Nanoagents: Induction
Librarian's note: This an alternate cover for: B00FEN5W9M
Seth Brennan is a typical, run-of-the-mill kid genius who is leading the school’s computer club into the upcoming science fair.
Seth gets an email from Xabigan Industries while working on ideas for a project. The email promises a new piece of technology that will revolutionize the way people use the Internet. And it includes free shipping!
The problem is that a lot of computer-savvy kids have gone missing over the last few months, so Seth wants to be careful with this new piece of tech. Unfortunately, his friend and next-door neighbor, Chen, also got the email from Xabigan Industries and he’s never careful with anything.
When Seth gets home from school that night he learns that Chen has disappeared!
Could Xabigan Industries be behind these disappearances? Could this new technology have some sinister application that nobody knows about?
Seth has to connect the tech, outwit a couple of robots, foil the plans of a malevolent alien, and try to save Chen before it's too late!

"Best Book Ever"
Okay, that's an unprompted opinion from my 7 year old who just zipped through Nanoagents. She loved the characters and the storyline and she immediately asked if there were more books in the series. Definitely a hit at our house!
As a disclaimer, I won the book through a Goodreads Giveaway by the author but it isn't biasing my review and my daughter certainly didn't know where the book came from!
I read the first chapter and skimmed the book before giving it to her. I liked the writing style, the diverse characters and the way it made computer science cool. ;) I particularly liked how Seth thought things through and Xabigan was an excellent villain.
I would highly recommend this for a young reader with an interest in adventure stories and/or computers. And my daughter just came to me and saw me with the book and said she wishes "there were 100 nanoagent books in the series." So, get to work Mr. Logsdon! :)

This is a very good story. It is a quick read (95 pages), and I highly recommend checking this book out.
The first couple of chapters are about getting to know the protagonist Seth Brennan, and his friends (future team). The story leading to the climax is very well done, and believable. I love that the antagonist in the story is an alien, and that he is a legitimate baddie. Seth is a clever, smart, and tough boy who is able to resolve the situation in a very cool way- you find out why the book is called nanoagents induction.

Mars Rover (Nanoagents: The Alien Files Book 4
Mission 5: (Nanoagents:The Return of Xabigan 5
Can be gotten as Nanoagents: The Alien Files Bundle with all
Kidlike but not juvenile, my grandkids would like this actually; Of the 5 set this is the only one not on Kindle Unlimited separately but since the set includes all 5 of the books available in the series, not bad. Was a few collections of other other stories, written under another name, and definitely not for kids although older teens would probably enjoy those for the random bathroom and other type humor. These stories are more kid geek/gamer type stories though.

Read this book out loud to my boys at night. I thought it was cute. I liked the fact it's kids in a computer club and they all had different interests that had to do with computers. The story had action that kept my kids interested and wanting to know what happens next.
My six year old loved it. He liked Seth and Chen but Seth was his favorite. My four year old liked the robots.
This looks to be a series we will keep reading.
Id recommend for parents to read to there kids or for kids who can read on their own. It's an easy read and I think the toughest word was the bad guys name.
