Gr 7 Up-In this sequel to Traitor (2005) and Payback (2006, both Putnam), teenagers all over the world are strapping on explosives and blowing up important sites. Special Ops in England knows that someone named Black Star is behind the suicide bombings, and the only way to catch him is with a seemingly disaffected youth who wants to join his Angels of Death. Enter Elena and Danny, two initially reluctant teen Ops who are vital to the covert plan. When they travel from London to New York City, the stakes are even higher because suddenly the teens are on their own in a strange city. What a ride! The "spy ops" employed are fascinating, including the complex system of leaving "dead letter box" messages and the complex method of exchanging items, called brush exchanges. Most importantly, the excitement of the story will keep even the most reluctant readers going until the end. However, it helps to be familiar with the previous books as character motivations are not always clear without the backstory.-Lynn Evarts, Sauk Prairie High School, Prairie du Sac, WI Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
