About this ebook

"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. . . .

Ratings and reviews

I really didn't think it'd like it. Some of the long WWIII history lessons seemed to be never ending. But I was curious to see how Tom was going to get out of his predicaments. I think Wyatt was my favorite character.

I'm love this book. It gets the job done of making u love some characters and hate some. I haven't actually read it 100 times..YET!

Loved it. It reminds me of Ender's games but better. So futuristic and the main character isn't pretty like most books lol. He is an amazing author and would love to read more of his books
