What to expect
***** ‘Omg! How can a person write a book like this? Is K.N. Milde a genius? Must be! It's a masterpiece!’
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.
Readers can't get enough of Ashley’s story:
***** ‘This was everything that I was looking for … K. N. Milde has a strong writing style and am excited for more’
***** ‘I honestly loved this book … It was fast paced and clever and constantly kept me guessing. It was full of emotion and heart ache, whilst also being completely action packed and bad ass’
***** ‘It's been SO long since I read a good dystopian / post-apocalyptic book … This book has total The Last Of Us vibes … If you are a fan of zombies, dystopia and post-apocalyptic stories, make sure you give it a go’
***** ‘I love zombie stories! And more importantly, I love reading about how humans struggle, survive and find joy in the middle of the world falling apart. Milde did a great job with this world and these characters!’
**** ‘The story gripped me and left me wanting more’
**** ‘This story has all the elements of a sci-fi/fantasy/suspense. I appreciated all the effort that went into creating the world’
**** ‘There was a lot going on in this story, but it was really fun and kinda crazy! Romance, survival, a training academy … I think others would enjoy it a lot!’
