BOOK REVIEW: Escape Velocity (Mark Walden) HIVE

Book:  Escape Velocity

Author: Mark Walden

Rating: 7/10

The third book in the series about HIVE, a school of villany where students are encouraged to embrace evil and become the top criminals of the future.
But nowit's in grave danger as the headmaster Dr Nero is kiddnapped by an all new ruthless security force. The most worrying thing is that they new exactly where to find him.

The reason he got captured in the first place was because he was meeting a fellow G.L.O.V.E senior member to discuss a rather worrying discovery: The Renaissance Initiative.

This seems to be a operation aimed at restoring Overlord. an AI who wants to destroy humanity.

With Nero captured and Raven missing presumed dead Number One sneds a replacement headteach. But sending a traitor back to those she betrayed is a risky move and Number One needs one of the students for his plan to succeed.

As Contessa performs a extraction of Otto and his friends Raven returns from the dead and rescues them as they join the long dead father of a fellow student in a mission to save Nero and stop a plan that could destroy the earth.

Breaking into MI6, travelling in a top secret, state-of-the-art submarine.

and trying to stop a physchotic computer with a hatred of humanity taking control of the world's computers, saving Nero from a life of imprisonment.

All part of the chaotic day-to-day life of HIVE.




A great book in a series that is always improving and changing. It answers questions,resolves plots yet introduces new ideas and challenges. Another book in a great series. I recommend buying at least these first 3.

Hope  you found this review Helpful,
