review 1: I've just finished reading the book Shantorian, the second book of the Tracker's series, by Patrick Carmen. This book is the continuation of the first Trackers book about Adam Henderson, the leader of the Trackers team. Adam is convicted of stealing billions of dollars from banks and now he has to explain himself in an interview with an agent. A man and a girl tricked Adam into opening banks with his programming skills(and the raymond disk) because he thought he was going to help catch a national criminal programmer. Although Adam was tricked and completely believed the two people, his team had their suspicions. The Trackers went behind Adam's back to save him from Shantorian(the person they thought they were trying to help catch). They realized that all the evidence poin... morets to them stealing all the money but the Trackers had planned something and that saved them from all being arrested. Turns out, Shantorian was the girl who tricked them all along. I picked up this book because it was the second book of the Trackers series. I've read the first book and I really liked it so I decided to continue the adventure and read the second book.I finished the book because I wanted to know how the story ends. The book got really exciting at the mid point and I couldn't stop reading because I didn't believe that Shantorian wasn't real. This made me finish the whole book in one day. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys suspense and a good adventure, because this book has both and that is what made this book so good.
review 2: I didn't like this one as much as the first Trackers book. Maybe I've gotten tired of the interrogation format, or maybe the character of Adam seemed to dominate this book too much (we heard very little about the other 3 trackers). The ending (Adam's email to Agent Ganz) was downright preachy and did not sound true to the character to me. Would a true tech geek really 'confess' that his generation was too plugged in and that he secretly wished all technology would crash? It just felt like an adult trying to get a message across by using a character.... less
