About the Author

Axel Avian grew up in an organization not unlike FALCON in a town not unlike Springfield, Missouri.  He has traveled the world for his work.  To relax, he enjoys sky and scuba diving, hang gliding, rock climbing and snowboarding.  He speaks four languages, reads whenever he can and routinely trounces opponents on video games. (Bring it.) He would also like to note that he is humble, easily amused and occasionally very funny.

Editorial Reviews

A series of escalating incidents send a 15-year-old secret-agent-in-training halfway around the world as he gets wrapped up in one death-defying adventure after another. It starts when Colt Shore discovers the truth about his deceased older brother and meets the mother he never knew. He’s subsequently sent to the Middle East on undercover assignment, acting as security for a popular teen band. Inevitably, that mission takes on a life of its own, sending Colt from Afghanistan to Germany to try and thwart a human trafficking operation, with sexy rock star Talya Ellis at his side. The book seems aimed at a younger teenage audience; Avian’s writing style is straightforward, and there’s some handwaving involved with regard to the more implausible elements. Despite the story’s adventure trappings, the author maintains respect for the cultures and locations encountered. There’s no shortage of action sequences, nifty gadgets, exotic locales, and cinematic moments (including some memorable scenes set in the legendary Neuschwan-stein castle), giving this book a wide range of appeal. Ages 12–up. (May)

"Imaginative, exciting! A Hogwarts for secret agents. Domino 29 will knock you over!" - Bestselling author Andrew Gross

"Action sequences, nifty gadgets, exotic locales, and cinematic moments (including some memorable scenes set in the legendary Neuschwanstein castle), give this book a wide range of appeal." - Publishers Weekly

"[Agent Colt Shore Domino 29] maintains a rising level of tension enlivened by humor, pop-culture references (including references to Bond, James Bond), death-defying stunts, just barely non-lethal action, and a spark of teen romance. It’s the fantasy-fulfilling wild ride of a young man who has trained for a career as an intelligence analyst, and who suddenly finds himself a bit over his head in live-action-hero soup. It’s a sometimes educational look at foreign sites we may not have visited before, even in books; full of convincing details and driven by non-stop momentum." - Robin D. Fish, Jr.  - Mugglenet.com Blog

"Great fast-paced page turner. Started it at one and stayed up till four because I couldn't bear having to wait to find out what happens next". - Emily's Bookshelf Blog
