What happens when everything you know and take for granted disappears?

On Dulunae, the Planet of Two Moons, a ragged band of teenagers have lost everything: family, home, food, shelter. Mindless armies of Antibodies have ravaged the planet. The story begins in the fantasy-adventure series Outcasts 1: The Shadow Beasts and continues in Outcasts 2: The Survivors.

The survivors of the onslaught - The Outcasts - seek safe HayVen, a place that may or may not exist. Danger lurks at every step of the journey. Antibodies relentlessly attack the Outcasts. Chitin — an invulnerable new breed of creature — strikes silently with lethal razor-sharp pincers. Below the scarred face of Dulunae, hideous monsters wrap poisonous tentacles around their victims.

A brutal being known only as CH'NOPS sows seeds of destruction.

Action reaches a breakneck pace as hordes of Shadow Beasts surround the Font of Knowledge where the Outcasts are hiding. Is the Font the HayVen they seek or an illusive trap? Can the Outcasts overcome their differences in language and culture to save themselves?

One teenaged book reviewer stayed up until the wee hours of the morning in an attempt to answer these questions. What a fine tribute!
