Reviews
"This is a book about a group of teenagers, written by a young author.
Despite his tender age, Dawson writes in a refreshing punchy style. It
is slightly reminiscent of a James Bond adventure, but with it being
targeted at young adults, there is a unique perspective on the story. <p>Despite
it being aimed at a much younger audience, I found the book an
enjoyable read. Dawson enters the world of his imagination, meeting
people that are familiar to him from his `real life'. He and his fellow
agents have to overcome another organisation that is set on world
domination, and they are not as concerning regarding non-violence as
the BLUE agency. There is one major objective throughout the story, but
plenty of problems along the way that Josiah and his fellow agents need
to overcome. Some of these are completed successfully; others don't go
quite as planned. </p><p>There is good interplay between the main
characters, and as the story progresses their relationships develop
from acquaintances into good friendships with strong ties for each
other. The story is fast paced, giving the reader little time to pause,
I found it a real page turner. Each chapter leaves you wanting to find
out what happens next. I found the book drew me in so much that I read
it in one sitting." --Kopek Review</p>
