White Mesa seems like a utopia in the midst of a gangland waste.

For Ricco, though, it means rules, chores, and endless endless lectures on morality from his dad…make that his adoptive dad. After being expelled from the militia and banned from all activities off the family farm, Ricco might only have one choice to make a life of his own: join the New Republic, his homeland’s polar opposite in the city.

How could he imagine the consequences his actions will have for his entire world?

(While intended to be able to stand on its own, "Renegade" is the forth book in the "White Mesa Chronicles".)
