Book Review: Cherub The Fall

Cherub: The Fall is about when James Adams (the main character) comes back from a disastrous mission in Russia where 2 American agents unexpectedly kill someone. James is nearly killed before he can escape and barely makes it out of the country alive. Back at the Cherub campus the investigation into the mission is moving very slowly and James suspects the investigator isn't telling him everything.

The Cherub series is composed of eleven books all following the life and missions of James Adams his friend and sister. Cherub is a facility in England for training children as agents for investigative purposes. They often work in cooperation with FBI and other existing police force and investigation corporations. It isn't particularly fast paced for an action but I see that as a positive aspect to the series meaning that it is very believable and not just packed with ridiculous levels of impossible stunts like many action books. It spends more time focusing on how the system of law and police force operates and how to gain enough evidence to convict people for crimes.

I found it a thoroughly enjoyable series and it is very worthwhile reading.

Highly recommended.
