Jenna Fox Chronicles series.
In this trilogy ender, Locke (The Fox Inheritance) is recruited by the Resistance to find out whether their missing leader, long presumed dead, is really alive and imprisoned by Security. The Jenna Fox Chronicles distinguish themselves among dystopian novels because of their combination of genre appeal and literary merit, the juxtaposition of personal struggles and political turmoil, and the subtle exploration of human nature.

In this Adoration of Jenna Fox sequel, an unscrupulous scientist restores Locke and Kara's minds into new, improved bodies. They escape into an alien future world with one target: finding Jenna. Locke is the main character, and it's through his viewpoint that we experience the story's thrilling suspense, the friends' charged reunion, and the admirably complex playing out of trust, ethics, and betrayal.

Jenna Fox Chronicles series.
Jenna can't remember her past after emerging from a coma, but pieces of her memory begin to return as she recuperates. The novel is set in a future with advanced biomedical technology, and characters wrestle with the attendant ethical implications. With faith and science woven throughout, this provocative thriller is heightened by its portrait of a family under enormous stress.
