About the author
Billy Bob Buttons
19 books192 followersBilly Bob Buttons is from Earth, the third planet from the sun in a small galaxy called the Milky Way. Subsequently, he is called 'Earthling'. He is 'normal' in many ways - for example, he enjoys chocolate. Note, any earthling suspected of not liking chocolate cannot be trusted and must be exterminated.
Having observed this human from our ship, the following has been noted: He is 14,235 earth days old and plays a sport called 'tennis' a lot, in which he hits a fuzzy green ball over a net and shouts, 'Love 15'. Note, who are the 15? And why is he in love with them? He is also very popular and has 7,745,121 friends. They all live together in a place called 'London'.
He has two matching baby earthlings called, 'No! No! Stop chewing on that electric cable!' and, 'There's no way she needs a nappy change! Is there?!' He also has a mate called 'Sorry, Darling' who seems vastly more intelligent and is the ruler of the dwelling. Finally, he spends lots of earth hours thumping two fingers on the keys of a primitive computer.
To conclude, the specimen must be kidnapped, probed and tested.

It's the story of a counter-assassin in the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian war. The anachronisms and poor use of language threw me from the start, and I don't think I lasted twenty pages.

February 12, 2013Got this book as a first reads winner and the author contacted me to let me know the target audience was teenage boys. I took this into account while reading it.
The book started off in an unexpected fashion with Tor fighting for the French and progresses to follow the main character through a few twists and turns to the point where he becomes an Assassin hunter. Have to say though the ending left me a little baffled until I retread the full title of the book again.
So with the fact that the book is aimed at a younger audience taken into account I was expecting it to be "dumbed down" somewhat but greatfully that's not the case. Just purely and simply an enjoyable read. The addition of the treasure hunt across the trilogy of books is also a great way to keep the readers hooked on the series

Very fast-paced and beautifully written, this is definitely one of th ebest books I've read this calendar year. It's not normally a genre into which I'd delve, but I did on this occassion, and am very glad that i did. Recommended to all.
