Synopsis

In Ann Aguirre's Outpost, the Freaks from Enclave are back, and this time they're much smarter.

Deuce's whole world has changed. Down below, she was considered an adult. Now, topside in a town called Salvation, she's a brat in need of training in the eyes of the townsfolk. She doesn't fit in with the other girls: Deuce only knows how to fight.

To make matters worse, her Hunter partner, Fade, keeps Deuce at a distance. Her feelings for Fade haven't changed, but he seems not to want her around anymore. Confused and lonely, she starts looking for a way out.

Deuce signs up to serve in the summer patrols—those who make sure the planters can work the fields without danger. It should be routine, but things have been changing on the surface, just as they did below ground. The Freaks have grown smarter. They're watching. Waiting. Planning. The monsters don't intend to let Salvation survive, and it may take a girl like Deuce to turn back the tide.

Goodreads review by Maja (The Nocturnal Library) on September 17, 2012

Here we are again: me singing praise to Ann Aguirre and you guys putting up with me. (Oh, stop trying to run away, I’m not about to start singing for real.) I must admit I was terrified of reading this book, but not because I doubted Aguirre in the least. After reading 11 of her books and loving the......more

Goodreads review by karen on June 08, 2020

this three star rating should not be a mark against this book; i am just giving it a three because i liked it slightly less than enclave, to which i gave four stars, and that is the way i do math... and of course the first book in a series is usually the best: new characters, new setting, exciting w......more

Goodreads review by Nicole on January 25, 2016

Unsurprisingly, I liked Outspost as much as I liked Enclave if not even more. It kept me interested since the first chapter. I just liked less analysing sometimes. It was useless. And more description (shockingly). But this book still was great. After being rescued by Longfoot, Deuce and her friends......more

Goodreads review by Anagha Uppal on September 28, 2012

*This review contains some spoilers, especially for those who have not read Enclave* That second paragraph of the synopsis reminds me of Ashes by Ilsa Bick and how much I can't wait to read this book!!! July 26: Just got an ARC of Outpost. Color me excited!! September 27 - This probably sounds redundant......more

Goodreads review by Courtney on June 10, 2016

I have to admit that I am love with this book. I loved Deuce and Fade and I am SOOO glad she made it clear to Stalker early on that things weren't going anywhere between them. I can never get over Stalker being a rapist and I will never see him as a love interest. Plus, he feels very manipulative to......more
