After reading the first two books in this set (Countdown to Action, Action Alert), I began to notice a pattern. So far, we are being introduced to the Tracy men one by one. This book had more intense moments of rescues that coincided with the ‘warped genius’ and his antics on gathering what he needed for his own plans.
Joan has again mastered the suspense, drama and action-packed adventure to keep the reader wanting more. I was rather upset when the story ended. Even if this book was randomly selected to read, I think it would be enjoyable and one would be able to know the set up behind it, but with any good series I recommend starting at the beginning to have the familiarity to the roots of it.

As the reader continues in this series, I know I for one, became familiar with the Tracy’s and their International Rescue teammates. I enjoyed the banter shared with the brothers as well as the practical jokes they liked to play on each other. It is a very positive portrayal of a family sharing a bond that is not easily broken, especially when surrounded by each other day and night, as well as residing on a secret tropical island away from everyone. I hope Joan plans to write more on this fun series, and now from my reading, I want to watch the show and share it with my small son. ( )
