Shadow Sun

Dave Willmarth

S87/100
When Earth is seized by an ancient alien race wielding incredibly advanced tech and transported to a new location with twin suns, gamer geek Allistor finds himself fighting to survive in real life. The human race is declared a contaminant, and the new overlords decree that 90% of humanity will be exterminated. Creatures out of myth and legend are sent to do the killing. After seeing his family killed in the first week, Allistor leads a small group of survivors in their struggle to stay alive. Not satisfied with simple survival, he strives to make himself and his people stronger. The new RPG system that now governs the planet is something he can work with — and teach others to exploit. Thrust into a leadership position with vengeance in his heart, Allistor aims to establish a stronghold and take the fight to the monsters who seek to enslave his people.

Her affinity turns out to be Time, and time shenanigans, it seems, are just getting started.

12 Miles Below

Mark Arrows

S87/100
The world is in ruins. Extreme sub-zero temperatures suffocate the surface, making even simple survival an ordeal. The only escape from the deadly climate is underground — but that brings its own disasters: monstrous machines lurking in the depths, land that shifts like contraption more than rock, and only demigods powerful enough to travel deeper. When an expedition into the far uncharted north goes terribly wrong, Keith Winterscar and his father are trapped together in a desperate fight for survival. Stumbling upon an ancient war of titanic scale, the two must set aside their differences while they struggle against gods, legends, and the grand secrets of the realm that lies below.

1% Lifesteal

Robert Blaise

S87/100
Freddy Stern, a twenty-one-year-old cashier, has lived a plain, albeit harsh life. Having been orphaned twice, he's spent the last ten years working and staying out of trouble. His only aspiration is to save enough money to become an archhuman. His dream gets the jump on him when he barely survives a near-death encounter and finds himself with 1% Lifesteal — a bizarre talent with numerous contradictions and just as many uses. With every dead enemy, he becomes a bit stronger, a little wiser, and a lot more ruthless. And no matter how much damage he takes, he can always put himself back together. Physically, at least. But on his path to power, after having to look at the rotting guts of archhuman society again and again, can his talent keep his mind and soul as pristine as his body? Or will that part of him simply remain broken?

Dungeon Core TV

Michael Anderle, Michael Todd

S85/100

Now dungeon exploration is the world's hottest career, broadcast around the world and across the galaxy via Dungeon Core TV. Luther Miller, a finance guy who had no interest in dungeon diving, is about to discover that family honor and intergalactic revenge can intertwine in the dark depths of the dungeon.

The Mortality Doctrine

James Dashner

S85/100
Michael is a gamer who spends almost more time on the VirtNet than in the real world — a total-immersion virtual reality that's equal parts playground and addiction. But when reports emerge of a hacker holding players hostage inside the VirtNet, leaving victims brain-dead, the government comes looking for someone who can fight back. They've been watching Michael. But going off-grid means venturing into back alleys of the system human eyes have never seen — and risking the line between game and reality blurring forever.

Ether Flows

Ryan DeBruyn

A84/100
The Sovereign Empire's power was a lie. Azrael was brutally trained from birth to be a Sovereign Elite — until war came, and he found himself a prisoner on Tech Duinn, a prison planet designed for blood sport, before he even turned eight. Without system access and stripped of his identity, Azrael must rely on his trainers to keep his true name secret. If anyone learns his last name, he will wake up in the arena — if he wakes up at all. Surviving the Arena Pit Dungeon seems impossible, yet Azrael vows not only to live, but to find a way off-world. He lives only because of applause. Others will die for it. Death or escape is the only way out of the cycle.
