Sabotage

Jimmy Coates #4

by Joe Craig

Betrayal is explosive

Shot down, stranded, and assumed dead, Jimmy faces his greatest struggle yet. The CIA spy plane that was supposed to carry him to safety is in flames, along with vital intelligence about secret missiles. The truth survives only in Jimmy’s head. He must get back to warn the CIA—if he can survive long enough.

Unsure of whom to trust, Jimmy is worried that his human side is slipping away. Should he let the programing take over? Will it save him or destroy him?

I received a free digital copy for review.

11-year-old Jimmy's adventure saga continues. He has amazing adventures similar to the "Mission Impossible" movie series. The action is non-stop throughout the book. I still think this series would be exciting for the audience of perhaps 12-18. The lines between good and evil continue to be black and white. The dystopian "Neo-Democratic" Britain's leaders and supporters are power-greedy and without conscience.

I would be interested to see what this author could write for an older audience as well. He has a great imagination.

I thought this book was pretty good except everything in this series is becoming repetitive. I'm not sure if I really want to read the next book because this one wasn't all that different than the previous books.

[Julia Phillips · Rating 4 out of 5]

More danger and deception for Jimmy. The action, always fast-paced, moves into another gear. Excellent plot yet again.

This is a decent YA adventure type novel; I started reading the series after I'd finished the Alex Rider books. This series isn't as dark nor as deep, but it's fun.

This book had a really good adventure with some unexpected outcomes. This 4th book in the series is the best so far.

I think I mostly enjoyed this book because there were constantly mystery and suspense that always catches you by surprise (year7)

- The storyline of this book was great, and I enjoyed reading it, although it took me a while. After the reading the other two I got a bit tired of the "programming taking over" drama, and it wasn't quite as interesting as the others. There are 10+ books in the series, and I don't think I'm going to commit to finding all the others and reading them all, although I might if I see them somewhere.
- I would recommend this book to people who like adventure, spy, and science fiction.
