Defiance (Book 2)

Once again, fifteen-year-old Trey and his six friends find themselves extracted – this time, into an Anasius seventy years older than the one they left.

Navigating grief, hostile forces and an underground resistance, the group meet a mysterious figure called Melek. Will they be able to turn things around? And will Zika be able to forgive himself?

Selected Endorsements

"Defiance artfully delivers all the earmarks of a fantastic thriller, without the unnecessary distractions of foul language and explicit scenes. This is a can’t miss sequel of the crew back in action. Plus, by the time I closed the pages, I walked away with a new appreciation for looking out for my friends and seeking the inner healing that we all desperately need to fulfil the duty of a higher calling."

Nicolas C. Day,  Selah Award finalist and author of Into the Great Marinara

“Rich Castro has taken the friendships, fears and frustrations of teenage life and crafted a high-octane fantasy adventure that demonstrates why underestimating the talents and tenacity of young people is rarely a good idea.”

Peter Andrews, Resources Manager, Urban Saints
