Survival Aptitude Test: Sound
About this ebook
The Cycle of Extinctions is nearly complete. Starving humans teeter at the top of the food chain. In fact, they're the last remaining link. But a doomed boy and girl may offer a seed of hope.
Like every 19-year-old prospect in Daqin Guojin, Daoren and Heqet must soon sit the Survival Aptitude Test. Only the smartest pass the S.A.T. The rest are harvested for grooll, the city-state’s sole food source and barter currency.
If Daoren’s intellect can outpace his anxiety, he might earn the first perfect score in history and be named ruler. Heqet knows he can’t do it without her, even if he’d be the last person to ask for help. Together, they hold the answers for humanity's survival . . . if they can stay alive.
Daqin Guojin's ruling caste has been manipulating S.A.T. scores for its dull-witted children, amassing a fortune in grooll and triggering a widespread famine. The elites will do anything to protect their wealth, even if it means ensuring Daoren and Heqet’s test leads to the pair's harvesting . . . and humanity's downfall.
Survival Aptitude Test: Sound is the first book in the post-apocalyptic sci-fi series, The Extinction Odyssey. If you enjoy classic dystopian tales like Soylent Green and Logan’s Run, then you'll love this modern twist on humanity’s last gasp.
