James Phelan continues to build the suspense in these four novels in
The Last Thirteen series; through his use of fast-paced
action, plots that have unexpected twists, rogue secret agents,
futuristic technology and enthusiastic tech-savvy teenage characters
involved in life and death situations. Each book ends with a
cliffhanger and the next begins with a recap of previous events,
they need to be read sequentially from Book 13 to Book 1.
Sam's thrilling journey continues with his quest to find the chosen
dreamers, to stop the ever-increasing power of a number of enemies
and save the world. The search continues across the globe from Paris
to Brazil and on to Cuba, where Sam has to rely on his dream
memories, his skills, his stealth suit, Academy friends and on the
skills of the dreamer he must find. Clues must be followed, devious
plots foiled, kidnapped friends rescued all with little rest or
sustenance. James Phelan takes the reader on a Bourne Identity style
reading adventure.
