2012 ms VG-BN Conflict
In the wake of a kidnapping, Q and his
stepsister find themselves in hot pursuit of the terrorists responsible, with
much thrilling derring-do along the way. Smith
really knows how to get the adrenaline flowing with his action-packed
descriptions of cat-and-mouse interplay among the “goodies” and the
“baddies”. His timing and sense of
danger are ever-present features that will keep young readers who enjoy
thrillers turning the pages.
This reviewer questions the morality of
handing children books in which the protagonists casually activate drones to
kill their enemies, in light of the real-life use of drones being used all over
the world. However, one cannot deny that
this book is well written and will engage readers who enjoy edge-of-your-seat
adventure and unexpected turns of plot.
