The Lovereading comment:
The second in the Nemesis quartet, a heart-stopping and highly original crime thriller series from the award-winning and highly acclaimed author Catherine McPhail. Nemesis : The Beast Within finds Ram cheating death not once but four times, but despite that someone still remains desperate to kill him. He also finds that a gut feeling he has means his strange, secret past could have global significance.
Boys in particular will be drawn to the whole package – the dramatic cover look, the short time frame in which all four thrillers are set, the short, pacy chapters, the cliff hangers and the dynamic, independent, resourceful boy hero. Nemesis is the junior Bourne Identity so fans of Robert Ludlum’s writing will appreciate just how good and suitable the Nemesis quartet is for the fans thereof.
Other books in the series include Into The Shadows, Sinister Intent, and Ride Of Death.
Perfect for Reluctant Readers as well as keen readers. To view other titles we think are suitable for reluctant readers please click here.
