"I really enjoyed it, rather sad because only one book left in the series. One major problem I had was that at one point (not mentioned because of spoilers) a character goes on about drawing dollars, in England. That was a bit disappointing."

— Devin, 2/19/2014" Okay book. It's always interesting to see how Alex gets out of all the pickles he gets in. That all the books happened within a year is definitely not credible. "
— Elizabeth, 2/18/2014" This book is very very good "

— Luke, 1/18/2014" A good faced paced story that poor old Alex believes - ha ha - that it is going to be his last assignment. It has a beginning a middle and a brilliant end. Loved it "
— Gillian, 1/9/2014" AWEEESOOMMEE! Increadible. Amazing. LOVED IT! "
— Sarah, 1/8/2014" This book was a non-stop thrill ride. Just when you think the danger is over and Alex is safe, something else comes along. I feel like I was there right beside Alex and now I'm totally exhausted. "
— Shannon, 1/6/2014" all i can say is amazing "
— Lilly, 12/16/2013" This is a great read that has wonderful action and adventure. It's smart enough for adults, but yet clean and fun enough for kids. I'll pass this onto my boys. "
