The Insignia trilogy is a series of three young-adult science fiction novels written by and published by Katherine Tegen Books. The novels describe a dystopian future where the world is experiencing World War III. Teenager Tom Raines is recruited to train with other recruits as a crucial member of the Intrasolar Forces and, during the Pentagonal Spire's training academy, becomes friends with Wyatt Enslow, Vik Ashwan, and Yuri Sysevich. The trilogy is preceded by the novella Allies.[1]
