I have started reading the Lone Star books for 2015-2016 and they are fabulous! I am so excited for you to start checking these out and reading them so I can talk to you about it! Here's an introduction to the first one I read: Proxy by Alex London.
“Syd’s mind still reeled. Something in his blood made him dangerous to these executives. They were more concerned with killing him than they were with their own children. He didn’t like mattering that much to men like them. He didn’t like mattering at all. He longed for the carefully constructed anonymity, the world of not mattering to anyone that he’d spent a lifetime building and seen crumble in only a day. He wanted it back.”
It all started when Syd was four. He was pulled from his bed in the middle of the night and beat. He didn’t know why. It continued every couple of months. As Syd grew older he found out that he was a proxy- a person who takes on the debts of a patron. Whenever his patron does something wrong, Syd is punished in his stead. Syd decides he is going to pay his time and get out of the system, but then his patron does something really wrong, and Syd is given an additional 17 years of time. Syd decides he is getting out, no matter what the cost. The rules say a patron and a proxy should never meet, but when Syd comes face-to-face with his patron it sets events into motion that will change both of their lives forever. If you like action and adventure, you will enjoy this Sci-Fi thriller about how “Some Debts Cannot Be Repaid!”
