Product Description

Product Description

Fifteen-year-old alien hunter Daniel X is on a mission to finish the job that killed his parents - to wipe out the world's most bloodthirsty aliens on The List. At the number-one spot, The Prayer is Daniel's ultimate target. With mind-blowing skills like telepathy and the ability to transform and create, Daniel's got more than a few tricks up his sleeve. Along with his friends Willy, Joe-Joe, Emma and Dana, Daniel hunts down the aliens on The List one by one. But as he battles towards his top target he can't forget one thing: he's got a host of aliens to fight, but on their lists there's only one name at the top ...and that's his.

From the Inside Flap

Daniel X works alone.

Having watched from the shadows as the brutal events of the murder of his own parents unfolded before him, he has been forced to make his own way in a dark and unforgiving world with a heavy task handed to him.

Daniel’s father was an alien hunter, working his way through a fearsome ‘wanted’ list of aliens intent on seeking control and wreaking devastation. But as he planned his next target, his own time was running out. Following his parents’ sudden deaths, Daniel faced an uncertain future: he knew little about his family nor where he came from but a few things are clear, he has inherited the list from his father and with it, a unique ability to create anything that he needs including some very devoted friends to help him along the way.

His life has become dedicated to the mission. Every day has been transformed into a terrifying hunt, watching each step he takes for danger awaits around every corner and lurks within the shadows. His ultimate aim is to exact revenge against number one on his list: his parents’ murderer. But first he must target the others: each more sinister and gruesome than the last. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars If you enjoyed the Maximum Ride adventures you'll like this!, 24 July 2008
By Ms. Amanda Casey (Bolton, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Dangerous Days of Daniel X (Hardcover)
It was a very different theme than anything Patterson has wrote about before. I enjoyed it but prefer many of his other titles it still has the same flow, style and content but something was lacking for me. I usually enjoy sci-fi themed books but this one seemed as though he couldn't decide if it was for adults or children. I would still recommend it just don't expect it to be one like one of his best. So overall it's still one for the collection but if your short on money and haven't read some of his other earlier works I'd buy those first.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Bit Disappointed, 13 Aug 2008
By bookworm36 "scotty" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dangerous Days of Daniel X (Hardcover)
I bought this book expecting it to be as page turning as other Patterson books, and I was a bit disappointed, it is worth reading just to see if you are going to like this series, but for me it was a one off, I found Daniel to be lacking in character and the plot lacking in suspense it is of course a book for teenagers so maybe I was expecting too much. I wish the Daniel X series luck, but I will not be buying further books in this series.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointing New Series from James Patterson, 28 Aug 2008
By DB Dom (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dangerous Days of Daniel X (Daniel X Childrens Edition) (Hardcover)
The Dangerous Days of Daniel X is the first of a new childrens series by James Patterson. Having read - and greatly enjoyed - the Maximum Ride series I had high hopes for his latest book. Sadly it was a disappointment, I can't quite say where it lacked, I guess my problem with the book was that it seemed to have no basis in fact, it was complete fantasy.
Daniel X (X because he has no real surname) is an alien with special powers on earth since his childhood destined to destroy all aliens on earth. Already a slightly odd concept, his parents where killed at the age of 3 by an alien known as the Prayer, his ultimate enemy and then skips to him at 15, carrying a list of all aliens which he intends to pursue and destroy. This first book is mainly focused in his pursuit of "Number 6", Ergent Seth.
Essentially my problem with this was it's just too bizarre, in concepts, in plot. It certainly lacks the down to earth view of the Maximum Ride series and is a great failure to my mind. I shall be awaiting the next in the series, but more out of curiosity than excitement!
