Apocalyptic Alien

Ataegina was an isolated world of medieval castles, varied cultures, and conquests, vibrant until the demons rose and spread relentless destruction. Swarms of lethal creatures with black husks, murderous claws, barbed tails, and dreaded “tooth-tongues” raged through the lowlands, killing 90 percent of the planet’s population. Terrified survivors fled to hidden mountain keeps where they eke out a meager existence. When a trio of young warriors discovers a new weapon, they see a chance to end this curse. To save humanity, they must fight.

In a world devastated by alien invasion, Jarek and Rachel were never paragons of heroism. They survived, same as anyone else. They protected what was dear—Jarek with his exosuit and beloved AI companion, Rachel with her brother. They kept things simple... until the raknoth came and took it all away. Now, Jarek and Rachel will stop at nothing to protect what's theirs, even if it means swallowing their pride and working together to survive. Because it turns out the raknoth are only the beginning of the bad news for Mother Earth...

Deep in the icy black of the North Atlantic, a state-of-the-art submersible makes a chilling discovery—a metallic object slicing through the water with impossible speed and precision. Moments later, systems fail, lights die, and terror takes hold. On Mars, a European rover transmits the image of a stone—etched with unknown symbols—just before vanishing from the data grid. Entire neighborhoods in Nevada disappear without a trace. And in the French Alps, a champion cyclist vanishes mid-race, his GPS pinging him thousands of miles away—then gone.

The aliens silently floated down from the skies in June of 2026, hovering there at a geostationary orbit above the earth for three months. Without warning on September 3rd, 2026, they attacked. Within three months, 85% of humanity had been wiped out. And we all learned the horrible truth regarding these aliens: "You just...don't...look."

Hacker Kita Yamasaki would do anything to escape the post-apocalyptic landscape that was the result of the Forever Winter. But for a normal person, the only options are the war-hungry nation-state of Ex Cathedra or the isolationist United California. Fortunately, Kita is anything but normal. When she finds a faded brochure for the BC Oasis—an underground greenhouse capable of sheltering a quarter million people—she jumps at the opportunity, even going so far as to steal a fission battery the oasis requires to operate at full capacity.

After saving Manhattan from the alien Salvage System, Forge Warrior Chris Mason faces an impossible choice: become the Forerunners' champion or watch Earth fall.

Transported to Zhark'Thul, an alien world of deadly creatures and bizarre landscapes, Chris discovers his salvaging abilities no longer function. Stripped back to level one, he and his team must survive the insect-like Rax'Kull who mark them as prey.

The survivors of Little Creek hope that salvation awaits them at Keystone, but it quickly becomes apparent that things are not as they seem. As Len, Vera and Guppie grapple with the new reality on the base, Pammy and Cooper join forces with a sympathetic soldier to take the fight to the Clankers. An unexpected lesson from an unlikely source might be the key to human survival. But there is a greater enemy than even the Clankers afoot, and it will take all their ingenuity — and a little luck — to survive this time.

Jaisa’s beauty and ability to please, both of which are to be used at the discretion of the scientific elite who are the one segment of humanity the new gods value, are Jaisa’s only value to the new gods. But her value to humanity may be much greater. Placed into a position of influence, she walks the line between nonconformity and death.

As the battle against the invading aliens intensifies, a group of bad boy bikers and mercenaries will stand and fight for humanity's survival. Squad Three berserker Dom Santora has an ugly past he can't forget. Born and raised in the darkness, he spent his life before the alien invasion as a Mafia enforcer. And there is no way he'll ever deserve the quiet beauty of a woman like Arden Carlisle. As Dom, Arden, and the berserkers work to find a deadly alien bomb, they uncover the true horror of the aliens' plans.

The ending has begun. The arrival of a metropolis-sized Astral vessel (the so-called "Eternity ship") sounds the opening bell for the beginning of humanity's end. Judgment is over, and now the Horsemen have come to restart the planet's clock. As the final countdown begins, Meyer and his crew find themselves with only two options: stay in the city and die, or run into the coming apocalypse and take their chances.

I was created by beings who couldn’t touch this world...only watch it crumble. Every twenty years, a new tribe...a new hope...a new failure. I was told, “Do not interfere.” But watching them die...again...again... I wasn’t meant to change history...only guide it. Silently. Humanity had a second chance…I was left to make sure they didn’t waste it. But I broke Directive Three. Can they survive a second collapse...can I?

Once the sole human ambassador seeking peace with the alien Teth, now the doctor is long dead—and only Kita holds the knowledge that can save humanity.

Because if Jordan is brave enough to look past the veil, a mad wasteland awaits.

In an exhilarating, surprising exploration of our planet, Craig Childs takes listeners on a firsthand journey through apocalypse, touching the truth behind the speculation.

A new colony of humans. But are they truly human? Their whole life has been one big experiment. But the relationships, the love, and the loss have been real. Surviving the wasteland was only the beginning; and meeting the Founders only brought Rhun and Jordan more questions. They’ve been bred for combat. Can they bring what’s left of humanity together and avoid all out war? First they must save their homes and those they left behind from the same fate as the decimated City 6.

They should have left the doors closed. Now, their creation will rain destruction. The horde is coming. And the only hope Jordan or Rhun have is to unite the survivors and face the onslaught together. When the silent city's gates are opened, monsters are unleashed on the planet. Aid will come from the most unlikely of allies as the experiment's endgame draws closer. Face the end of the Pandora Experiment and the beginning of what life looks like once the dust settles. New alliances will be made, traitors will be exposed, and hope will find a way.

The creatures arrived on June 6th, 2026, by the hundreds of thousands, silently drifting down out of the sky, hovering at a geostationary orbit for three months all over the planet, taking up positions. No one knew what they wanted...why they came...or why they wouldn't just go away. And then, three months later, the unthinkable happened. They suddenly came to life, hunting us down. We called them gorgons—after the mythical creature Medusa—because their eyes had the power to paralyze us with just one look.
