review 1: When we last saw Q and Angela, the president's daughter had been kidnapped by the elusive and lethal ghost cell. Q, Angela, and the SOS unit are in hot pursuit down I-95. Along the way they pick up some additional help in ex-SEAL John Masters. The action is non-stop taking place in just over 9 hours, starting in Washington and ending in Kitty Hawk. Q and Angela learn some new things regarding Boone and Croc, end up being kidnapped themselves, and save the day in the end. A fine setup for the next installment. Great series.
review 2: So I've been following this series for maybe four years now, and have really enjoyed it in the past because it was one of a rare breed--a thriller aimed squarely at the middle school crowd. Lots of action, adventure, and even ... morethe occasional explosion. "Kitty Hawk" is the third book in the series (after "Independence Hall" and "The White House") and I was expecting more of the same...which I actually got. However, I also got something unexpected and unwelcome in this third book--now all of a sudden, Boone (the old spy brought out of retirement to help his friend Blaze Munoz with security after her marriage to Roger Tucker and the beginning of their new band's tour) is given magical powers and is able to teleport. BOO! What a genre-buster. Maybe MS kids will be able to forgive this never-before-introduced ability, but not me. It's kind of like having the killer in a murder mystery end up being someone you've never encountered in the story--a total breaking of the rules. No bueno. No more of this series for me, so no use bothering to annotate it. :P less
