B74/100

Park security chief Alex Griffin must join the campaign to find the killer — and finds unexpected meaning in the games he helps protect.

The Power of Ten Book Four: Dynamo

RE Druin

B73/100
Getting carved off a soul is traumatic. Getting snared by an extradimensional entity for unknown reasons is worse. Waking up in a new world suspiciously familiar to your favorite reading material as a kid is downright crazy — but there have been some big changes to canon. Soul-Shard Vier wakes up in a Marvel Universe with no idea of what to do in the grand scheme. But it's a superhero universe, friendly to everything you might try. Time to stop buying into comic book power stasis and start climbing the scales — and if you get to exploit some still-relevant canon along the way, all the better.

Crime & Defense

NovelNinja

B73/100
For millennia, two galactic empires have been locked in an interstellar cold war. Dissent is considered treason, and neutrality is incomprehensible. As each empire has expanded, newly discovered sentient species have always joined one side or the other — whether they want to or not. In the year 2028, Earth is the latest planet in the path of expansion. It has barely any space capability, no system defenses, and no allies. The nations of Earth must volunteer to be subjugated, or become the latest battleground in a war that began before the construction of the pyramids. No species has ever succeeded in resisting. Except humans have a saying: the best defense is a good offense.

The Law of Averages

mcswazey

B73/100
What young boy doesn't crave adventure? What young man doesn't wish to be a superhero? But time marches on, life grows dull with responsibility, and old dreams are forgotten. This story follows Daniel Newman as he's dragged solidly out of his comfort zone and adjusts to a strange new world — one where superpowers are for sale, heroics are frowned upon, and life constantly defies his expectations. Dan always thought he was destined to be normal, but one world's normal is another world's special.

Prototype

Jez Cajiao

B72/100
Ajax is one of Earth's most elite Paladin pilots, trusted to fly the most advanced starfighters humanity ever produced. Wounded and abandoned behind enemy lines, his carrier has fallen back and he's parachuting down onto an alien world with a broken arm, no ship, no weapons, and only hazy memories after losing them to the purge. He knows they'll return — and they'll treat this world to the same kind of plasma bombardment the elves inflicted on Mother Earth. Getting back into orbit is going to be a hell of a fight. But he'll do it, or he'll die trying. They say humanity is only three meals from going feral. It's time the rest of the galaxy found out just how true that is.

Deadman

Seersucker

B72/100
Even after the bombs fell, after countries unleashed weapons beyond imagining on one another, after lawlessness became the norm — people still expect their mail. As a deadman, the protagonist is uniquely suited to deliver it. Rads don't bother him, and people who try to hurt him typically wind up dead. Sure, humans may not like dealing with a face like his, but you can't beat his express rates. A dystopian LitRPG in the vein of Fallout and The Postman.

Bluefishcake

Jack never heard of a transmat malfunction stranding someone in another dimension — but here he is, trudging through the snow in his mining overalls after stepping onto one transmat pad and never stepping off the other. The air is breathable, the trees look like oak, and somewhere in the distance there's a fire that probably isn't natural. If this dimension has trees native to Earth, it probably has humans too. And Jack is going to find them — one way or another.

KILL ALL KAIJU

HeroGuy

Earth is lost. Driven to the brink of extinction by impossibly powerful Kaiju, humanity survives only in Subterranean Arks deep in the Earth's mantle. Raymond Ryker isn't a hero. He's simply the best surviving pilot humanity has ever known — and he fights not for glory, but to avenge the countless lives lost to the monsters. When a mad plan is concocted to send a human consciousness back in time to inhabit their younger self, Ryker volunteers. But the experiment goes wrong: instead of his teenage body, Ryker's mind is transplanted into a newly hatched Kaiju. Trapped in the body of a monster and unable to warn humanity of the coming cataclysm, he must forge his new form into the ultimate weapon. The mission hasn't changed. Kill all Kaiju.

A Sinner's Eden

Andur

B71/100
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but the powerful still rule the weak. Those who do not conform are exiled to another world — one that even future technology failed to tame. It should have been humanity's New World. Instead it became a penal colony, a place where the exiled are sent to die. The exiles' gene manipulation grants them something akin to superpowers, but that counts for little against the monsters of their new world. Survival depends on what the land provides, the scraps of failing old technology, and the fragile politics forming between rival clans.
