About this ebook

It begins with a dire call-right before his father disappears and his skyscraper home's doors explode inward. Street Freaks is the kind of thrilling futuristic story only New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks can tell.

"Go into the Red Zone. Go to Street Freaks." his father directs Ashton Collins before the vid feed goes suddenly silent. The Red Zone is the dangerous heart of mega-city Los Angeles; it is a world Ash is forbidden from and one he knows little about. But if he can find Street Freaks, the strangest of aid awaits―human and barely human alike. As Ash is hunted, he must unravel the mystery left behind by his father and discover his role in this new world.

Brooks has long been the grandmaster of fantasy. Now he turns his hand to science fiction filled with what his readers love best: complex characters, extraordinary settings, exciting action, and a page-turning story. Through it, Brooks reimagines his bestselling career yet again.

Ratings and reviews

I have loved all of Terry Brooks works up to this point; Shannara, Word and Void, Landover, these were all excellent and varied. However, this book was a radical departure from Mr. Brooks previous works, and not in a positive way. I enjoyed the premise, but the story was blatant and angsty, trope filled and pedantic and the editing was appalling for an author who has dedicated so much of his life to carefully guiding his readers through wonder and excitement. I hope any further works within this universe receive better treatment.

A nice departure for the author. Builds a world and populates it with believable characters that you want to get to know.

unsure if this book was really written by terry brooks. low quality.
