Renegades
Recruits book 2
by Thomas Locke
-From Amazon- Twins Sean and Dillon are using their transit abilities for good--but not everyone sees it that way. Arrested and imprisoned by a clandestine group within the highest reaches of the Human Assembly, Sean and Dillon are forced to choose sides between those who wish to serve and those who seek to rule. At the same time within a distant outpost system, a young soldier is coming into his own. Logan has known since childhood that he possessed a special ability--a distinct form of transiting called ghost-walking. Though ghost-walking has been outlawed for centuries, Logan is secretly drawing together a crew for a risky quest. The fates of these three young men will lead them, along with the entire Assembly, to the brink of destruction in this inventive tale of adventure, honor, and the things worth fighting for. ISBN-13: 978-0800727901 The fate of worlds rests on their shoulders... The Twins are back and the stakes are even higher than in book one! Though science fiction is not my go-to genre I am a fan of Thomas Locke and have been for several years so I was pretty excited to see that he had once again delved into said genre. | This Book received a 4 Bark rating. |
This book checked all the boxes for a good YA sci-fi book!
Epic quest complete with battles, dire situations, and dangerous enemies: Check.

Intrigue, betrayal, romance, and the camaraderie of those facing certain death: Check.
See what I mean? Renegades has it all.
Thomas Locke's latest book will appeal to the YA readers out there as well as adults. I think I would have even enjoyed listening to my dad read this series aloud if it had been available when I was a kid.
This book is a great way to spend a few hours escaping the hum-drum of everyday life, and, I for one, hope there will be further adventures of Sean and Dillon forthcoming.
