"Insignia expertly combines humor with a disarming and highly realistic view of the future. The characters are real, funny, and memorable. You won't be able to put this book down."—Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divergent and Insurgent

The earth is in the middle of WWIII in Insignia, the first entry in S. J. Kincaid's fast-paced sci-fi adventure trilogy perfect for fans of Ender's Game.

The planet's natural resources are almost gone, and war is being fought to control the assets of the solar system. The enemy is winning. The salvation may be Tom Raines. Tom doesn't seem like a hero. He's a short fourteen-year-old with bad skin. But he has the virtual-reality gaming skills that make him a phenom behind the controls of the battle drones.

As a new member of the Intrasolar Forces, Tom's life completely changes. Suddenly, he's someone important. He has new opportunities, friends, and a shot at having a girlfriend. But there's a price to pay. . . .

Es el mejor libro. Espero que salga cataclismo de forma física y en español. P. D:vivo en córdoba, argentina, así que si alguien sabe dónde conseguirlo le agradecería que me avise

Is a very good trilogy, Utopia, Dis-topic. The characters are very young, however you have very smart dialogues between them, and the author seems to know what he was doing, when you read them all, you could see why he started the way it is, and you find all your answers step by step, there are people that is killed, but none principal character. Adventure, action, military, humorists, science, and smart book (trilogy)
