I was blown away by this book. Simple, everyday living by a local parapalegic, living in my own neighborhood. It is told with honesty, dignity and self deprecating humor.
Alex, I wanted you to walk away and live a
normal life. But MI6 made it impossible for you to say no - again. This
time it all started with the extraordinary Elgin Marbles, which are
housed in the British Museum. The British Government have consistently
refused to give them back to the Greeks. But Scorpia has a plan to
force the British Government's hand and, of course, it involved you,
Alex. Getting you undercover again, this time in Egypt. And Alan Blunt
fell for the whole scheme.
This time everyone on your team was
working in the dark. The plot was as clever as ever, with some great new
characters, the reemergence of an old enemy, an extraordinary reveal
with one character (you really can't see it coming!), and the tragic
loss of another.
I won't give it away, but ah, this adventure is
just as adrenaline-soaked, just as fast-paced as your previous
escapades, but darker, edgier, sadder. It is a book you'll read in one
sitting, a wonderful ending to a great series, but Alex, I shall miss
you. --Angela M.
