Product Description

Jimmy Coates embarks on his fourth adventure in his ongoing mission to out-think / out-manouevre and outwit NJ7. If you think it's over, think again! "Jimmy closed his eyes, searching for that power inside him. He had to forget that he was terrified -- that was only the human part of him, the 38 per cent that was a normal, frightened boy. He willed the assassin to take him over. He knew that somewhere within him was enough strength, resilience and expert knowledge to survive this crisis." The cold and calculating Miss Bennett has had enough of Jimmy Coates. NJ7's greatest invention has turned into it's greatest enemy, and it's time someone put an end to him. But Jimmy's next mission is to foil a secret plan -- and who could be better at this than someone who officially doesn't exist!

Review
Praise for Jimmy Coates: Revenge "Boys love this stuff, and so do girls. Jimmy is a pint-sized verision of Robocop or Terminator! Like Anthony Horowitz's splendid fantasies, [these novels] tap into almost everything a bolshy boy wants and feels. Immensely clever, immediately engaging, they will prepare a child for Orwell and Huxley." Amanda Craig, The Times "Fast-paced and intelligently written." The Bookseller "the sort of book to wow reluctant boy readers away from computer games and into the pages of a book." Books for Keeps "Joe Craig has produced another thrilling page-turner." Jewish Chronicle "A rollicking good spy romp." School House magazine. And for Jimmy Coates: Target "With cinematic skill, Craig unrolls a series of action-packed scenes, with a new crisis at every turn of the page. It's gripping, but not mindless" Angela Kilverstein Praise for Jimmy Coates: Killer "!a totally excellent adventure -- a lit bit Bond, a lit bit Matrix and a lot of what you've never read before. Someone make this into a movie!" Flipside "A gripping action-thriller that's packed with twists." Funday Times "[Joe Craig] has developed the sharp satirical edge that keeps the new generation of boys hooked on books. Which is, in itself, the act of a superhero." Amanda Craig, The Times "The perfect primer to the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum." VOYA "!By turns excitingly action-packed, believably sensible and character driven, and then refreshingly paranoid, this is a book I'd be happy to recommend to the kid in everyone." Vector

Customer Reviews

My favorite Jimmy Coates adventure.
This is my favorite Joe Craig Jimmy Coates book. I did not really like killer too much, maybe as I was comparing ot to Alex Rider. This is a must read.

Fast and fun
This came in 9 days, a little slow, but the book is fast and fun, Its a great Young Adult book.
Probably one of the best Jimmy Coates books. It is better than Cody Banks, not quite as good as Jason Steed or Alex Rider, but still a good adventure romp.

Another great book!
Those who have read the first two and enjoyed them wont be disappointed by this new installment. It has a lot of pace and great plot. I really enjoyed how the characters developed and of course absolutely loved all the action. I found myself screaming at the book towards the end, desperate to find out what happened. It's very well written and I just can't wait for the fourth!
