If you enjoy YA dystopian fiction, then you might enjoy this novel set in the future during a time when a world war is being fought in space by machines rather than on the planet. Tom Raines wants to be more than a boy drifting from casino to casino with his loser, gambling father. Tom never knows from day-to-day where he will sleep or when his next meal will be. Tom is often forced to use his genius skills at virtual gaming and illegal gambling to provide for the two of them. Due to Tom's exceptional virtual gaming skills, he is tapped by the government for a special training program for teens at the Pentagonal Spire. Tom is excited to finally prove that he is worth something and for the opportunity to build a better life. But is the opportunity worth what he must give up to be a part of the Intrasolar Forces?
