It came down to this, he didn't know his name, or what he looked like until he looked at the stranger in the mirror of the restroom, and then he still didn't know. He soon adopts a bogus name, Coby Clinton...(and that first name is not a typo)...that's the name he chooses. Don't ask why, just read the book. The storyline is crisp and fast, with many characters who enter in...people you care about, and some you perhaps wish were not allowed in. Even the nasty ones serve a purpose...and with the blended humor, mysteries, and events of inspiration, there is room for romance and friendship. It's like a good movie where you know at some point that you care about not only the people, but also the direction of the plot. This is the second book by the author...a prequel to "The Rebels"...the good news is that it stands on it's own from the start, and the reader does not have to be familiar with that storyline; even if the Rebels were read later, it would not matter. There is only one character from the first book woven into this tale. The strength of the story is in the revelation and evolution of its characters, it's humor, suspense, action and it's infatuation with loving the five leading characters, and hoping they will somehow interact. The endings of the books I personally like, leave me smiling. I programmed this book to do that.
