Street Freaks

By: Terry Brooks

Narrated by: Simon Vance

"Go into the Red Zone. Go to Street Freaks," his father directs Ashton Collins before the vid feed goes suddenly silent. The Red Zone is the dangerous heart of mega-city Los Angeles; it is a world Ash is forbidden from and one he knows little about. But if he can find Street Freaks, the strangest of aid awaits - human and barely human alike. As Ash is hunted, he must unravel the mystery left behind by his father and discover his role in this new world.

Critic reviews

"[Narrator Simon] Vance sinks his teeth into this futuristic, action-punk, dystopian story. His reading is perfectly timed, shifting seamlessly between emotion and narrative, street racing and corporate espionage. Vance's flawless performance keeps listeners riveted by the bulls-eye painted on Ash." (AudioFile)

MORE STREET FREAKS PLEASE!

I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE TERRY WRITTING SOMETHING NEW
AND QUITE REFRESHINGLY NEW TOO! LOVED THIS STORY HOPE TO SEE MORE.

Terry Brooks does it again!

Once again this great story teller takes us to a world that’s totally believable , yet completely different from our own. The characters are cast offs from that society, but so well written, that they become our temporary family. My only regret is that this appears to be a stand alone book, and not part of a series. Thank you, Terry, for taking me away from the troubles of my everyday world.

Disappointing...

I've always enjoyed the authors Shannara series but this book is very disappointing. It's very juvenile and predictable, basically written for young teens. The main character questions his every thought and action throughout the whole book. It's the worst Terry Brooks book I've ever read.

Pretty good. I'd read it again.

Good book. Different take on life in the future. Interesting and entertaining. Younger audience is the aim but at 36 I had a good time.

Engaging story

Interesting characters and compelling story line. Maintains a good pace to keep your interest without feeling like a race to the end of the book.

nice twist on sexual tensions

great narration. I enjoyed the pace of development of the characters. Strong female personalities and roles.

surprising good book

I was pleasantly surprised. Kept my attention with quite a few new fantasy props. Though I mostly despise coming-of-age tales, I enjoyed this one. Well done.

Wonderful Story

Once again Terry Brooks has written a truly enjoyable book with undertones of truth of what is happening today. Simon Vance does a great job at narration.

Another Brooks Masterpiece

Taking a break from the genre he has dominated for 40 years...Terry has spun a fascinating tale of intrigue set in a dystopian future. From the very first minutes, the story grabs you and drags you into a high speed chase that never ends as his protagonist struggles to untangle the mystery of his fathers desperate last message.

Swearing not like Terry

I have been reading Terry Brooks for 30 years. The amount of swearing in his novel really surprised me as it is not his usual clean no swearing no sex good writing.
I really liked the book but it could be cleaner.
