The Dangerous Days of Daniel X

Overview

The greatest superpower of all isn't to be part spider, part man, or to cast magic spells -- the greatest power is the power to create.


Daniel has that power.


Daniel's secret abilities -- like being able to manipulate objects and animals with his mind or to recreate himself in any shape he chooses -- have helped him survive. But Daniel doesn't have a normal life. He is the protector of the earth, the Alien Hunter, with a mission beyond what anyone could imagine.


From the day that his parents were brutally murdered in front of his very eyes, Daniel has used his unique gifts to hunt down their assassin. Finally, with the help of The List bequeathed to him in his parents' dying breath, he has located the killer.


Now, on his own, he vows to take on his father's mission--and to have vengeance in the process.

  Fun reading and fast - it was over before I knew it (that is a good sign). I can see that there will be more to come in this new series by Patterson.

  While I am a fan of both authors, I was very disappointed by this book. It is certainly not in the class of their past novels. In fact this offering seemed to be aimed more at the teen set.
