The Rogue Knight

Gr 5–8—Free from the Sky Raiders and fresh from their defeat of Carnag, Cole, Mira, Jace, Twitch, and Joe are on the run. Following Mira's sister, Honor's star, the group is determined to come to her rescue wherever she may be. Missing his friends, Cole's first goal, however, is to find his separated friends, Dalton and Jenna. As they travel farther along, new threats emerge. A slaver is after Cole and determined to drive him back to the Sky Raiders. The Rogue Knight is wreaking havoc on Maarston and Morgassa's turning people into blank, zombie-like figments somewhere to the North. Characters are likable and well developed. The dynamic between them is amusing, mostly realistic, and engaging. Narrator Keith Nobbs complements well these dynamics with his unique voices. His narrative style suits the voice of a teenage boy and easily draws the listener into Cole's world.
