James bond for kids

This series has character for sure.I love the fold out pictures. Very clever and well written.

A good end to a good series!

The final installment in the Guild of Specialists trilogy lives up to the first two, both in terms of the art and the story. But, the story is good and enjoyable, not great literature. It follows the adventures of the two teens through India and the deserts of central China. It's got all sorts of good stuff: ancient warriors, crazy Russian mercenaries, super high tech lost societies, conspiracies, in other words, all the good stuff!! But what makes the series so awesome, is the illustrations, diagrams and "photos" of artifacts. It's all a very well built little fantasy, complete with artifact numbers on all the illustrations. I'm glad he wrapped up the series, but I actually hope there's more to come.
