Earth, After ✔️ by talia-v

Some fates are worse than death--survival is one of them. In the two hundred years since humanity left the Earth's surface to live in the sky, life on the ground faded to a myth, a tragic memory from which they severed themselves to survive. They floated above continents turned to sand and lands swallowed by the seas, watched storm after storm rage against their cities and their monuments until they broke apart the last vestiges of civilization in penance for generations of human greed. As a lightning harvester charged with flying her ship into these storms for energy, Raina has seen more of the planet than most. She has spent her entire life soaring above its craters and scars, studying the gaping wounds of human devastation, as she honed her skills and became the youngest captain in storm-chaser history. Her ship has flown for generations. Her skills are unparalleled. But none of that matters the day they go down. ~ Praise for Earth, After: "I'm so not ready for this ending.

Suits Versus Healer by marsaumell

| Game of Thrones fanfic becomes Sci-Fi book | Slow-Burn Double Love Triangle | Would you change your body for a robotic one? ❈ ❈ ❈ Mia Tan, a relentless healer, wants to save her hometown colony, Purple Rock, from a merciless, deadly illness. To her dismay, this mysterious plague has driven some to seek salvation in robotic bodies or "suits", forsaking their humanity and their freedom. The company which produces them casts a long and ominous shadow. The small print requires these people to become slaves to rich humans, making their world more totalitarian than it is. That's why Mia embarks on a quest to find a cure and get that company out of business. In the colony of Two Dawns, Mia's path intertwines with James De Jong, son of the Lord Commander and a once-promising astroguard of the Cosmos Elite Patrol. An accident left James in a wheelchair, wielding bitterness like a shield. A suit could ease his suffering―or just swap it for another kind of hell. But fate has other plans. As James becomes Mia's protector and she tends to his rehabilitation, James finds hope in her caring hands. Yet, their growing passion ignites a dangerous fire as they uncover the shocking truth behind the pandemic―while surviving death threats and navigating between a blossoming infatuation with Patrick (James' brother) and Vanessa's rekindling fire (a former fling). Join Mia and James on a heart-pounding journey where the fate of the colonies hangs in the balance, and the lines between humanity and technology blur. The clock is ticking. In a world of intrigue and health uncertainty, no one's fate is certain―especially when forced to choose between love and duty. ❈ ❈ ❈ 🌟 Sci-Fi | Action | Romance ✅ A WattpadCreators WIP 😁 Updates every Thursday 🔥 Ethical issues: life-extension techniques MATURE due to swearing, discrimination, violence, and sex.

Marked by BlAckRosE7777777

Four unmarked survivors. One totalitarian government. A fight to keep their humanity intact. 100 years into the future, the E-91 virus has thrust the world into chaos. For Rachel Wilson, survival hasn't come easy. For the last fifteen years, she's lived in the wilderness, just out of reach of the Council of Nations. Until one day, poachers--the section of law enforcement tasked with hunting the Unmarked--raid her home and she is forced to go on the run. Weary from the attack, but certainly not broken, she ventures into a dangerous world with only her fiery determination to survive. In what appears to be a stroke of good luck, she is rescued by an underground movement working towards bringing down the capital or die trying. Death over mark, that had always been the mantra. Because the alternative-becoming a mind-controlled soldier to fight the capital's war-was a fate worse than death. ***What other readers are saying about Marked*** "You've done a wonderful job of creating and molding this couple into real people. Now, they practically breathe!" -thebirdwhisperer "This is incredible! I was holding my breath for a second there because everything was so good and the action felt so rea!!!" -titanic123 "I rarely comment as I'm not very good with words. But I have to tell you I enjoyed your book so much. I cried and laughed, bit my nails and rooted the characters on as if they were my family." -leenafrog

When I Look Up At The Stars by CoffeeGirl_10

〚FEATURED + WATTYS SHORTLIST 2021〛 Someone tried to kill him. Someone nearly succeeded. A traitor walks among them. The question is, who? ⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒ "A sky full of stars and he was looking at her." He was a man with a deep and profound love for the stars, while she was the angel of the stars and sky. She was one of the few that remained, watching over the earth and fighting to preserve goodness, while he was a trained hitman- surrounded by great darkness that he never wished to be a part of, but attracted because of his job. But maybe- just maybe, that was why she chose to save him in the first place. Because as an angel of the stars and sky it was only natural for her to know that stars can't shine without darkness. ⭒⭒⭒⭒⭒ [ #1 in GuardianAngel | #1 in Astronomy | #2 in Paranormal | #1 in stars ] [ featured on the official Wattpad Adventure Account, under the 'Romantic Getaways' list ! ] ©All rights reserved, available only on Wattpad [ Cover images do not belong to me, all rights reserved by original owners ]
