The Testing

           I'm on my third book, called The Testing, and so far it has been a great book. It starts out in a setting where after the seven stages of war where most of the Earth is a charred wasteland except for the colonies. The future is in the hands of the future generation to lead the colonies and rebuild America. But only a select few whose intelligence levels are very high and have shown signs of potential leadership are chosen for The Testing. The testing consists  of four different tests to challenge the minds of the candidates.

         But the book starts in a small colony that hasn't had any candidates go to the testing in 10 years. But this year four people make it including Cia, Thomas, Valarie, and Malachi. Of course everyone is happy for her but her father was also a candidate who passed all the tests but he has nightmares of walking down streets with his friends and seeing them explode in front of his eyes. He warns Cia that also some people may do whatever it takes to win including kill. This is as far as I have gotten in this book.
