This book is not a mystery or thriller like the others posted in this blog in the past, but it does involve some action and adventure which has been included in the description of this blog. This book does have some action and draws the reader in. The majority of the book takes place in the United States, but was written by a British author which is apparent be the spelling of some words and the names used for some of the items. But those words do not distract the reader enough to keep them from enjoying this book.
