Customer Reviews

decent entry

While I used to love the Race Against Time series, I think this one was just about the only one I didn't love, although I still liked it a lot. It was a pretty good entry in the series as Stephen and Uncle Richard battled the bad guys in Scotland. The Kronom KD2 watches were cool, as always. I think you might like it.

My favorite in the "Race Against Time" series!

THE PLACE: Scotland, where an ancient castle houses up-to-date horror - and a lethal loch harbours a monstrous menace from the Nazi past.THE RACE: Young scientist Annie Mackenzie fights alongside Stephen Lane and his Uncle Richard Duffy against the forces Jonathan Fell - the "death merchant" who's crazy as a fox, deadly as a rattlesnake, and inhuman in his ambition to rule the world... or destroy it.Even though I'm 14 years old, I still enjoy reading the "Race Against Time" series, though the books are mostly for reader 9 to 12. Plenty of humor, action, adventure, and Uncle Richard ALWAYS gets the girl. Especially in this book, "Escape from Raven Castle". I love the end where he has to leave Annie! I love the whole idea of the "Race Against Time" series, how Stephen and Uncle Richard always go on an adventure while Stephen's parents are gone, save the world during the weekend, and be able to get back home before his parents get home. I also love the Kronom K-D2 watches! They're so cool, almost better than any of 007's gadgets. Sadly though, in "Escape from Raven Castle", the watch wasn't used very much.These books are limited availability but if you ever get have a chance to borrow these books at the library or buy them, I'm sure you won't regret reading the "Race Against Time" books!
