Description
Bionic agent Jordan Stryker returns with a new mission, new foe and even greater danger. When planes start falling from the sky with no warning and even less explanation, Unit Red has no option but to send out their top recruit - Jordan Stryker, cybernetically-enhanced secret agent - to uncover the truth. In a race against time, Stryker is drawn deep into the hidden world of the Dark Web - the digital catacombs of websites long since abandoned, replaced by newer, better technologies, and unreachable by any search engine. Using these hidden channels, a criminal mastermind is wreaking havoc in the skies using electromagnetic bombs that burn out circuits and render any electronic device unusable, including those in Stryker's implants. Jordan is going to need every ounce of cunning to track down this deadly foe in a mission where his cyber-enhancements are less of an advantage and more of a liability. Fast-paced, action-packed and all too believable, "Jordan Stryker" is a gripping thriller from the best-selling author of "Kiss of Death".
Reviews / Votes
There are plenty of plot twists in this exciting, pacy sequel to 'Jordan Stryker: Bionic Agent' to keep you on the edge of your seat. Gripping stuff! * Primary Times * Buzzing with the thrills and spills of a James Bond blockbuster. * Lancashire Evening Post * A recommended read for Alex Rider fans, this is fast-paced and all-action, although the fictional 'who-dunnit' is almost overshadowed by the shocking true life revelation at the end... * Learning and Support Magazine * Although Malcolm Rose delivers all the required ker-pows and take-thattery, this is a proper, well-plotted detective story for ages eight to 12. * Jewish Chronicle * An action packed thriller in which nothing is too precious to be destroyed. * Lovereading4kids.co.uk * Fast paced adventure story...Simple yet strong prose makes this ideal for young boys (about 9+) who enjoy a fast-paced thriller including bombs, speed boats, explosions, with the added bonus of the whodunit element...A gripping, unputdownable read which will really appeal to any boy who has a taste for adventure and gadgets. * Lovely Treez Reads blog * I have to say that I really enjoyed reading Jordan Stryker. There's a good balance of action, romance and teen sarcastic humour to make this a believable story, but also a flight of fancy too. Teenage boys will love this series if they have ever liked any spy novel. The fact that he is a teenager and he's given all these fantastic additions with his bionics is great in itself, then add to this that he gets his own fancy sports car too (at the end) then you have most 15 / 16 year old boys dream which they can live vicariously through this character. * Soreriamag.co.uk - reviewed by Rob Allwright * Malcolm Rose is one of the master writers of children's fiction and the first book of his new action-packed adventure series is buzzing with the thrills and spills of a James Bond blockbuster and the technological wizardry of Iron Man. * Lancashire Evening Post * There are plenty of plot twists in this exiciting, pacy sequel to 'Jordan Stryker: Bionic Agent' to keep you on the edge of your seat. Gripping stuff! * Primary Times *More details
