When you have to save your country, you have to save you first. A decade of nuclear war has left the population decimated. There has to be a way to force the world to find a way to save the people. They choose the Langyan Series where teams compete in paintball battles in a special made arena. Each team has twelve players. Sarah Carlton leads team USA. How will a self destructive, anxious woman lead the team and keep who she is intact? First, she has to prove that she can lead. Her team has an old flame and an old friend on it. They have to trust and rely on each member of the team for everything. Once the Series turn deadly, the team fights to stay alive. I liked the book. It felt like it was a cross between the Gladiators and Hunger games.. I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I received book from Net Galley and Sky Forest Press. The opinions are my own.
