From School Library Journal Gr 8 Up—London creates an intricately high tech world in which the heroes find themselves on an action-packed quest to save humanity from a zombielike illness and thoroughly corrupt government. After the Jubilee and change in governments, Syd reluctantly finds himself the icon of the Reconciliation with a lovelorn bodyguard, Liam. Syd and Liam race against time and villains, all the while falling in love. This dystopian Detroit has the usual trappings of science fiction—hovercrafts, new ecosystems, gadgets—and the ideals of growing one's own food, communal property, equality, and the evil of debt. Much like Mao's Great Leap Forward (complete with a bedridden gangster leader and illegal "covetous" thoughts), people suffer while the government knowingly feeds off their misery. The message lacks subtlety: absolute power corrupts absolutely. This maxim is illustrated by the Council wittingly allowing people to die of the zombielike illness because the cure requires the rebuilding of the machine that once held them captive to corporations. The Council will destroy themselves if need be; they refuse to return to the old ways. Yet Syd and Liam are willing to fight to the death. Regrettably, Syd seems to have lost some of his moxy, and both characters are fairly two-dimensional, but Proxy (Philomel, 2012) fans will be satisfied with the constant action and the conclusion to Syd's story.—Laura Falli, McNeil High School, Austin, TX

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Well, Mr London, you've got me beggin' you for more. By Årolilja Grimsdottir This is the second book in a series, and we are all familiar with the posible disappointment a second book can be compared with the first one. I loved Proxy and was so happy when I found out the second book had already come out. These books are special in my opinion because they are for a young audience (I'd say age 14 and up, perfect for those who are tired of the "safe" Percy Jackson stories and want some more blood and daring/realistic language) and the lead protagonist is dark skinned and gay! There's almost always a character that is gay, but it's never the lead character, still these books aren't at all about being gay or anything, it's just that the lead person is gay and I think that's really cool. I enjoyed the first book a lot and was kinda nervous about the second book, scared of what would happen, would it be as good as the first one or would I be totally disappointed? Some new characters came into the book pretty early and that also made me nervous. But ... it didn't take long before I was in love once again! One of the main characters in Guardian is a seventeen year old guy named Liam who's got a metal hand! How cool is that? I already loved Syd, never liked Marie much, though it got better in this book, I worshipped Knox, and I quickly fell for Liam too (pluss his physical description looks exactly like my brothers not that you should care). Guardian is full-packed action from chapter 4 and out. There's blood and tears and fear and love and humour. This is one of those rare books you can say did not disappoint at all. I thought it was nearly as good as the first one and I enjoyed it to the end. Now I'm biting my fingernails waiting for the third one. Hurry up, Alex London! I need the third one! Dear reader, just pick up Guardian, okay? Good boy/girl *patting head* Oh, and BTW if you're looking for something similar to Proxy and Guardian, try Red Rising by Pirece Brown, or the Legend series by Marie Lu. Have a nice life and happy new year! God bless

Personally I Loved It By TheStoryGoes So you know how these days a lot of the time you read the first book in a series/trilogy/duology and it's completely awesome and it pulls you in and consumes you and you spend a year obsessively stalking the Internet for every little scrap of info as you patiently(ha) wait for the sequel to FINALLY come out and then a lot of the time it's kind of a disappointment? It's not that it's bad but it's just not quite as good? It's as if the author lost momentum some where? Well not with this book! It is at least as good as the first and, in my opinion, definitely not a disappointment. Now I don't want to give away any spoilers or anything for Proxy and honestly I don't want to sit here and write out a long detailed review of why this book is awesome and why you should read it and all the things so I'll just talk about some of my favorite things and then you can read the book, okay?A Few Of My Favorite Things - -Liam - He's no Knox but he is awesome. I wouldn't say that I liked him as much as I liked Knox but it was pretty damn close. He's just a really complex character and yeah I loved him. -Syd - Okay Syd had some down moments in this book but that didn't make me love him any less, maybe it even made me love him a little more. He was still himself, sure he was changed and sad and slightly depressed but in the end he didn't let that stop him. -The plot - I didn't really know how this book as going to go because honestly when I read Proxy I thought it was a stand alone and I was kinda apprehensive about this but it was awesome. It made total sense and it just added so much to the story. Basically I loved it, are you seeing a pattern here? I am. - Twisty - I feel like there were some very interesting twists in this book and I loves me a good twist.And now I think I am running out of things to say and my brain doesn't feel like cooperating and yeah.Your turn! Read the book! READ IT!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A disappointing sequel By Monique @ Mo_Books First I would like to say that I adored reading Proxy, the first book in the series. It was the first LGBT book that I've ever read and I had never read anything quite like it before. A world where good standing citizens "patrons" has designated poor folk "proxies" to take their punishment when they broke the law. Interesting right? I did like the introduction of the new character, Liam. He seemed like a pretty decent guy and made an interesting addition to the story. He was entirely devoted to keeping Syd safe. But it never really went into depth and explained why he was so willing to protect Syd in the first place, besides the obvious crush he had on him. Something else that I did like about this story was how Syd was willing to stick up for the Guardians (who developed a sickness resulting from the Machine being shut down) when no one else was willing to help them. He saw the humanity still in them that no one was willing to take a second glance at. Something about this book that I did not like, was that the world building felt incomplete, as well as the characters. This story was more about a revolution that happens during a revolution and veered off track from what I thought was an interesting enough storyline. As hard as I tried, I could not feel that "magic" that I had felt before. I was extremely excited to read this sequel, unfortunately for me the Guardian did not live up to the expectations that I held after reading Proxy. I found that the world building as well as the character development fell short in this story, and the plot became questionable. There were still a few exciting moments in this book, but I have to say it's one that wasn't really for me. I don't know if I will be continuing on with the series are notI give this a 2 out of 5 stars.
