The Seven Signs #5
Crimewave
RoboWorld’s robots are strong, armed and perfectly safe... until now.
Now, they’re deadly weapons, with one thing on their minds...
‘Defend, destroy!’
While Zander lies dying on the ground, the rest of the DARE Seven are left to defend themselves with only small zap guns against a massive swarm of crazed robot animals–monkeys, tigers, growling lions, wolves, gorillas, and more. It sounds like an awesome video game... except that it’s real.
With the increasing intensity of The Signmaker’s sinister scheme, the next sign will lead to something even more dangerous than facing a pack of deadly robots. It will take the DARE winners into the heart of a jungle to face Bogota’s most despicable villain.
If you could be a hero, would you DARE?
Seven Signs. Three days left to save the world.

At this point, what can I say about the series that I haven't already? Action schlock and little else.
Things at least get a bit better towards the end of the novel than the start - we go from robots yelling "defend, destroy!" (sigh...) to Colombian rebels/terrorists/criminals/whatever, so the latter at least has some grounding in reality. On the other hand, the titular "crimewave" doesn't occur until the last few pages, and off-screen at that, and while I won't go into spoilers (does anyone actually care?), while I could buy the idea that Greece would defend into anarchy due to the events of the third book, the entire world descending into anarchy due to criminal connections becoming public? Fine. Sure.
You know what I realized while reading this book? The laser satellites orbiting the world aren't just a literary deus ex machina (they can apparently be as accurate as the plot demands them to be), but raise all sorts of questions in-universe. How did the nations of the world feel about such weapons being installed? How would this affect the balance of power in a world that's relied on MAD for the last 70 or so years? Don't know. No-one even raises it. Laser satellites are just a fact of life, deal with it you scrubs.
Well, onto the next one I guess. :(

The premise is ridiculous, the plot absurd, the writing terrible, in this "non-stop" action fest - that doesn't make it any good by the way, the characters end up all feeling the same, there is no real development, there is oh look another explosion and off we go again.
This is poor writing whether for young people or people of any age, and it feels like a money making exercise rather than a decent story, and I'm sure it is making its money as well.
