About the book:

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, a young soldier is coming into his own. Logan has known since childhood that he possesses a special gift—he can detect others who have the ability to transit, or ghost-walk. 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. 

Welcome back, Thomas. Can you please tell us about Renegades?

Their prize awaits in the parallel world.

For ten years and counting, Sean and Dillon Kirrell have survived the mayhem of a self-destructive homelife through living a dream. Their bedroom is wallpapered with hand-drawn images of a long, circular train station. Glass trains glide through translucent tunnels, connecting this hub to a world they cannot name, but are certain exists. The travelers move along conveyor belts that curve over walls and ceilings, held in place by a system they have named modulated gravity. This is no dream. This is no fabricated scenario. For a decade and a week and a day, they have known the place is out there. Waiting to welcome them to their real home.

But unseen forces aim to thwart their plans, and then redirect their newly-honed powers to destroy a planetary government. By absorbing the lessons and going beyond, Sean and Dillon forge an ambition to be of service to the inter-planetary system. Suddenly it's no longer about being the best. It's about the survival of their ever-expanding community.

            Compass Book Ratings

“Wow! This story is a remarkable feat, combining adroit storytelling with a delicious mixture of the now and the fantastic. Bunn's writing shows a wonderfully fluid grace. The story brings to mind the poignant beauty of Arthur C Clark's best novels, as well as such modern works as Avatar.”
