The Designate
by J. B. Cantwell
A desperate young woman. A sadistic caste system. Escape will be her only salvation.
Brooklyn, 2095. Seventeen-year-old Riley Taylor longs to escape the crushing poverty of the slums. Stuck with her best friend in a totalitarian police state, their only hope of freedom is joining the military.
But when Riley gets ripped away from him in their first brutal combat, she’s shocked to discover why so many recruits come home in coffins.
Now, with her state-issued chip recording her every move, digging into the corrupt regime could prove deadlier than the battlefield…
