16 year-old Faith Monroe needs to know if there’s an assigned seat for her in the universe before she loses her life. It’s the year 2025, and she’s one of several teens slated to discover her expiration date, but there’s only one The transport she’s riding in has a number of teens, including herself, who never received the extraterrestrial death chip. A device implanted at birth set to kill you at your appointed time. As perfect genetic matches for the leaders of the planet NINE, Faith and her friends must prevent an assimilation of their souls. Training her soul to resist won’t be easy. In fact, she’ll have to die first. A soul can’t fight back while it’s still attached to a living being. Faced with a nearly impossible choice, run away or stay and be trained, she summons the fearlessness to fight. Maybe she’s finally found the real reason she’s survived her illness, to restore the concept of dying by grand design rather than government mandate.

Nine by D.M. King
Nine is about a planet of aliens who have higher technology skills than the people on Earth. The planet Nine is dying because they have eliminated all diseases in which kept the population levels in check. Now their are no more diseases the population is totally out of control. The Niners have develop an extermination chip. Instead of using it amongst their fellow niners they figure they will use their experiment on Earth.
The Niners gave technology to the Earthling Government in return to insert extermination chips into the earthlings. For what reason you ask? So that the Niners who are dying on their planet can slip inside of a persons body to steal their soul.
No government should have the right or the authority who is going to live or die.

Nine is a book with a ton of promise - lots of action and a unique plot line. The phrasing is a little clunky and doesn't always flow. The characters have dimension and can easily be developed further in the next two books of the trilogy.

I am the author. If you liked Unwind, Divergent, and The 5th Wave, you may enjoy NINE. Book two--SOULLESS-- arrives in December.
