Book description
He doesn't need Alex Rider's girly gadgets. He's much more fanciable
than Andy McNab's Boy Soldier. His adventures will take you to places
even Wilbur Smith hadn't thought of.
Soon after escaping an assassin that bursts from the shadows to try
and kill him in the dark windswept grounds of his school in Dartmoor,
Max Gordon discovers that his explorer father has also gone missing.
Max is determined to find him whatever dangers may lay in his path. A
secret clue, that his father has left, leads Max to the inhospitable
wilderness of Namibia and the discovery of a potential massive
ecological disaster masterminded by the very powerful and completely
ruthless businessman, Shaka Chang. Whoever is behind Max's fathers
disappearance is determined to get rid of Max too. For good.
The Devil's Breath is the first incredible book, in a
blockbuster new adventure series for boys and girls of 9+ , with more
plot twists and death defying action scenes than a Bond film. A world
of stampeding buffalo, lethal scorpions, ancient tribes and prophecies
awaits you...
