Beyond Redemption

Thieves' Guild Origins: LC #2

by C.G. Hatton

The infamous Thieves’ Guild, the most secretive organisation in the galaxy, doesn’t recruit kids… and with good reason.
But now circumstances force their hand. When an undercover operation goes wrong, they have no choice but to bring in two potential recruits they’ve been watching.
Pulled from the chaos of the rebellion on Kheris, Luka finds himself thrown into the intense arena of field-op training alongside Zach Hilyer, another kid with a troubled past.
Still struggling with injuries, and sent into a place far more dangerous than even the guild realises, Luka doesn’t know who he can trust and has no way out. The stakes rise fast, and he is faced with a decision that could prove fatal for them both.

The second book in the science fiction action/adventure Thieves’ Guild origins series, following directly on from Kheris Burning…

Reviews

[Lyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book wasn't stellar in the writing, but it certainly kept my attention completely through, so I give it 4.5 stars. The beginning was a little weird, though. But it made a little more sense at the end. However, the first and last few pages aren't really the story. The rest of it is. Overall, I enjoted it, and I would recommend it.
Note: I received this book for free through Goodreads Giveaways.

fantastic action story

[C.K. Roebuck · Rating 5 out of 5]

I started reading this book and literally could not put it down, as I started reading late at night I thought I would read a little in bed before going to sleep. The problem was that I enjoyed the story so much that I continued reading straight through to the end and by that time it was early morning and the sun was up.
Beyond Redemption is highly addictive and an excellent sequel to Kheris Burning, following the story of the Young Luka Cole "Anderton" from the Thieves Guild series.
The story is gripping and barely pauses for breath and like the previous books the story rolls. It doesn't have huge amounts of overanalysing detail to fill up pages just very good story that is a joy to read.
I for one look forward to reading what Mrs Hatton writes next..
If you love SciFi and adventure then I recommend reading the Thieves Guild series and these prequels, currently book one Residual Belligerence is free on Amazon Kindle.
