Genre            :   YA/Thriller

Author           : Andy McNab and Robert Rigby

Synopsis        :

              When Danny Watts, 17 year old orphan whose ambition is to join the army, is turned down because his grandfather is a traitor, he decides to hunt him and bring him to justice. But can he catch Fergus Watts, an SAS veteran, who has been able to evade the country’s top investigation agencies? Danny has only his friend Elena to assist him in his quest. And unknown to them, the MI6 is watching their every move.  

Opinion        :The story is too slow and the plot shallow. If you are above 17, you will get bored. As for the kids, the military jargon makes it confusing.

Who should read this    : Young teens with interest in espionage or super spy stories.

Who shouldn’t read this: Those with no interest in buying the sequels(The story seems to be incomplete without them).
