Just another Daniel X book. If you liked the first two, you'll like this one. ( )

I do believe that Patterson is the worst best-selling-author I have ever read. Not all of that is attributable to his "co-authors" because it applies to different works and series.
Trite, condescending, inconsistent, phony chatty persona for narrators in more than one series -- I would never give this to a young person to read because it would corrupt their appreciation of good writing.
(PS the Graphic novel is better because the style fits the substance better) ( )

Daniel is a 15 year old alien from alpar nok and he fights crime. But not the crime were used to. He fights space crime by hunting down bad aliens using a top ten list. This list is digital and tells him who he should target next. This time he is going after a fire alien named phosiphorus beta. But they just call him beta. It will be a difficult task but Daniel and his friends will just have to play with fire.
While him and his friends are camping they hitch a rid from an old lady who turns out to be #19 on the list who almost kills them with her tentacles but Daniel goes through a loophole in time and ends up in the medieval ages. There he meets a wizard named Merlin. Then he turns into a sword which is Excalibur and lets Arthur his apprentice take it and slay a dragon. Then Daniel goes back and slays his dragon (beta). ( )

Best in the series.
Nice twist on a legend. ( )

I didn't think it has as much punch as the first. It didn't leave me really wanting to read more of the series. ( )
