Operation Ocean Emerald

Aaro Korpi #1

by Ilkka Remes

The Ocean Emerald is a floating luxury palace. A cruise ship carrying 1,000 wealthy passengers. And a sitting target for terrorists...

14-year-old Luke Baron isn't supposed to be there in the first place. He only boards the Emerald to return a lost passport, hoping for a finder's fee and a glimpse of the ship. But before he knows it, he's upset the plans of a brutal criminal gang onboard, and is taken captive.

As the ship sails across the stormy Baltic towards certain Hell, will Luke be able to escape and save the terrified passengers around him? Or are they fast travelling to their doom?

Klassista Ilikkaa, nopee tempo ja jänskättävä :)

Iha ok alku vähä sekalainen mutta selkeni loppua kohden

I loved the way Luke just fell into the adventure and at the beginning was an ordinary boy and by the end had saved so many lives while making friends along the way!!! I also adore the plot twist at the end!!!

I was advised to check out Ilkka Remes in english but didn't realise that he also writes YA fiction. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable read with a likeable teen hero and plenty of Finland references.

Nämä nuorten kirjatkin ovat jännittäviä.

[Otso Tiirikkala · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s not bad but it’s not mind blowing either. Alright though.

Piraatit on juoneltaan monia Remeksen nuorten kirjoja uskottavampi. Laivakaappaus ja monet paljastuvat salaisuudet koukuttavat lukijan hyvin, vaikka loppupuoli tuottaakin pienen pettymuksen.

Remes ei ole teekuppini.
