Unfortunately this was all action and no substance. I'm not sure how we are supposed to care about the characters in this series since most of them are figments of Daniel's imagination. The trip to the past to visit Merlin and Arthur was a very promising concept, but the execution failed miserably. The story quickly backslid into simply another fight scene. I'm not sure if I can stick with this series after this one.

Something confuses me: I was reading the summary in this book, and it doesn't seem to fit. Here it is:
"As DAniel X continues to hunt for intergalactic aliens, he and his friends go to England searching for Beta, an outlaw who takes the form of fire and who killed Daniel's parents when he was two years old."
First off, the Prayer was killer of his parents, no? And second, he was three when his parents died. Am I missing something?
Of course, this will be the first time I've read this book. Let's see what happens.

"Daniel X's hunt to eliminate each and every intergalactic criminal on Earth is always relentless, but this time, it's getting personal. Number Three on the List of Alien Outlaws takes the form of raging, soul—possessing fire. And fire transports Daniel back to the most traumatic event of his life—the death of his parents."
LOVE IT!
LOVE IT!

More rubbish from the world of Patterson Inc - rubbish for young adults dressed up as fantasy. AN unconvincing plot, two dimensional characters, ridiculous twists and turns, and overall fairly dull. Lots of short chapters may make it easy to turn the pages, but does not necessarily make for a good book. This series is right down there with the other fantasy series for young adults Witch and Wizard - and may even be worse.

The plot was pretty bad, unusual for a James Patterson book

I didn't really follow this one much as it was a race against time for the end of the readathon! This book also took me 1.5hr, as did the prior one, and I was so pleased that the end of the readathon was productive.

I stopped reading it. The characters were two-dimensional. The author was trying to hard to be a teenager. It wasn't good.
