Roaring, constant action zooms along in this first sequel to Jimmy
Coates: Assassin? (2005). It seems that Britain has been taken over
by a dictatorship, and 11-year-old Jimmy is a product of the new
secret service, NJ7. He's more machine than boy, genetically
programmed to kill. Now Jimmy struggles against NJ7 and his
programming, yet finds it useful as he sneaks back into England to
rescue his friend's captured parents, fighting for good against the
evil UK government. Picking up where the first adventure ended,
Craig relies on readers' familiarity with the preceding story to
understand what's going on, although he scatters some small clues
for new readers. No realism here, but action lovers won't care as
their cyborg James Bond conquers the baddies. It's a nifty sci-fi
device for bringing an action novel to middle-schoolers, allowing
Craig to pack suspense onto every page. Zippy and exciting for
fans. (Fiction. YA) (Kirkus Reviews)
Jimmy's back in the electrifying sequel to Jimmy Coates: Killer.
Stand back for this new high-speed adventure, packed with
surprises, danger and escape against the odds. "Jimmy's fingers
were slipping. Smeared with blood, he had hardly any grip. He had
to hold on. Mitchell chopped his hand down hard into Jimmy's
shoulder, cutting off the nerves to his fingers. Staring up into
Mitchell's ice-cold eyes, Jimmy fell into the shredder." Jimmy
Coates is still on the run - and this time NJ7 are pulling no
punches. They're out for blood, and even though Jimmy has gone into
hiding in France, they still track him down. Jimmy might think that
life could hold no further surprises for him - but he's very, very
wrong.
