This silly series wraps up with a whimper as one of the minor characters on Bhodi Li's team of good guys gets the spotlight.
Baethan, the cyborg wizard with no emotions, is forced to deal with his human side when an old enemy strikes.
There's an interesting PSA in the middle of the story where the characters talk about the dangers of playing laser tag in public where police may mistake your toy for a real gun.
The only other surprising thing here is that this series based on a TV show that is in turn based on a laser tag toy managed to last for six books.
I doubt there will be a reboot in the future . . .
