TWO DEAD CLIMATOLOGISTS
When eminent climatologist Dr Dale Stanton - in the process of studying the Atlantic Ocean's Thermohaline Circulation - is found dead in his London apartment, environmental lawyer Robert Spire is given the task to administer a large legacy left to global warming organisations. The job should have been straightforward, until a second climatologist, Dr Jack Bannister drops dead on the other side of the Atlantic.
AN INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY
Spire's client - suspicious of her son's death - asks him to travel to San Francisco to investigate Dr Jack Bannister's death. Whilst there, he meets French Climatologist Professor Francois Trimaud who is working on a geoengineering project to seed the Arctic Ocean with an experimental substance - the aim, to prevent, or at least slow the Arctic's melting ice. Spire soon discovers that someone has other plans for the region and wants the climatologists dead at all costs.
A LOOMING ECOLOGICAL DISASTER
As evidence of increased glacial melt in Greenland and reduction in the Arctic ice mounts, Spire becomes determined to join Trimaud on the research vessel, Mercure Blanc on a joint US/French expedition to the Arctic. He soon finds however, that the lives of all on board are in peril as he discovers a plan that threatens to push the Arctic to its tipping point and the Earth to disaster...

Left For Dead [malec fanfiction] [complete]
"Are you coming with me or not?" "To where? Where are we going to go, Magnus? We're in the middle of the goddamn zombie apocalypse. Everyone we know is dead. Dead or Turned." Magnus fixed his gun over his shoulder and smiled broadly. "We can go wherever we like, Alexander. There's no rules anymore. We're all just skin and bones." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The year is 2025. Five years ago, a deadly disease was released worldwide that reanimates the dead and turns them into flesh eating corpses. Once bitten, you turn into one them. First comes the fever. Then comes death. Then the reanimation. The news will tell you to stay inside. Don't listen. They will tell you to go to an evacuation center. Don't go. They will tell to stay in large groups to ensure safety. That's not always the case. No place is safe, only safer. Either you survive or you die. Or else you're left for dead. Your choice. All characters besides my own © of Cassandra Clare. They deserved so much better.Complete
女神们想入住：最后的庇护所
The sun goes rogue, the earth's temperature soars, and lakes evaporate-along with a deadly radiation pouring from the sky. Humanity's fight for survival turns brutal, as even a bottle of water or a loaf of bread becomes a reason to kill. Wei Ming, once a victim of betrayal and murder at the hands of his girlfriend's family, finds himself reborn six months before the apocalypse. With the power of a mysterious spatial ability that lets him store endless supplies, he's ready to turn the tables. He uses insider knowledge to win big in the World Cup betting, empties the polar ice caps, and takes advantage of a world on the brink of collapse. While others swelter in the scorching heat, Wei Ming sits comfortably in his underground shelter, enjoying the coolness of the melting ice, pondering whether he should feast on steak, lobster, or roast duck today. And as for his scheming, backstabbing ex-girlfriend and her family? Wei Ming has a personal vendetta, and they'll soon regret crossing him.![A COMPLICATED PACK [STEREK] [Boyxboy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/83169169-256-k531923.jpg)
A COMPLICATED PACK [STEREK] [Boyxboy]
Forgive me this is my first book This is an au after season 2: The alpha pack does not exist, Jackson not leaving, Erica and Boyd alive and Peter is not as evil as everyone thought. This is a (ill try and make it a slow one) sterek story. The hale house is renovated and there are lots of pack feels. I don't own teen wolf or the characters. Because if I did, I wouldn't be channeling my hormones via Wattpad, now would I? The Pack: Stiles Stilinski Derek Hale Scott McCall Alison Argent Cora Hale Peter Hale Jackson Whittmore Lydia Martin Erica Reyes Vernon Boyd Danny Mahealani Isaac Lahey Side Characters (I will add as I post): John Stilinski/ The Sheriff Dr Deaton Sean Koles Kate Koles Ron Koles Kron Koles Effle Koles Eugenia Koles Lara Salas I'd like to dedicate this one to Jeff Davis: Without you pissing me off so much, I wouldn't of made this so thank you.

Eyes of Time: The Prophecy ✓
The Doctor has never traveled alone. He's always had one constant companion not including the TARDIS. The one that made him tell the stories. His Bondmate, his wife - the Alchemist, disappeared shortly before the war, but he saw her in the battles. Now, 100 years after it ends, she's back. She has a lot to tell him, and it won't be easy on either of them. Everything you recognize... I probably don't own it. Each book contains a particular Doctor's storyline. Each series is separated by its series casting introductions. WARNING: Not marked mature for smut reasons but for triggering ones. I have a lot of triggers in these books; please make sure you read the trigger warning list I have left in the first 'Casting' chapter!Complete

LAURA, a descendant of the Originators, has always known she owns this puzzle, this responsibility. Laura has internalized this lifelong burden; in turn, she's developed a dissociative disorder she's effectively kept secret from everyone. Laura's leading the effort to solve this climate crisis, with her team of global environmental, atmospheric scientists for the U.S. company, H20, Corporation. Just when Earth's temperatures are beginning to normalize, the barometer starts climbing back up. Laura believes the human key to the Earth's weather crisis, is the team's newest member, MERC. Only he's not human and he's a charismatic psychopath. Merc's a first generation Originator, who's covertly working with the Untouchables. The Untouchables booby-trapped the Earth with artifacts believed to be creations of Earth's early civilizations. These machines of destruction are responsible for the blazing heat that is incrementally destroying the Earth. What causes complications for Laura's progress is her growing attraction to Merc, oddly because he's as void of a conscience as she is. She needs to figure out if Merc knows where the machines are so she can shut them down. Merc in turn, needs to stop Laura from finding the machines to keep Earth on its path to ruination. They are more powerful than they are letting on, and have no qualms about killing the other.Complete
