I have decided. I shall change my disgusting blog skin. But I like it for its design. Ahhh!!! I wanna change it cause the words on the blog entries are too small. Ahhh!!! Who cares? It's for reading pleasure. WOW! Wonder my literature blog has had ow many visitors already? Anyway, back on to the serious matters.
"Edward Red: A Spy High Novel" by A.J. Butcher. This novel speaks about a graduate from Deveraux College. Deveraux College is only an outside name, it is actually called Spy High. Well, go read the first series of "Spy High" if you wanna know more. But let me warn you, the first series "Spy High" which consists of six books, "The Frankenstein Factory", "The Chaos Connection", "the Serpent Scenario", "The Paranoia Plot", "The Soul Stealer" and "The Annihilation Agenda". Well, the second series is more interesting, I can tell ya. The first series is long-winded just like "The Ratastrophe Catastrophe". Well, this second series kept me in suspense and it is the best book I read in the holidays. Haha! I'm definitely not gonna say the best book...... Heehee! Anyway, the other books to this series are "Angel Blue" which I'm gonna write about in the next entry, "Benjamin White", "Calista Green", "Jake Black" and last but not least "Agent Orange". Well, these are code names, of course. "Edward Red" is actually called Eddie Nelligan in real life. "Angel Blue" is Lori Angel. Well, the rest, I forgot. Heehee! One thing for sure, "Agent Orange" is actually called Bex, but her full name? Sorry, I don't know. Anyway, this is the third entry, excluding the welcoming note, and I think that is pretty many, considering that I started at around 4p.m. Anyway, I'm thinking of many things and by the way, I did not really go out this school holidays, so my entries won't be so "outside". Sorry lah...... Was more kept in playing my computer games...... Haha!
Eddie Nelligan had to stop the Jacks who were making trouble for this particular country. Eddie went there to see a talk held by the political person Barthomelew Knight. Unfortunately, he was ill and his daughter Boudica Knight took over. Well, after her speech, the Jacks started assaulting her and Eddie rushed to her rescue. Well, she brought him to see her father who was supposed to have a dealing with the Pendragon Project. This Pendragon Project was a very dangerous project and the scientists working on it were kept underground until the end of the project, even if they died in the meantime. This project had started since the World War II and was still in progress in 2066, which was the year set in the story. Anyway, Mr. Knight found out that Eddie was a spy and threw him in the dungeon. There, Eddie found a girl who was involved in the Pendragon Project there. Her father was the head scientist of the project and she had also been underground for her whole life. Her name is Rose Warwick. Anyway, later Eddie got Rose and himself out of there. Eddie then went back to Spy High and the people used this Mind-thingy to find out where is the location of the Pendragon Project. Then, Eddie and Rose went there. Rose found her father and later, Mr. Knight captured them and used the Pendragon virus, which supposedly had no virus, on one of his people. This virus clogs up the respiratory system and then the person explodes. Imagine that disgusting blood splattering scene. Obviously, Eddie escaped, but Mr. Knight made off with the virus. A few weeks later? There was a conference held and suddenly, this group of men grabbed Rose. They were Mr. Knight and gang in disguise. They wanted to pollute the oxygen supply in the conference room. They were able to do so but surprisingly, the people in the conference room did not die. The played dead till Mr. Knight walked into the room. Well, it's game over for Mr. Knight. He did not know that there was a vaccine for the Pendragon virus and this vaccine can be found in Rose's blood. Her father had done so but kept it from anyone but later told Eddie when he was about to die. Later Mr. Knight was killed under the rubble of a collapsed building but Eddie decided to save his daughter, Boudica, although she tortured him last time. This was beacuse there was a stage where he liked her. In the end, Eddie had a girlfriend, Rose. In between the story, Bex (Agent Orange) had predicted that Eddie would make Rose his girlfriend and the most amusing thing is that, when Eddie brought rose out in the open, she screamed like crazy as she had never seen the open before. She was afraid of the sky as it was boundless unlike the underground where walls always came to an end.
Anyway, this is about it, the summary of the story. So much for Edward Red. So cool, spy missions are. Haha! How I wish I can be like one of them! Imagine those shock blasters, shock suits, sleepshot, these gadgets that they use. Fantasy...... One can't do without it, or rather I can't do without it. For this book, I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Or maybe 4 and a hlaf out of 5 stars?
