I’ve been reading a book called Insignia by S.J. Kincaid. In World War III, Tom Raines is just a loner teen who follows his dad from casino to casino. Most of the time, he plays Virtual Reality games in the casino betting here and there. WW III is fought in deep space because the weapons they use can destroy the atmosphere and all of humanity. People control ships and weapons from Earth like a video game. One day, Tom meets General Marsh who is the head of the Indo-American Forces. General Marsh recruits Tom to join the Indo-American Forces at the Pentagonal Spire. Sooner or later, Tom is the best fighter of his division. At Capitol Summit where the Indo-American Forces fight with the Russo-Chinese Forces over an old satellite that is from outer space to the front lawn of the Smithsonian, Tom is representing the Indo-American Forces and Medusa (a teenager’s call name) representing the Russo-Chinese Forces.
I thought that this was a very good book with vivid description of the scene and it made me feel like I was the security guy watching all of this happen. I would encourage anybody who like Sci-Fi to read this. Vortex is the next book in the series, I can’t wait to read it.
