The thrilling sequel to Moving Target! When a young girl can determine the destiny of the world, the wrong choice could lead to disaster . . .
Cassie Arroyo has found the long-lost Spear of Destiny -- only to have it stolen right out from under her!
In Return Fire, Cassie and Asher must regain the spear. This time, however, it's not enough just to find it: Cassie realizes that when she used the spear, she sent the world down a path that could eventually lead to serious trouble. Can she find a way to stop the terrible chain of events that she set into motion?
As she tries to reshape her own destiny, Cassie takes off on a breathless adventure across Italy, leading her to a forest outside Rome, a Caravaggio painting full of clues, and a villa by the sea. There, in the ultimate showdown, Cassie has to decide who she can truly trust. And when the chance to use the spear presents itself again, she has to figure out if she can even trust herself.
Kids will be clamoring for this sequel after finishing Moving Target, and this has even more thrills, riddles, and page-turning excitement!

Der zweite Band der "Moving Target" Reihe schließt direkt an den ersten an und man ist sofort mitten im Geschehen. Auf den ersten Seiten habe ich noch ein bisschen gebraucht mich in die Geschichte reinzufinden und mich an die Geschehnisse aus dem ersten Band zu erinnern, aber das hat nicht allzu lange gedauert.
Auch der zweite Teil ist eine gelungene Mischung aus Spannung, Abenteuer und Mythologie. An mancher Stelle kam mir Handlung zwar etwas gestreckt vor, aber insgesamt war das Buch für mich jedoch sehr unterhaltsam.
Der Schreibstil ist flüssig und passend für die Zielgruppe. Für Jugendliche ist das Buch mit Sicherheit eine gelungene Unterhaltung.
