Review
"*"Matt Freeman's adventures eclipse even those of the formidable Alex Rider." The Scotsman"

Product Description
After his experiences at Raven's Gate, fourteen-year-old Matt Freeman thinks his days of battling evil are over. But soon he is pulled into another horrifying adventure when he discovers a second gate exists. Matt and his friend Richard travel to Peru and, assisted by a secret organization known as the Nexus, follow a series of clues to the gate's whereabouts. But there is a traitor in the Nexus...Richard is kidnapped. Matt manages to escape with the help of Pablo, a local boy. The pair travel to the Nazca desert and Matt realizes the horrifying truth - the Nazca lines are the second gate and it is about to open. But this time, will he have the strength to prevent it?

5.0 out of 5 stars Eeeeh its actually rather good!, 18 April 2006
I reccommend you read the first in the series first, as you do... But THIS book, its really good, I read it non-stop the whole way through, much to the dismay of my mother ("You shouldn't be reading that so fast!") and the cat ("OI YOU! STROKE ME, GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THAT BOOK!") I think you buy it and read it and love it, NOW! Go on, you know you want to.

4.0 out of 5 stars Back and better!, 6 May 2006
Raven's Gate makes its much anticipated return in this next thrilling installment Evil Star, 2nd in the 'Power of 5' series.

As always Horrorwitz writes a cracker novel that kept me reading to the final full stop. This book was thrilling, action packed and clever till the very end.

Matt is back but life with Richard isn't as appealing as he thought. Life at school and home is a misery and it isn't too long before he decides to rejoin LEAF. But before he can even mention it an explosive turn of events lands Matt in Peru where he finds himself in a fantastic and chilling set of events. Barely in the country he he separated from Richard and is on the run from the police, it isn't long before he runs into a young boy called Pedro. Reluctantly Pedro stays with him helping Matt trhough his desperate search to find Richard.

HOwever Peru isn't as innocent as it seems. Evil forces are at work and with more twists and turns you can shake a stick at, Horrorwitz pulls Matt and Pedro together through more than they bargined.

This book is absolutely brilliant. The change of scenery is a fresh breath of air from England and the flavour of Preu gives the book an exotic and exciting touch. As always the style is gripping and easy on the eyes. Matt continues to struggle with his powers and in an explosive ending you are left gasping for the next book.

Horrorwitz described this series as 'bringing magic into real life without dragons and wizards' and he has certainly done it. This series is so different from anything I've read and I love it. I recommend it to anyone who has read the first book and anyone who enjoys a good mystery thriller.

A big thumbs up to Evil Star, may the next installment come soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars Evil Star, 30 May 2006
By Matty - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Evil Star is every bit as good as Horowitz's last couple of books Scorpia and Ark Angel. The pace never lets up right from the start. I'm not sure how much longer Mr Horowitz can keep coming up with such exciting action sequences, but they sure are making it hard to put these books down once you've picked them up. The adventure this time shifts from London to Peru. Maybe the next one will take us somewhere else equally as exotic, I certainly hope so. If you enjoy this as much as I did then it's worth checking out Dante's Last March by Mark Elliott as well, in order to fill the gap in your life until the next installment from Horowitz.
