LoveReading4Kids Says
If you like your action non-stop, gadget-packed, full of car-chases, fighting and cyber chicanery, then this is the book for you! Caleb Quinn’s mum is a CIA agent and when she is kidnapped by some shady characters he’s recruited by top secret Möbius Programme on a rescue mission. His best friend Zenobia, an absolute whizz at robotics and quite a lot else besides, is signed up as well and the two are assigned codenames Swift and Hawk. The baddies have no idea what they’re up against!
From sewage tunnels under the British Museum to Amsterdam and beyond, the action never lets up and nearly every chapter ends with a cliffhanger. Logan Macx – actually authors Edward Docx and Matthew Plampin – handles plot, tension and character as skilfully as Zen does a circuit board and this is unputdownable reading. One to recommend to fans of Alex Rider.
