This book was different because if you haven't read the past books (like me) you can learn who the characters are and learn what is happening soon. The book is set up like this: It starts with Conner (the main character) is on yacht in the middle of the sea and they are getting attacked by pirates. I don't want to spoil it to anyone who has read it. (Still even though there is the first chapter up above and it shows a lot more then I said) But the whole book is a story of trust, betrayal, adventure, getting attacked by pirates and (of course) a ransom for 100 something (not going to say it. If you have the book, then you should know the amount unless if you have not read to the point yet.) I think I would rate it 4-5 stars.
Bodyguard: Ransom (Book 4)
By Chris Bradford
Book 4 of 8 in the
BODYGUARD Series
A new action-packed adventure series for young fans of Alex Rider and Jason Bourne--with the first four books publishing simultaneously. Binge read for summer!
Picking up where the electrifying third Bodyguard installment, Hijack, left off, young bodyguard Connor Reeves and the the twin daughters of an Australian media-mogul he is tasked to protect are under attack--and the odds are far from even. In the middle of the ocean somewhere off the coast of Somalia, a group of merciless pirates, wielding enormous firepower, hijack the twins' yacht and incapacitate the ship's adult crewmembers.
Yet the pirates are out for money rather than blood, and seeing a golden opportunity, they demand a multi-million-dollar ransom in exchange for returning the twins to safety. But there's a flaw in their plan. They didn't count on Connor being aboard.
Combining pulse-pounding action, diabolical enemies, and an insider's knowledge of the tricks of the trade, the BODYGUARD series is the perfect target for fans of Alex Rider, James Bond, 24, and Jason Bourne.
Praise for BODYGUARD
“Breathtaking action . . . as real as it gets.”—Eoin Colfer, author of the bestselling Artemis Fowl series
"The training sequences are detailed and realistic, and Connor is relatable and likable. Featuring intense action sequences and strong friendships, this series starter will appeal to reluctant readers and fans of the 'Alex Rider' books."—School Library Journal on Recruit
