Howard and Tanya help Boy Nobody collect information about his father, eventually revealing a dangerous secret that teaches Boy Nobody a valuable lesson -- he can't trust anyone.

AMAZED

Great writer and overall performance. Greatly appreciated. Hope for a future addition to the story.

Performance and excellent story

Who ever is voicing this book series is amazing i felt like i was there the whole time i wish the author wrote at least one more just tying it off but i am grateful to listen to a awesome well thought out book series thank you

this is Michael Vey, not Evan Smoak

Perhaps I was misled at the beginning of book 1. I read it as a serious adult black operations tale similar to the Orphan X books. And I was very slow to realize that these books are really YA fiction more on a par with the Michael Vey stories where you know from the outset that this is over-the-top fiction like the Spy Kids movies. Therefore each book's quality dropped in my estimation.

Given that I didn't figure this out until the middle of this book, I found the events and skills increasingly improbable and simplistic. A lot happens in this volume, very quickly and easily. There may be more to follow, but probably not for me.

IF you read this knowing the YA genre, you may enjoy it more than I did.
