I loved Black Horizon - it get's four stars from me! If you want to see my full review, check out The Big Book Project!
“Caroline,
Addison, Ben; welcome to Gemini Force One..."
When Ben Carrington's father dies, his
mother decides to set up a mountain-rescue team, based in her homeland Austria.
But when disaster strikes again, she joins forces with a rich businessman
and together they create the secretive rescue team named the Gemini Force.
All Ben wants to do is be part of the team –
to save people. But being at college, it's a little hard to convince his
mother to let him take part…
He'll just have to prove himself – while
observing the heroic rescues carried out by the Gemini Force, of course.
But he has no idea what is waiting for him
aboard Gemini Force One...
I remember watching old reruns of The Thunderbirds with my Dad and younger
brothers. I remember loving the action and quirky humour, even if the
puppets and special effects were a bit odd for me. I was so excited when
I heard about Gemini Force One – a
modern day Thunderbirds team written
for teens? Yeah, I needed to get my hands on that book as soon as poss.
And I must say, even with all the set-up, this book was truly exciting.
I mean, when you open with someone falling from a plane, a second pilot
throwing herself from a second plane to catch him and a Countess and her son
climbing out on a ledge of one of the highest buildings in the country to
rescue the pilots, you know you're in for an adrenaline-pounding ride.
And I just know that
the rest of the series are going to be a million times more amazing, now that
the Gemini Force has been set up and
established....
