The Designate (Lens Book 1)

Description

Everything that could go wrong, went wrong.

Sea level increase? Fifty feet.

Weather? Hurricanes and crippling drought.

Government? Don’t even get me started.

I don’t think that people a hundred years ago would have believed the way things are now.

I’m just Riley, a girl stuck in what’s left of Brooklyn, trying to find my way out. My best friend, Alex, says I shouldn’t join the Service, but I don’t see any other way. I’ve had enough; enough of my mom, enough of this poverty, enough of this hunger.

They say that only one in five survives the full four-year term. Only one in five gets the money on the other side.

I can’t stay here, so there’s only one choice, really.

It’s going to be me.
