Chapter 1: John

In a post-apocalyptic world, the future seems bleak for the human race. After finding out the Earth cannot sustain life much longer, a newly elected government has plans for human kind. The leader wants to colonize Mars in order to save the human race. However, when Aliens are discovered on Mars, eleven year old John's life is turned upside down when he and other children are recruited to fight for mankind's future survival. But things aren't as they seem as John soon finds out. Does the government have secret motives?
