β¦ Synopsis
"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. The planet's natural resources are almost gone, and the war is being fought to control the assets of the solar system. The enemy is winning.

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....
