Thomas Hunter is forced to lower the recruiting age from 18 to 16 in order to find enough troops to train for his armies. Of those new recruits, four are chosen to become squad leaders--two boys and two girls--but first they must pass one of Thomas's tests and bring four cacti back to the group. </p> <p>Nothing goes as expected on their quest, though. They are pursued by the Horde and Johnis, the youngest of the four, sees both Roush and Shatiki--both of which vanished 13 years ago. The Roush give Johnis a new mission: he, along with the other three recruits, must recover the six missing Books of History. Silvie is the only one willing to follow John's lead, though, and rescuing the other two from the trouble they bring upon themselves only delays the quest for the books. The books have the power to bring about unspeakable evil if they fall into the wrong hands.</p> 1614867 1 1 2008 Chosen (The Circle Series, Book One) total:548|5:16|4:13|3:10|2:4|1:0| 548 2208 977 78 5 1 false false Sun Apr 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 15 20:09:21 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 22:18:22 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Sep 25 06:25:56 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 08:38:35 -0700 2009 1 Johnis is a young man who recently lost his mother to the Horde.

Chosen is a part of the Books of History chronicles, which is a spin off of the Circle Trilogy.
