SOTF - The Battle for Earth

I've just started writing this book within the last four days, and I'm incredibly excited about the direction it's heading.  I don't know if this will be the last in the series, but time will tell.  Here's a snippet of the Prologue:


            The question had been echoed over a million times, “How much longer?”  As the days ticked by, and time drew closer and closer to the Quar return, everyone fell into a feeling of despair.  The thought of having to go to war to save Earth wasn’t something hundreds of thousands of Theta DNA teens around the world even wanted to consider.  All of them knew, and all of them understood, this war would have a clear winner, and the loser, well, that was the one thing no teen wanted to think about.

            The teens faced a harsh winter following the exit of the Quar.  They found themselves trapped in skyscrapers that had already begun to decay.  There were nights when the winds howled outside.  The teens in New York City faced a blizzard, one greater than any had ever seen.  During that, there were those who thought they all would starve to death.  But in that group, there were some, who were determined to ensure the group wouldn’t go hungry, ever.

            Ricardo, Cain, and Matt, led the battle to find food.  They braved snow drifts that buried buildings up to the second story.  They fought the freezing temperatures while others made certain there was a warm place to call home.  The arctic blast lasted nearly three weeks, and only one didn’t survive.
