Max Gordon is back in the third and latest thriller in the Danger Zone series trying to get to the bottom of his mother’s death in a Central American jungle. After a former student and friend of Max from Dartmoor High, who was investigating the death, turns up dead of a supposed suicide, Max realizes he will have to look into it himself. From the opening page, Max’s hijinks and the danger that follows him will keep readers riveted to the final page. While his adventures are implausible, there is an explanation for why he is so resourceful in the wild, capable of getting out of any scrape, even with grown men, and able to survive another day—his boarding is no ordinary school though it is unclear what kind of training the students are receiving. This time a vicious assassin and an MI5 operative is chasing him from London to Miami to somewhere in the Central American jungle. He saves a drug dealer from being murdered, he escapes from a bombed speedboat unscathed, and avoids being killed by wild things in the jungle. (Not finished)… (mais)
