In S. J. Kincaids 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 Spires training academy, he makes the best friends of his life--fellow government weapons-in-training Wyatt Enslow, Vik Ashwan, and Yuri Sysevich. In this 47-page prequel novella to the series, budding genius Wyatt Enslow--intensely loyal and hyperintelligent if occasionally, hilariously, socially awkward--takes center stage as S. J. Kincaid reveals Wyatts life before she found her place, and her own inner strength, among her devoted band of friends at the Spire.
