White Fear.

by Tom Palmer

The Squad have been summoned to the deadly and frozen land of the Arctic Circle by the British Prime Minister who has heard of their growing reputation as brilliant young spies. An unknown criminal is trying to hijack a world conference about the precious and much fought-over fuels that lie below the arctic ice. To prevent an international war breaking out, Lily, Lesh, Hatty, Adnan and Kester go undercover to find out who it is and stop them. But the beauty of the icy mountains and deep fjords hide some dangerous secrets and someone will do anything to make sure that the Squad don't discover them...

This book is an adventure book. I liked this book as it had a bit of football and adventure in it. It is an exciting book and you never know what is going to happen. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes football and adventure.

White Fear is a superb sequel to Black Op and is my personal favourite Tom Palmer book, (of those I have read so far), continuing the spy/football hybrid perfectly. It further explores the espionage world of deceit, right and wrong, loyalty and treason but in a very accessible and powerful way! The novel keeps you gripped to the edge of your seat and delivers many powerful plot punches. Yet, amidst this, there are also very raw and poignant moments of conflict for the child spies, who have become bereft of their biological parents and as a reader you cannot help but try to empathise. I loved the ecological conspiracy at the core of the plot and the way that we are forced to consider huge environmental concerns on the world stage. Again, perfect or younger to older audiences - I will definitely share with my boys when they are old enough!

Haven't read the others, but I've read Foul Play and that was good. This one was good as well,
although I had to admit I kinda guessed the suspect a bit too quickly, thanks to experience of reading other detective stories. ...I also thought it a bit sad that Katiyana died, especially as her family probably didn't find out till like the last chapter. Wonder if the Squad did find out more about her and her family? Anyway, the book's good for those kids who are just old enough to handle a bit of violence and blood. Not that there hardly is any, except a little later. Enjoy reading, guys!
