When we last saw Sam he was mano-a-mano with Solaris. Both Solaris
and the Enterprise, you will remember, are battling the Agency for
world domination - or worse. In Chapter one, Solaris turns out to be
an Enterprise Agent in disguise, leaving Sam to continue his search
for the Last Thirteen dreamers. In a parallel story arc, Alex has
been captured and is being groomed to work for the Enterprise. The
Star of Egypt, prompts Xavier to fly Sam to Egypt for more answers
before Sam's dreams find him socializing with an Italian pop star in
Rome - No 12. Together Gabriella and Sam escape Solaris only to end
Book 2 on another cliffhanger.
12 - The Last Thirteen is a fast read for tweens, teens, boys
and reluctant readers who will always choose action and dialogue to
escape the realities and restrictions of adolescence.
