Description

Are all Enders evil? Not quite. Go inside the mind of a Marshal inthis digital-only short storyset in the STARTERS world. STARTERS received rave reviews, including this from the Los Angeles Times: ';The only thing better than a terrific concept is one that is as well executed as Starters. Readers who have been waiting for a worthy successor to Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games will find it here. Dystopian sci-fi at its best, Starters is a terrific series kickoff with a didn't-see-that-coming conclusion that will leave readers on the edges of their seats . . .'
