“The Big Apple Posse: Escape From New Orleans” is the sequel to “The Big Apple Posse” and the second book of “The Big Apple Posse Trilogy.” Last October, Amanda and her brother Peter of Greenwich, Connecticut, were trapped in New York City after terrorists blew up several buildings in the City, including the theater where they waited with their cousin Cindy to be picked up after a show. They escaped with the help of some new friends who formed The Big Apple Posse to figure out how to leave a city where there are no longer any busses, subways, taxis, working phones, or internet service. With the help of one of their new friends and posse members, Thibodeaux Botrain (a teenage boy who lives in Harlem with his Aunt Tina), they found proof that the so-called terrorists were actually a gang of South African diamond thieves. It is now the end of February, and Amanda and Peter live in New Jersey with a former FBI agent, hiding until they can testify in the “terrorist trial of the century” in June. One afternoon, Amanda sees one of the terrorists hiding in the trees, watching her play soccer. She grabs Peter and travels into the City to seek help from Mr. Benedicte Trudeau, Thibodeaux’s Auntie Tina’s lawyer. Mr. Trudeau arranges for Amanda, Peter, and Thibodeaux to travel to New Orleans to hide with some of Thibodeaux’s relatives. They arrive in New Orleans and soon find that Amanda, Peter, and Thibeaux are supposed to live in an apartment on New Orleans’ funky Magazine Street, watched over by Thibodeaux’s beautiful seventeen-year-old cousin, Solange (an aspiring ballet dancer and singer), and one of Mr. Trudeau’s sons, Michael, a twenty-three-old intern at his brother’s hip-hop label. The posse has arrived in New Orleans just in time for Mardi Gras, and they fall into a world of music, dance, Vodou, and romance. New Orleans is a cultural stew where no one “stands out,” but are they safe? Can anyone successfully hide in a world of Facebook, Google, Youtube, and facial recognition software? And can the posse escape a gang of terrorists who will do anything to prevent them from testifying? “The Big Apple Posse: Escape From New Orleans” is the second installment of “The Big Apple Trilogy.” The first book, “The Big Apple Posse: Escape From New York,” was published in February of 2011. The third and final book of the trilogy, “The Big Apple Posse: Escape from Los Angeles,” was published in August of 2012. “Solange’s Song,” the young adult sequel to the “Big Apple Posse” books, was published in January of 2014. All the books are available on Amazon.com. The “Trilogy” books and “Solange’s Song” were re-edited and updated in March of 2021.
