wow i just found these books too. they are FULL of CONNECTIONS
DIG
First graph of the first book introduces "G" a "seventh son" and "chosen one"
also another connection. G's dad is named Ruby. The sign Fusca holds at the youngstown rally has Ruby handwritten on it
there is so much more in all three books. the main characters are in hiding and sail through, where? THE FLORIDA KEYS, KEY LARGO
