The end of the world is coming. How or when, scientists can’t agree upon. For decades, Earth’s best line of defense has been a team of young soldiers known as the Apocalypse Five, forced into virtual reality simulations to train for Doom’s Day. But, this is no game. Death on the grid is brutally final, and calls up the next in a long line of cadets. Stationed aboard the AT-1-NS Starship, the A5 are celebrities thrust into the limelight by a calling they didn’t choose.
All it takes is one unscheduled mission, showing seventeen-year-old team leader Detroit a harsh and unfathomable reality, to shake the A5’s belief in all they thought they knew. After questioning people with the power to destroy them, the team is framed for a crime they didn’t commit and marked for death. Now, the hunt is on. Can the Apocalypse Five expose the truth the starship would kill to keep hidden? Or, will their bravery end in a public execution?

 

I received this ARC to give an honest review.

What can this author not write? I am never too big on Sci-fi books I guess because they are just not my cup of tea to read, but I knew I wanted to try this book out to see if it was going to be good. I have no clue why I doubted if it would be good or not because this gal was blown away by just how good it was overall. From the action to the connection that team leader Detroit has with her team and maybe a bit of romance it was designated to be good. We are introduced to the A5 group. They are the ones who are training to protect the ones on the starship in space. So when they are sent on a mission this is when they start to question everything! What exactly is being hidden from everyone? There will be survival for all, secrets will come out and most importantly Detroit will not let anything happen to not only her team or family but for those she is fighting for. She is determined to find the truth about everything. From the very beginning, I was pulled in from the first group of A5's that were sent on a mission and was so intrigued by what they were doing and seeing. I really liked Detroit as a character. She is strong, a leader, really thinks things through and just doesn't jump into a situation. 
There is that humor within that I love about this author's writing and I was hoping to see it within the story. She didn't disappoint on that! Pick up this book when it is out, I am almost certain you will love it!
