Nefarious

Nefarious: (adj.) Wicked, villainous, despicable

That's exactly how I feel about the government of the United States.

It's the year 3124 and global warming is a very severe and current issue. The earth is mainly all desert and temperatures average over 100 degrees. 46.7% of the population is already dead, due to poverty and their inability to attain proper resources.

On the other hand, the lucky 13.2% of the population that are on the opposite end of the spectrum (the big politicians, millionaires, and billionaires) have moved on to Mars.

Mars is the epitome of luxury. The whole planet is covered in wealth. However, the governments of Mars and the United States are quickly realizing that in order to keep the human race alive, saving only the wealthy, is not the answer.

Their solution is simple. They will hold a competition. It will last 8 weeks and it will expose the strongest and smartest people that earth has to offer. The lucky group of people that have been deemed the best, will get the opportunity of a life time, the choice to move to Mars.

For Siena Williams the choice is an easy one. She has dreamed of what living on Mars would be like ever since she could think. When she enters the competition she meets her biggest competitor.

Logan Bailey.

They form an unlikely bond and form an alliance. But when the competition gets trickier she will be forced to make difficult decisions. And wrong decisions may cost her, her own life.
