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? Finally, he'll be someone important: a superhuman war machine with the tech skills that every virtual-reality warrior dreams of. 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 III. Someone's been watching his virtual-reality prowess, and he's offered the incredible - a place at the Pentagonal Spire, an elite military academy. Keeping a roof over their heads depends on a careful combination of skill, luck, con artistry, and staying invisible.
For years, Tom's drifted from casino to casino with his unlucky gambler of a dad, gaming for their survival. More than anything, Tom Raines wants to be important, though his shadowy life is anything but that.
