WHAT HAPPENS IN OUTCASTS 2: On Dulunae, the Planet of Two Moons, a ragged band of teenagers called the Outcasts search for a place of peace known as HayVen.

Danger lurks at every step of the journey. Mindless armies of Antibodies relentlessly attack the Outcasts. Chitin — an invulnerable new breed of creature — strikes silently with lethal razor-sharp pincers. Below the scarred face of Dulunae, hideous monsters wrap poisonous tentacles around their victims.

A brutal being known only as CH’NOPS sows seeds of destruction.

Action reaches a breakneck pace as hordes of Shadow Beasts surround the Font of Knowledge where the Outcasts are hiding. Is the Font the HayVen they seek or an illusive trap? Can the Outcasts overcome their differences in language and culture to save themselves?

WHAT HAPPENS IN Outcasts 1: On planet Dulunae, a unique group of teenagers manage to escape from the ruthless dictator, CH’NOPS, and his brutal army of Antibodies. Together, Gyro, Marina, Lynai’seth and Jax form a group called The Outcasts and scout for safety from the Antibodies.

Coming from different cultures and customs, each of The Outcasts faces the challenge of overcoming and understanding these differences as they struggle to survive the barbaric conditions into which they are thrown.

The Outcasts also set out to search for the place that promises freedom and peace – a place called HayVen. On their journey, they discover even greater dangers and encounter the monstrous creature and killer – the Shadow Beast.

Here’s the brobdingnagian Shadow Beasts boxed set from which came the stunning T-shirt imagery seen below on the MC-KL crowd.

Here’s another picture of the KL team dressed to the nines….

The Marshall Cavendish staff in Malaysia became BEASTS during their picnic…donning the rare, hard-to-find, even-harder-to-buy Shadow Beast shirts.

Pictured is another drawing from the recent library exhibit. The drawing was sold during a silent auction. Proceeds went to an elementary school.

The drawing of Lynai’seth was one of 45 that appeared at a recent library exhibit in North Carolina. The show featured drawings, paintings, pencil roughs and cover designs. They also served as springboard for a series of writing/drawing workshops.

The latest from the Outcasts Sketchbook: Marina, voted the most popular character.

Google Books has recently posted a healthy sampling of pages from Outcasts 2.
