Then it all falls apart.

Holidaying with friends Dax finds himself helpless as he is chased through the woods by a fox hunt and is trapped in a hole wiating to die. Owen digs him out just in time and he is safe. But his mind is playing tricks on his and he keeps having panic attacks.

But when Gideons long lost sister Cathrine  shows up aswell it's all getting a bit to much.

Suddenly everyone else is drowsy all the time and Dax is getting worried. No one will believe him and he thinks the goverment is testing them.

But the truth is all the more sinister is happening and to uncover the truth Dax will have to use all his natural instinct ot keep them alive.

Filled with suspision and panic Dax must take to the wing and find the truth or everyone will die.

Something is incoming, and the fate of the cola's rest in Dax Jones's paws.


A huge improvement on the first. Not too complicated but enough to keep you interested. Easy to read and so far this series is looking good. I would definately recommend for young teeneagers especially but a defineately good read for anyone.

Hope you found this review helpful,
