Mi favorito hasta el momento. Acción trepidante desde el principio, con ambientación en lugares interesantes y muy diferentes entre sí: Wimbledon, Cuba, Miami y Rusia. Con un montón de deportes y situaciones de riesgo que hace que no quieras dejarlo de lado.
El peligro en esta entrega me pareció mucho más real y que estaba en juego algo más grande que en los anteriores, al fin y al cabo estamos hablando de bombas nucleares. Hasta el villano y su relación con Alex me gustó mucho, no es la típica.
Lo que más me chirrió fue que todos los villanos (y en esta entrega aparecen bastantes) sean todos de nacionalidades "extranjeras": México, Rusia, China... Alguna vez los malos tendrán que provenir de dentro digo yo.
Muy disfrutable.

I liked this book alot, but not so much as the two before it. Still, it was a good book and I look forward to the next one.

One of my favourites in the series but I wonder if I would enjoy this anywhere near as much if I was reading this for the first time now.

I've said this before but this series is completely addictive! Also, I think just love books set in holiday locations???

These books shouldn't be this addictive but they are! I've read three in three days and now as much as I want to continue I think I need to take a break.

I really enjoyed how much darker this book got, and how much more Alex had to see.
It was off to a great start, a truly terrifying psychopath, a fascinating setting, etc. The mysteries were connected really well, and the gadgets and obstacles were very creative.

In the last quarter of the book though, it felt like Alex kept getting lucky being in the right place at the right time than furthering the plot himself like he did in the first books.
