What to expect
Tomorrow is Recruitment Day.
Or, as I like to call it, Sign Your Suicide Contract Day.
And like all the sane people alive—who are few, both in terms of sanity and life status—I don’t plan on sticking around for it…
The Sector Protection Force—SPORE—is all that stands between humanity and the infected. Like everyone else her age, fifteen-year-old Ashley is forced to join the training program to become a soldier – she just didn’t think her attempt to escape recruitment would backfire so badly. Left for dead by her own friends, Ash is rescued by SPORE – the very people who killed her father. Now, not only is she stuck with a bunch of suicidal recruits who worship everything she hates about SPORE, she also owes them her life.
On the bright side, Ash is perfectly positioned to get what she’s always wanted: an escape to the outside world.
