Insignia by S.J. Kincaid
More than anything, Tom Raines wants to be
important, though his shadowy life is anything but that. For years, Tom’s
drifted from casino to casino with his unlucky gambler of a dad, gaming for
their survival. Keeping a roof over their heads depends on a careful
combination of skill, luck, con artistry, and staying invisible.
Then one day, Tom stops being invisible. Someone’s been watching his virtual-reality prowess, and he’s offered the incredible—a place at the Pentagonal Spire, an elite military academy. There, Tom’s instincts for combat will be put to the test, and if he passes, he’ll become a member of the Intrasolar Forces, helping to lead his country to victory in World War Three. Finally, he’ll be someone important: a superhuman war machine with the tech skills that every virtual-reality warrior dreams of. Life at the Spire holds everything that Tom’s always wanted—friends, the possibility of a girlfriend, and a life where his every action matters—but what will it cost him?
Gripping and provocative, S. J. Kincaid’s futuristic thrill ride of a debut crackles with memorable characters, tremendous wit, and a vision of the future that asks startling, timely questions about the melding of humanity and technology.

The fact that Veronica Roth said it was unputdownable makes me want to read it. And it is going to get a movie adaptation by 20th Century Fox! How cool is that? Will you be reading Insignia?
