Bunker 10

There's an increasing trend in children's fiction at the moment to find the next big thing. Dragons - Done. Boy Spies - Done. Horror - Done. Bunker 10 plays both the spy thriller and creeping doom genre, mixing them into a tale that feels fresh and smacks of more than a little originality. A group of genius teenagers plan a Christmas breakout from the government facility where they work. All well and good, but less than halfway in you're hit with a massive plot twist which turns everything on its head. It's an impressive feat, and despite a general overuse of technical jargon there's something hugely attractive about this fast-paced modern teenage novel. I await his next book eagerly.

Rather confusing story set in the not too distant future where the reader does not know whether the characters are real or part of an elaborate computer Simulation. There are 7 children at a top secret military installation who are incredibly intelligent, it is Christmas Eve and suddenly one disappears, one invents a time travel formula, one gets possessed by a computer virus (or is it mutant DNA?), one just wants to go on a date and the three others must decide what is really happening. The whole book takes place on Christmas Eve and is a "24" hour take on the events that lead to Bunker 10 being blown to smithereens.

Bunker 10 is a twist between three different views on what h happened at bunker 10 on Christmas day in 2001. Bunker ten is a top secret military bunker underneath Woodland base. A group of seven highly intelligent teens are planning to leave the base to spend Christmas day with their families, but their leave is canceled when two of the kids named rose and Durnwich are working with the government to solve a huge problem.
I really liked this book, at the middle of the book there is a huge twist in the story. lots of action and drama, and a little of romance. But all together this was a really good book and i recemand teens read this book.

Seven teens at a military academy are involved in a desperate plan to stop a myserious virus that infects one of them. The virus makes others do exactly what the infected person says. As special forces from outside enter to try to stem the spread, the teens are left to wonder if they're actually part of a computer simulation and if time travel is really possible. Read like a movie.

Seven teenagers, all of them geniuses, live at the Pinewood Military Installation: the most secretive, state-of-the-art military base hidden in the middle of the woods, along with military personnel and some scientists. We don't know what they're doing there; in fact, they're not so sure they know, either. What we know is that on December 24th, the whole place will explode, and there will be no survivors. Or will there be?

What was the cause of the explosion?

Was it related to fifteen-year-old Jimmy's plan to sneak out of the base, by placing transmitters and fooling the guards with his newly created virtual simulations?

Did it have anything to do with the special convoy that arrived on the base show more mysteriously?

Did the highly classified Project Flower, taking place on the lowest level, go awry?

Did it have anything to do with the disappearance of teen May Rose?

You'll have to read this wildly futuristic thriller to find out.

The plot was clever. The pace was fast. The characters were well drawn. The writing was good.

Interesting story with twists at times. The mystery and horror [were most compelling]. AHS/LM
