From a New York Times–bestselling author, a sci-fi adventure novella about a teen recruited by an elite military academy to fight WWIII.

In S. J. Kincaid's fast-paced and humorous sci-fi Insignia trilogy, the earth is in the middle of World War III when teen gamer Tom Raines is recruited to train with other young cadets as a pivotal member of the elite combat corps, the Intrasolar Forces. At the Pentagonal Spire's training academy, he makes the best friends of his life—fellow government weapons-in-training Wyatt Enslow, Vik Ashwan, and Yuri Sysevich.

In this prequel novella to the series, budding genius Wyatt Enslow—intensely loyal and hyper-intelligent if occasionally, hilariously, socially awkward—takes center stage as S. J. Kincaid reveals Wyatt's life before she found her place, and her own inner strength, among her devoted band of friends at the Spire.

Praise for Insignia:

"The characters are real, funny, and memorable. You won't be able to put this book down." —Veronica Roth, New York Times–bestselling author of Divergent
