Von der hinteren Coverseite

You're superhuman. A military weapon.
Your power knows no limits.
But what will you fight for?

Gamer kid Tom Raines and his friends—all superhuman government weapons-in-training—have entered their second year at the Pentagonal Spire, becoming midlevel cadets in the elite combat corps known as the Intrasolar Forces. But as training intensifies, Tom's loyalties are put to the test: betray his ideals and friendships for the sake of his country or sabotage his own future? Drawn into a dramatic power struggle, Tom faces a terrifying possibility: his idealism and bravado may have cost him everything—and everyone—that matters.

With action, intelligence, and humor, the second book in S. J. Kincaid's trilogy continues to explore fascinating questions about power, politics, technology, loyalty, and friendship.
