Working together covertly to outmaneuver criminals and distribute ill-gotten gains through random acts of kindness, five tech-savvy kids are caught in an epic battle to control a genius super-computer that is seeking world domination.

Urban Outlaws

Deep beneath London, five extraordinary youths, orphans who bonded over their shared sense of justice, have formed the Urban Outlaws and dedicated themselves to outsmarting criminals and performing Random Acts of Kindness (R.A.K.s), but they are in serious trouble when the face a genius super-computer, Proteus.

Urban Outlaws is a very fast-paced story about a group of orphans who find each other and form a group to take money from criminals and give it to those in need. Each character has his/her own story, but we learn the most about Jack, who is the leader of the group and we see the story through his eyes. The Outlaws live together in an underground bunker from World War II that they have remodeled to fit their needs. Their little world is disrupted when they find a supercomputer called Proteus that is able to gather intel about everyone. The Outlaws accidentally "fix" the computer and now must find a way to destroy it. I would like to have known more of a back story for the supporting characters, but overall this is quite a good read. I'll be looking forward to the next book in the series, Blackout.
