Tormented by his mother’s death…
Taken for granted by his father…
Trained in deadly martial arts…
Jason Steed is looking for a place to call home. He finds what he’s looking for in the Sea Cadets-an elite group of British youngsters being groomed for lifelong service in the military. But when a routine training exercise goes awry, Jason finds himself in the middle of a secret mission. The future of the world hangs in the balance…and Jason might be the only one who can save it.
“Sorry, sir, I have to turn off the radio. I need to concentrate. The mission objective is stuffed down my underwear.”
This was a very cool book. Self-published, and with that thing that says to you it’s not a big name, but the story is gripping and the writing flows, even if it’s a little uneven in spots. I love Cooper’s reason for writing the book, and the whole idea is cleverly executed (think a whole book building up to alex rider or Zak Darke) The ending promises more to come, and more there is, and happy I am.
