Book Giveaway: Dangerous Days of Daniel X by James Patterson

Dangerous Days of Daniel X by James Patterson is about a 15 year old boy who happens to be an alien hunter. After witnessing his parents death at the age 3, Daniel sets out to kill the dangerous aliens on Earth.

This is a fun, quick moving book and reminded me a lot of the Men in Black movies. I love reading sci-fi, thrillers, and mysteries and this book fell in all of three categories. I loved the characters, even the evil aliens. Patterson does a great job with his description of the aliens and other planets. I could picture them all clearly in my minds.

From the book's website:
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.

The book is not as dark as it sounds but it is gruesome at points. I enjoyed this book a lot and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys sci-fi, thrillers, and/or mysteries.

  13. I really enjoy reading books that are
    sci-fi/fantasy genres. Being an Alien Hunter is a big job for a rather young man! I suppose with his many powers, he can handle it. Please enter me in your delightful drawing. Many thanks, Cindi
