About the author
Adam Blade
826 books216 followersAdam Blade is the house name for the Working Partners Ltd. ghostwriters who write the Beast Quest and Sea Quest series.
Adam Blade is in his late twenties, and was born in Kent, England. His parents were both history teachers and amateur artists, and Adam grew up surrounded by his father’s paintings of historic English battles – which left a lifelong mark on his imagination. He was also fascinated by the ancient sword and shield that hung in his father’s office. Adam’s father said they were a Blade family heirloom.
As a boy, Adam would spend days imagining who could have first owned the sword and shield. Eventually, he created a character – Tom, the bravest boy warrior of them all. The idea for Beast Quest was born.
When Adam grew up and decided that he wanted to be a writer, he was stuck for ideas – until he remembered the old sword and shield, and the imaginary boy he had created when he was young. Adam decided to bring Tom fully to life so that readers could go on the kind of adventures that he always wanted to when he was that age… And still does, even though he’s grown up!
When he’s not writing Beast Quest books, Adam enjoys visiting museums and ancient battle sites. His main hobbies are fencing and football. He also spends a lot of time at home running around after his two exotic pets – a tarantula named Ziggy, and a capuchin monkey named Omar. These little rascals were the inspiration for two of the Beasts that Tom faces on his Quest – Arachnid and Claw.
Sadly, Adam does not have his own Fire-Dragon or Horse-Man. But he really wishes he did!

My son brought this one home from the school library, so we skipped ahead a few books in the series when we read it. We'd previously read the first three books.
As with the rest of the series, this book is centered around a robotic monster, sent to wreak havoc by the mysterious Professor.
Max and Lia, along with their new ally Roger the might-be pirate, need to stop an attack by robotic mining machines that could end up destroying two different underwater cities.
I liked that Max makes some mistakes in this story, and that he's in need of help to get out of the climactic bit of peril.
The character of Roger can be a bit annoyingly gimmicky at times. Basically, he acts out every pirate cliche while denying that he's a pirate. He did have a couple of good moments in this story, though. Lia gets a bit lost in the shuffle with a lot of the interactions being between Roger and Max.
I should also mention that this book ends in a total cliffhanger, which is not something I'd seen before in this series.

Seemed more of a gap-filler story, perhaps to help extend this 'quest' to four books. Not as much intrigue as the previous books but still enjoyable.
