The locals have now declared independence and are trying to create their own Martian society. It's a time of new beginnings, but powerful forces back on Earth want the planet back and the ballance of power is shifting... Ares is a soldier who dreams of home... Kaitlin works in a factory but wants to be an engineer... Roger's mother is a world leader but he likes to travel... Jack is beginning to think he's on the wrong side... Living through the war will change them all, as a new world is born... This is the story of ordinary people caught up in a conflict which will decide the future of the solar system. History is being written around them and each one will be called upon to play their part as events unfold...

RESCUE MODE by gavinh0

The first human mission to Mars meets with near-disaster when a meteoroid strikes the spacecraft, almost destroying it. The ship is too far from Earth to simply turn around and return home. The eight-person crew must ride their crippled ship to Mars while they desperately struggle to survive. On Earth, powerful political forces that oppose human spaceflight try to use the accident as proof that sending humans into space is too dangerous to continue. The whole human space flight program hangs in the balance. And if the astronauts can't nurse their ship to Mars and back, the voyagers will become either the first Martian colonists-or the first humans to perish on another planet.

The Abyss of Time by IanReeve216

Twenty years after the end of the Cyborg War, the last cyborgs try to hijack a starship on its way to terraform an alien world. They want the new colony to be a cyborg colony in which they will rebuild their strength and practice their way of life. During the fighting, though, the starship is damaged, so that instead of travelling light years across space it ends up a billion years in the future, alongside a planet Earth that is near the end of its life. The cyborgs, momentarily defeated, leave the ship in a captured landing craft and go down to the planet, but before they go they sabotage the ship so that it is no longer able to support life. The crew have no choice but to follow them down to the planet where they have to fight not just the cyborgs but also forms of life a billion years more evolved than humans. Creatures that have grown tough and hardy in an attempt to cope with the increasingly harsh conditions that prevail there. As if things weren't bad enough, there is conflict among the ship's crew as they fight to decide which of them will be in charge and how they will meet the challenges facing them, and even if they survive all this they will still have to deal with the discovery of the ultimate fate that awaits all intelligent life in the universe...

The Ship of the Unforgotten by GordMcLeod

The crew of the colony starship UTS Rose Dawn awaken after centuries in cryo-sleep to discover that most of their number died during the voyage. To make matters worse, one of the survivors isn't taking their current predicament well; not well at all. The remnants of the crew must work together with an untrustworthy computer to determine what's gone wrong and why if they're to have any hope of some sort of life out among the stars...

Differential by Btwins2

Different- 1) Not the same as another, or each other; Unlike in nature, form or quality. I thought being different was a good thing. You know, the whole 'Im not conforming to you' deal. I thought I was unique, my own person. Apparently not everyone thinks being different is a good thing. They're afraid of my difference. Maybe it's my long white hair? Or my glowing silver eyes? Or it could just be because.... I'm not fully human. I tried to keep it a secret. Really I did. I knew the consequence of something like this getting out. So my secret stayed a secret. All until the day the little girl walked out in front of the truck.

New Life: The Beginning Of A New Era by Elxuelxu

This is my 1st book in the series. Group of people are sent into another solar system to continue the human race, because Earth is doomed. As our characters land on a new planet, they will face threaths and few mysteries will rise. This was inspired by the show "The 100"!

NASA's Red trophy (shortened edition) by ElijahBooth2007

In a different universe where the Americans landed on the moon first. the Soviets continue to work towards the red planet before the Americans get there too, in the vast attempt to reach the red planet before eachother which leads to a boom in space interest with the general public. This causes NASA's budget to go higher than anytime before so NASA could make their weird and wild rockets that stayed on paper in our world, which causes downfall and uprising across the globe... maybe it would've been better that it didn't happen after all.
