Beskrivning
Falling in love. Evading the authorities. Chasing the rabbits.Being a teenager is complicated enough without superpowers—and the Freaks are about to discover just how much worse things can get.Back at school for their sophomore year in quiet Quapaw City, Arkansas, the young superheroes are trying to navigate the familiar minefield of teenage life: cliques, cars, crushes, and the ever-changing rules of friendship. On the surface, everything seems almost normal. But appearances have never been more deceiving.A secret government task force knows about their extraordinary abilities and is determined to capture them. Meanwhile, the enigmatic Baltar Sterne offers ancient wisdom and a glimmer of hope, even as something far more terrifying begins to stir in the woods beyond town.Intelligent, relentless, and deadlier than any enemy the Freaks have encountered, a mysterious traveler from another world has arrived. Its powers border on the godlike, and its intentions remain terrifyingly unclear. As the threat grows, the Freaks must confront dangers beyond anything their abilities—or their imaginations—have prepared them to face.With their freedom at risk, their friendships under pressure, and their hometown in the path of an unimaginable menace, the Freaks are running out of time to discover what they're truly capable of.Because having superpowers doesn't mean you can save everyone.

Recensioner i media

“Riley weaves explorations of anger issues and budding romance as well as forthrightly confronted themes of racial, religious, and class conflict.” —Kirkus Reviews“Travelers is interesting, thought-provoking, and adds an unexpected emotional layer as the Freaks continue their journey to adulthood.” —Don Sauer, PopCultureGuy.com“Riley possesses a rare, writerly ability to remain in the moment once the action heats up. In this installment, the Freaks face their most dangerous enemy yet, and the menace fairly leaps off the page.” —PaulEberly.com“The book is riveting. Compelling and totally different. I read it in one sitting and was seriously bummed it had to end. His writing is remarkable and had me wanting more. I devoured Travelers and his ones before this.” —Rubie Clark, @RubieReads“Brett Riley has done it again, as he continues his story of teenage supers battling monsters—fantasy beasts and government agents alike. An enthralling, fast-paced fantasy horror.” —Peter Thorburn, UK educator“A great spin on the superhero story, told with genuine depth.” —Mark Waid, bestselling author of History of the Marvel Universe, Doctor Strange, and Superman: Birthright“A fun and fresh twist on the superhero story!” —Jennifer Brody/Vera Strange, author of The 13th Continuum Trilogy, Spectre Deep 6, and the Disney Chills series
