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.”
