Enjoyable installment of this series, to truly get everything it has to offer, read the 3 previous books. Everyone is settling in place within the new family unit for the most part, although as the story gets going we find out not everything is hunky dory with decisions the twins have made. This episode is about someone from Valerie's past and the threats he has made against her and how they take care of that threat leading to the action we have come to know from these books. Lots of action and technology in the espionage world.

Another great read from a great writer!

I don't read much for fiction these days but when I do Rod Penningtons books are where I head. Great story and I love the characters

Short, slightly repetitive if you have read the earlier of the series but if you have not it includes all the backstory you 'need' to follow the plot. In contrast to the others this one has A Point and, I expect, the future story line will pivot on this point. I like that a lot. I liked this book a lot. I am not Olivia's biggest fan but I think now I could be, if she "gets the point". The point bring that its time to grow up basically. Aside from that.... this was a rather sweet story without the annoyance I get from Olivia. Even when heads rolled it had a feel good aspect the other books didn't. I almost didn't read this one but now am very glad I did. No plot hints. It must be each reader's experience and chance to figure out the puzzle of who what where when why.

This is another fun Charon family adventure. As always, there is a lot of action, witty dialogue and fun surprises at the end. Frank Murphy is a great new bad guy; it was really hard not to like him though. He had some great gadgets that made for some wonderful scenes. Olivia and Master Roshi are my favorite and are great for laughs throughout the book. There are a couple new characters that I look forward to seeing more of in the future also. This family is a bit crazy but they add up to an awesome combition of characters I never get tired of reading about their adventures.
