THE RED ORDER begins shortly after the events of the first book, The Order of the Seers. Liam and Alessandra are on an extended honeymoon in Italy; and Joel and Lilli have moved from the commune to a Seers facility in London's East End, run by researcher Eli Tanning. This compound is both a safe haven for the Seers, and a research laboratory facility. Guild leader Crane Le Dieu has framed his own scientist, Dr. Ming Jhu, for the escape of the Seers in Chicago; and he and his Guild are running a public smear campaign against the lost Seers. After narrowly evading capture in Italy, Alessandra and Liam join the group in London. Not only has Alessandra discovered some new powers, Joel and Lilli have found that they are able to communicate telepathically with one another, as well as reading each other's thoughts and emotions.

Crane Le Dieu and the Guild have unveiled a new group of Seers know as THE RED ORDER to combat and destroy the lost Seers; fueling their allegiance with lies about the rogue Seers, and the public perception that these Seers are insane. Eli has plans to begin a Restoration Project, a way to activate the psychic abilities of normal humans and level the playing field between the Seers and the Guild. This requires a lab trial in which regular humans will be injected with a drug to enable them to access their dormant seer capabilities. In the meantime, Liam chooses to fight the Guild in his own way. He wants to access a world renowned reporter to put out the Seers side of the story, and let the world know of the evil machinations Le Dieu is perpetuating on the Seers. This turns out to be a plan fraught with dangers, but finally accomplished mostly to their satisfaction. During this time, they have their first confrontation with Red Order Seers, and the battle for the new world order is begun. Liam and Alessandra have struck discord in the beliefs of the Red Order team, however; causing friction among the group that they hope to use to their advantage. After their escape, an unimaginably powerful and evil entity appears, threatening to disrupt everything they have been working for.

THE RED ORDER is more than just the battle for the freedom of the Seers. It's also about lies and double dealings; alliances broken and new ones forged. Although not quite as moving a read as Order of the Seers, this story does a fine job of keeping reader interest and moving the overall series plotline forward. The storyline jumps around a bit, occasionally making it difficult to follow; as it was obviously pulling together the threads for the deadly confrontation to come in the next book of the series. This is an interesting, appealing read in the paranormal genre; and a different take on psychic abilities.
