Description
A new action-packed adventure series for young fans of Alex Rider and Jason Bourne—with the first four books publishing simultaneously. Binge read for summer!Following the nail-biting cliff-hanger of Bodyguard 1: Recruit, the action resumes in Hostage as martial arts expert and trained bodyguard Connor Reeves battles to protect the US president’s daughter, Alicia, from mortal danger . . . even if it means putting his own life at risk.
Connor is her last line of defense—an invisible show more shield kept secret from everyone, including the First Daughter herself. Yet danger lurks around every corner, and the terrorist plot to kidnap Alicia is already under way, the net tightening as the enemy prepares to strike.
Combining pulse-pounding action, diabolical enemies, and an insider's knowledge of the tricks of the trade, the BODYGUARD series is the perfect target for fans of Alex Rider, James Bond, 24, and Jason Bourne.
Praise for BODYGUARD
“Breathtaking action . . . as real as it gets.”—Eoin Colfer, author of the bestselling Artemis Fowl series
"The training sequences are detailed and realistic, and Connor is relatable and likable. Featuring intense action sequences and strong friendships, this series starter will appeal to reluctant readers and fans of the 'Alex Rider' books."—School Library Journal on Recruit. Juvenile Literature. Juvenile Fiction. Suspense. show less

I have read some great action series involving teens including the "Alex Rider" series by Anthony Horowitz, the "Cherub" series by Robert Muchamore and the "Special Forces Cadets" series by Chris Ryan and, I must say, "Hostage" was an excellent start of another exciting series.
From the first page I was intrigued and I liked the buddyguard alpha team, especially Conner. While the other teens only player a minor role, Connor was thrown into the action when he became the buddyguard to Alicia, the beloved daughter of the President of the USA. Despite making mistakes, Connor was willing to sacrifice his life for her and the situation they found themselves in was not only full of drama but it was fraught with danger. Connor's character show more development was excellent.
Overall, this novel was engaging and eventful, and perfect for younger teens looking for an adrenaline filled read. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. show less
