Titan 3 Spoiler

*Spoiler Alert*
Titan 3: Shadow Games will mark some of the more darker territory that the series will cover. In it someone close to Michael will turn to some bad things and will be put very much in danger. In the book someone close to him working for the Mr. Midnight criminal network will drift a little too far into a life of crime and pay a very dear price for it. They won't die, but they do get hurt and will not be the same nor will many relationships. Titan will be unable to prevent this from happening just as Michael will be unable to talk this person out of doing these things. This is a series for younger readers. I know that for some they may find the suggested violence too much (we don't actually see what happens only find out after words.) but I think we have to give kids credit for being much smarter than we think they are. What I want to do with several points of the series is demonstrate that people have choices. Good and bad is a choice. I also want to show that for every bad decision that people make there is often very serious consequences. This even that happens (I won't say to who but readers will probably be able to narrow it down to a few people and it won't be the first choice you would think either.) will mark Michael and all the people in his life in deep profound ways. It almost marks a true turning point in growing up for Michael who is now about sixteen. I want to challenge kids into thinking about right and wrong and consequence and loyalty and friendship and many other important foundational aspect of life that many adults take for granted when kids are just putting it all together. Kids a re far smarter than many adults want to give them credit for and if I can have kids talking about some important aspects of even darker sides of real life like crime and bad deeds then I think that is very good.
