This adventure book is definitely a young adult book for those in grade 6 and above. The main character, Danny Watts, is a 17-year-old who tries to enlist in the Army. He is rejected and told it is because of his grandfather. It is explained to him that his grandfather was a traitor and because of that Danny cannot be trusted.
Danny, furious, vows to find his grandfather and make him suffer for Danny's rejection. What follows is Danny trying to find his grandfather while being followed by those in the Army who counted on that and want to find his grandfather also.
Andy makes friends with Elena, a computer genius, who helps him with the technology he needs throughout the series of four books. The sequels, Payback, Avenger and Meltdown are all equally fascinating and hard to put down.
Andy McNab spent his career in British Special Ops and the book is full of authentic details about the military and interesting spy information. I found the books hard to put down and could hardly wait to get the sequels.
These books are a must read for those who enjoyed Alex Rider when they were younger.
