Publisher's summary

Sometimes you have to go home to find out who you really are.

Charlie West went to bed one night an ordinary high-school student. He woke up a hunted man. Terrorists are trying to kill him. The police want to arrest him for the stabbing death of his best friend. He doesn't know whose side he's on or who he can trust. With his pursuers closing in on every side, Charlie makes his way back to his hometown to find some answers.

There, holed up in an abandoned mansion, he's joined by his friends in a desperate attempt to discove rthe truth about a murder he can't remember - and the love he can never forget.

Critic reviews

"[A]ction sequences that never let up, and showy set pieces (escaping a library, investigating a haunted house, even downloading software) that are wrung for every possible drop of nervous sweat. Best of all, unlike many second chapters, this one pays off with some seriously heavy revelations." (Booklist)

Anohter Enjoyable book in the Homelanders Series

I enjoyed this installment in the series; the characters are fun and the banter between the group of friends trying to help the main character, Charlie West, is entertaining. West's reflections on his situation are also great. I do wish more would get resolved in each book but they are engrossing in that things are constantly happening. Also, at the end of this one you do feel that the overall plot of this series is starting to take shape.

Great series

I'm so glad that this isn't a Christian romance series, rather a Christian fast paced action series. It's so refreshing to read a series devoid of sex, alcohol, drugs, & cursing.

Great Book!

I got through this one so fast I forget to rate it.
I love this series, highly recommend.
It is very suspenseful and it has a great wholesome storyline.

Good read for all. Warning, it will be hard to only read 1, but start at books #1

Exciting page turner

Great story made even better by the great narration. I’ve listened to the first two books of this series in about as many days! Ready to start the third.

No Sophomore Slump

The second book in the series is as good as the first. With most characters introduced in the first book, the second gets to flesh out more depth and pack in extra action. I highly recommend this series for anyone who wants to get a young boy interested in reading without subjecting them to questionable morals.
