Showing results for "nature" in Dystopian

Told with perfect rhythm and unyielding brutality, these stories expose unsuspecting men and women to the realities of nature, the primal instincts of man and the dark humour and heartbreak of our struggle to not only thrive, but survive.

La natura dell’acqua è una visione sul futuro prossimo che esplora i risvolti della corruzione e degli inganni delle aziende e del governo, insieme ai conflitti per le risorse. Da ecologista e tecnologa, Nina Munteanu utilizza sia la narrativa che la saggistica per esaminare la nostra umanità di fronte ai cambiamenti climatici e il nostro mutevole rapporto con la tecnologia e la natura.

I’ve finally got my sister back. Now, if we can just catch up with our friends and find a way home...it’s only 300 miles away. When we’re offered a deal that seems to include everything we need to get home, the only choice is to accept. Never mind that the cost is our silence, along with taking a slight excursion along the way. The clock is ticking and we’re sworn to secrecy. Can we reach home in time and keep our promises? The road ahead is nowhere near easy. Tag along with Quinn and Riley as they attempt to reach their safe haven before devastation erupts.

When Quinn and Riley set out on a family vacation with their parents, the trip ends before it begins. Mother Nature interferes with their plans, setting off a sequence of events that thrusts the teens into a hostile landscape. Stranded with limited supplies and struggling to figure out who they can trust along the way, they must determine how to survive nature’s evolving fury.

Our base was asked to send a representative to serve on an urgent project at Langley Air Force Base. Of all the potential candidates who could fulfill that role, I was chosen. I am more than capable of meeting and exceeding whatever skills are required. I’ve dedicated two decades of my life to the US military, and I intend to support and defend my country until I am no longer capable. But the deeper entrenched I become in this assignment, the more I question its morality.

Quinn doesn’t know it, but at this moment I am finally claiming the role I earned the day she was born. I’m the older sister, but only chronologically. Quinn was always braver and bolder. And now, as my fractured world shatters once again, the person I care about most has a target on her back. If I can’t muster some semblance of strength, the road ahead will break me. Right now, I’m the only one who has any ability to keep Quinn safe. I have no choice. Go willingly or put my sister in danger. It’s not a question. I will protect her the only way I can.

Mother Nature has issued human beings various warnings over the years, some subtle, some not so subtle; messages she intended to wake us up with, ones that would stop us from directing the planet onto a path that, some say, might already be irreversible. Unfortunately, these messages have largely gone unheeded up until now, which is why Mother Nature has decided to create something new: an Agent that is absolutely unpredictable.
