Interest Age 8+ Reading Age 8 | In a nutshell: edge-of-the-seat stuff that puts comradeship at the heart of the action
As ever, Chris Bradford begins his story explosively, and then keeps the tension super-taut until the very last chapters. Despite his special bullet-catcher ability Troy is at the mercy of The Judge, one of the most ruthless and wicked villains you’re likely to encounter, and his friend and colleague Kasia is in a coma: could this be the end for SPEAR’s battalion of teenage super spies? Of course not! The fight back offers everything you would expect from this author and this series, nail-biting scenes and confrontations, and the triumph of teamwork and good over evil. It’s super satisfying, and super readable. ~ Andrea Reece

Would you stand in the line of fire? That's exactly what Troy has been doing as a member of super-skilled team SPEAR, taking bullet after bullet to protect the Mayor of Terminus City and his beautiful daughter Pandora. But Troy's abilities might not be as permanent as he thought, and the Judge and his 'freedom fighters' are becoming even more deadly.
Bulletcatcher: Blowback is the exciting conclusion to Chris Bradford’s widely-acclaimed Bulletcatcher trilogy. Chris’ unique take on the superhero genre comes front and centre as he expertly weaves his knowledge of martial arts and close protection into the narrative, bringing an effortless sense of immersion that pulls the reader into the very pulse of the action.
Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 9+
