"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."

" eh, it was not that ninja "
— Ramesbo, 2/20/2014" This is a very good book and there is a lot of action, suspense and adventure. I recomend this book to readers who like the action genre. "
— 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 "
— Ole, 2/7/2014" Spectacular character development, much darker than the previous books, the action is fast paced and the villains are rather enjoyable. "

— 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. "
— Wendy, 12/9/2013" This was absolutely 100% extremely suspenseful, heart-stopping, i don't want to move have to finish book material. And McCain completely sucks. (once you read the book you'll get it) "

— Leonora, 7/30/2012" Very good books, I really enjoy them, even if they are a little predictable. I believe this is the second last book, one more to go, and I really want to read the final book to see how things finally end for Alex. "
