About the author
Adam Blade
857 books213 followersAdam Blade is the house name for the Working Partners Ltd. ghostwriters who write the Beast Quest and Sea Quest series.
Adam Blade is in his late twenties, and was born in Kent, England. His parents were both history teachers and amateur artists, and Adam grew up surrounded by his father’s paintings of historic English battles – which left a lifelong mark on his imagination. He was also fascinated by the ancient sword and shield that hung in his father’s office. Adam’s father said they were a Blade family heirloom.
As a boy, Adam would spend days imagining who could have first owned the sword and shield. Eventually, he created a character – Tom, the bravest boy warrior of them all. The idea for Beast Quest was born.
When Adam grew up and decided that he wanted to be a writer, he was stuck for ideas – until he remembered the old sword and shield, and the imaginary boy he had created when he was young. Adam decided to bring Tom fully to life so that readers could go on the kind of adventures that he always wanted to when he was that age… And still does, even though he’s grown up!
When he’s not writing Beast Quest books, Adam enjoys visiting museums and ancient battle sites. His main hobbies are fencing and football. He also spends a lot of time at home running around after his two exotic pets – a tarantula named Ziggy, and a capuchin monkey named Omar. These little rascals were the inspiration for two of the Beasts that Tom faces on his Quest – Arachnid and Claw.
Sadly, Adam does not have his own Fire-Dragon or Horse-Man. But he really wishes he did!

Read with the Kiddo, almost entirely with him reading aloud to me.
This felt very much like a transitional installment of the series. There was some worldbuilding, including out first look at Spectron, the city of the Sea Ghosts. There were also some new developments in the ongoing subplot of Max trying to find his lost Mother.
And, of course, there was a desperate battle against one of the Professor's giant robobeasts, in this case a mostrous cyber-jellyfish.
But in spite of Stinger being seemingly immune to all of the weapons Max and his friends try on him, and even after taking out a bunch of Sea Ghosts who try to defend their city, Stinger never feels all that threatening. The fight scenes hit all the right buttons, but the ending seems rushed, and it takes a long time before the monster puts in an appearance.
The Kiddo enjoyed this book, but I felt like it could been structured better.

This installment seemed to end before it really started and I felt as if it where merely a gap-filler, or lead to something more. Would love to learn more about the Sea Ghosts. Maybe in future books. :-)
