The price of victory
I really enjoyed this book. I do love the mix of technology, action and teenage adventure.
Since the last book the Rebels have traded up their headquarters, but are in trouble with alot of the basic necessities like electricity. However they may have a new ally who might be able to help, but is he any better than who they are fighting against? There is also someone else with their own agenda, will it benefit Robin and the Rebels or drag them down?
One of the things I really liked about this book is it shows Robin still has a lot to learn, a good reminder he is only 13. In the other books and thanks to the Rebels he has been leveling ip his physical training and combat skills, but there was nobody to help him with his hacking education, till now.
The book does have many twists and turns, what it lacks in the action department it makes up for in story and character development. With the ending of this book I can't wait to see what happens next. As Robin learns here the price of winning might be too high sometimes.

This was an enjoyable addition to the series. I liked that Robin got to learn more computer skills from a new mentor, and that his youth is emphasized more. While his skills are impressive for a thirteen year old, he figures in he doesn't know everything, and has a lot to learn. Looking forward to the next book!

Continuing the modern-day-twist of the Robin Hood saga. Gritty and always compelling, with lots of fun dialogue and crazy antics amongst the backdrop of the grim reality.

While I enjoyed this one, it felt more like a filler episode or side quest compared to the previous few books.
