Biopunk Stories

A Nordic Noir of scientists locked in a cabin

Kyuro, a young woman ventures one night in search of knowing more about the stories that her mother tells her since she was a child, discovering that the reality of her world is not as it seems, beginning to doubt what was the truth that her mother never told her. A story that begs for answers to questions you might ignore.

As the matriarch of the elite Dimitrescu Star Wines, Alcina Dimitrescu has spent years shielding her three daughters from the galaxy's prying eyes. They possess a rare, volatile genetic legacy known as the Dimitrescu Syndrome-a source of overwhelming biotic potential that is both their greatest weapon and their most dangerous secret. When she secures an invitation to the prestigious Grissom Academy to protect her family's legacy, she expects to dominate the academic landscape. She doesn't expect to meet Kahlee Sanders. As the Academy's Director, Kahlee is the antithesis of everything Alcina stands for: brilliant, unwavering, and unimpressed by aristocrats. Their initial clash is explosive, fueled by ideological warfare and mutual disdain. But as the shadows of the shadowy Cerberus organization begin to lengthen, manipulating the Academy from within, the two enemies are forced into an uneasy, high-stakes partnership. Beneath the veneer of political maneuvering and gothic elegance, a slow-burn attraction begins to simmer-a dangerous distraction in a race against a mastermind who views Alcina's daughters not as children, but as the perfect templates for an unstoppable bioweapon. To survive the coming storm, the Matriarch must learn to lower her defenses, and the Director must fight for the soul of the woman she was never supposed to love.

Can someone truly love you if they believe they own you? Carmine has spent every day she can remember inside Dominic Voss's laboratory. To the outside world, Dom is a brilliant young scientist. To Carmine, he is her protector, her entire world, and the closest thing she has ever known to love. Her blood can close wounds, repair damaged flesh, and keep a person young. Dom says the world would tear her apart to possess it. Carmine believes him until she discovers that he has a family beyond the laboratory's locked doors. If Dom came from somewhere, surely she did too. After escaping to search for the family she believes was stolen from her, Carmine finds an unexpected home with Tula Vale, a sharp-tongued widow with a stubborn heart. She also meets Niko, a strange boy who seems just as unfamiliar with the outside world as she is. Together, Carmine and Niko discover crowded streets, terrible diner food, movie theaters, laughter, and the terrifying freedom of making their own choices. But Niko knows more about Carmine than he admits. And Dom has never lost anything he considers his. As Carmine's search leads her back toward the man she fled, she must decide whether love means being protected and needed or finally choosing herself.

Life has spread across the stars. Empires have carved the galaxy into territories worth killing for. The crew of the Remus know none of this. They came into being only recently, waking with no memory of who made them or why. They are guided by nothing but an incomplete repository of half-answers. This repository conveniently lacks details about their current location or their strange biology. Some of them can twist flesh into new shapes. Others exist only as voices inside the ship's own walls. It's a peculiar way to be alive, and understanding it will mean going out to find the answers themselves. But hostile worlds are waiting, and answers won't come easy. Nothing out there is friendly. The Remus has no home and no allies to fall back on. One wrong step, born of nothing worse than their own naivety, could get them killed long before they find the truth they're seeking.

►This is only a sample -- we've moved to Amazon! http://books2read.com/PerfectHRG1◄ My name is Thessaly, and at 22, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Living with my parents, going to college, and hanging out with friends is pretty much the extent of my mediocre life. The biggest drama I have going on with me is fighting a growing attraction toward my best friend Bram. Oh and avoiding needles-specifically ones that draw my blood. See, on January 27, 2044, the DNA Networking Act was set into action. This new law provides those in authority to gather genetic information from citizens in an effort to achieve nationwide resistance to diseases and other weaknesses. Sounds promising, right? Maybe. But to me, it infringes on a person's freedom. The act prohibits citizens from declining to undergo genetic testing when summoned, and the deadline for everyone to voluntarily submit a DNA sample is fast approaching. I'm avoiding the process as long as possible. Until one night the unthinkable happens: I'm ruthlessly abducted. Bleeding is no longer voluntary... it's a requirement. And as it turns out, my captors aren't anything like I expected. Fear. Friendship. Betrayal. Lust. Hate. Passion. Despair. It's no-holds-barred in this fast-paced, Sci-Fi, Reverse Harem Romance. *** Perfect is a work of fiction.
