[Vanessa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Untouchable was a really good finish for Chris Ryan's series! It was, as all of the other books, different in its plot and setting, which I found hugely entertaining, as well as there's something new to "learn" or hear about all the time! I think Chris Ryan lights up problems, sometimes bigger sometimes smaller, all over the world, and even though - of course - he has to exaggerate for the story and suspense, most of these things happen somewhere, and it's astonishing to see where these places could be, that it has not got to be that far away, but that some sort of crime could be happening right in your doorstep!
That's what I like about the books, Chris Ryan takes real problems and turns them into great and page-gripping stories, so even younger readers get something out of it. It's not grasped out of thin air, but there's always a certain issue or component to it, that lets you think about the world and the things happening in it! Thanks for this amazing series!

Untouchable, a book set in Scotland, follows a group of people who are helping in running an adventure camp in the highlands. They help with troubled kids who frequent in trouble and attempt to keep them out of it. Everything seems normal when they stumble across a lab full to the brim with illegal drugs. The book attempts to sell itself as an action-packed book, with no boring portions. In reality, it would go long periods of time with mind-numbingly boring scenes and uses very cliche ways of telling the story. I would not recommend the book to anyone who does not want to waste their time with an extremely generic and lackluster book.

To be honest, the book was a slow start. However, Chris made up for it with amazing action throughout the story. I was really bumbed out that this was the last book in the series, since I enjoyed it so much. After the first book, this is one of my top favourites in the series. Unfortunately, I was left unsatisfied at the ending. I mean, after all that action and drama, you'd think the book would have a better ending!! 😔
However, I cannot deny that this was an exciting read. (And the quiz at the end was nice - not related to the plot btw 😉)

A good finale but seemed a little weak in some areas. I will miss Hex and Amber a lot though 🥲

God what a terrible book. Flitting between badly written and boring, I genuinely had to force myself to finish this book. I don't like to leave a book unfinished once I've started, but this is the closest I have ever come. The metaphors made me feel like I was reading my own original writing pieces from year 8 of high school. I was given another book about the author serving in the military special forces, and was very gratified to read that it had been heavily criticised for inaccuracy, self idolisation and dishonouring the memory of fallen comrades. This gratified me because I could throw the book from my tbr pile, and rest assured that this book I was currently struggling through was indeed complete dross.

As good as all the other Alpha Force books I've read, I can't wait to see what happens next.

Ironically, this was the first book I read in this series.
