The anything-to-survive existence of Ellie and her friends has sharpened their senses and emboldened their plans. They aren't merely on the defensive anymore; they're also striking back. Their strategy? Attack the enemy not just on land, but also on water. If they have any hope of sabotaging the formidable container ship at Cobbler's Bay, then stealth is a must, but so, too, is one very big explosion.

And if they fail, they may face a whole new kind of terror - imprisonment.

Probably the most chilling book of the series so far. I literally had tears come to my eyes when the kids got in contact with New Zealand. And then the end... but I won't spoil it for the rest of you.

I wasn't quite as satisfied with the closing of the Major Harvey incident as I had hoped to be, but then I always prefer bad guys to recognize the error of their ways... yeah, I'm ridiculously naive that way.

Glad Kevin's back. I hope we'll hear more about Corrie soon too.
