Ebook Description
In the late 21st century, war has become unfashionable. In its place: the Global Ranking System, a means by which the world’s Patriot nations can compete for resources on Heroes' Day. Monica's dream is to become a Hero—but no opportunity comes without a price, and she soon finds that in the world of the Patriot elite the slightest misstep can send ripples across the globe.Tags

A very well done science fiction novel, heavy on the social politics, but not to the point where you feel like you're dragging your heels. It's more of a character study that takes place against a futuristic sports novel backdrop than a sports novel itself. And while Monica's character is young, I think she can easily relate to readers of all ages. After all, who among us hasn't dreamed of greatness, only to discover that wanting and having are two different things?
