For more than a decade, twins Sean and Dillon Kirrel have felt pulled toward another world--a place they have sketched out in detail and posted on the walls of their bedroom. They are certain it is out there. Soon after their seventeenth birthday, they are approached by a clandestine scout. To him, Earth is just a distant and unmonitored outpost of human civilization. But he explains that Sean and Dillon share a unique gift--the ability to transfer instantly from place to place. Transitors who are also twins are especially rare, and so they are offered an opportunity to prove themselves as recruits to the human assembly. If they don't succeed within thirty days, their minds will be wiped. Either they make the grade as inter-planetary travelers--or this never happened.

From the infinite imagination of Thomas Locke comes this otherworldly new series that will challenge young readers' understanding of time, space, and human limitations.

Product description

From the Back Cover

"A truly awesome work. . . . Enormously engaging and thought provoking. The concept itself is remarkable, and the writing is absolutely beautiful."--Kim Neimi, former executive vice president, NBC Universal

"Recruits is mind-bending storytelling. . . . An adventurer's feast of the most addictive sort."--Tosca Lee, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Forbidden

"Wow! Recruits is a remarkable feat, combining adroit storytelling with a delicious mixture of the now and the fantastic."--Phyllis Tickle, former senior editor, Publishers Weekly

It's a world they've seen only in their dreams--until now.

Twins Sean and Dillon Kirrel have dreamed about a world beyond their own since they were children, but it has always been a fantasy. Not long before their eighteenth birthday, however, the arrival of a mysterious new neighbor and the revelations he shares bring that far-off world within reach.

When Sean and Dillon learn they share a unique gift--the ability to transfer instantly between worlds--they are offered an opportunity to prove themselves as recruits to the planetary Assembly. But unlocking their abilities awakens an enemy beyond anything they ever imagined, thrusting them into an interplanetary conflict that could consume the entire human race.

Very good book. I recommend it

I loved this book. I was sent a paperback addition of this book for free for an unbiased review. After reading a few pages I bought the kindle version because that is my first choice of reading a book. Too bad they don't offer the free version in e-book format. Anyway, I loved this book and already have the sequel on my wish list. As usual, Thomas writes a book that is tense and spell binding. You get involved with the characters. The reader feels what the characters feel, whether it is the past relationships or the future ones of the characters. Dillion and Sean, twins that in their world seem to feel inadequate are gifted to save a world beyond their understanding. They are teens with grown up experiences. They are misunderstood because they are so young and inexperienced but they have abilities that are beyond their superiors realm of understanding. They have baggage which helps to identify with them because most of us do. Read this book. I think you will love it.

Top ratings for another “great” in...

Reviewed in the United States on 28 October 2017

... Davis Bunn’s series of Thomas Locke-pseudonymed sci-fi/fantasy novels! Some devices and themes here bear resemblance to Bunn’s/Locke’s terrific Fault Lines trilogy, but his canvas in the Recruits series is much more cosmic, intergalactic, even universal. Mind-expanding for both teens and adults, and more “cinematic” than ever!!
