It begins with a dire call-right before his father disappears and his skyscraper home's doors explode inward. It is the kind of thrilling futuristic story only 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 the mega-city of 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.

Praise for this book
"I didn’t expect it to become, 'Just one more chapter and I’ll turn out the light, dear.' But it did. Street Freaks is a completely engrossing story." - Robin Hobb
"Unforgiving suspense, constant paranoia, a future of ruthless mega-companies, and a young man caught in multiple conspiracies with friends and foes. Totally gripping, totally tense!" - Tamora Pierce
"In his latest incarnation, Street Freaks, Terry Brooks spins yet another tale of heroism, treachery, and intrigue. This coming-of-age story set in a landscape like no other reminded me of the best of Cory Doctorow and Neil Gaiman, yet still imbued with Terry Brooks’s unique and cinematic style. I’m not sure what I’m looking forward to more: the sequel…or seeing this book explode onto the big screen." - James Rollins
