About this listen

Otto and Raven are desperate to rescue their friends from the clutches of Anastasia Furan, head of the evil Disciples organisation.

First they must track down the location of the Glasshouse, the prison where Furan trains children to become ruthless assassins. But Otto is also being hunted.

The three months that Otto has spent following his expulsion from H.I.V.E. have given the Artemis Section - an elite division of the American intelligence services that specialises in capturing the toughest targets and reports only to the president - an opportunity to locate him.

This eighth book in the breathtaking H.I.V.E. series continues the high-octane adventures of the supremely talented criminal team, with the central characters forced to question everything that Nero has taught them and to confront the consequences of life as a villain, set against the backdrop of a daring high-tech prison break where nothing is quite as it seems.

The HIVE students are growing up in this book. We've got a bit more blossoming love interest, school exams (HIVE style) and personalities rounding out. The big plus as far as my 10 & 12 year old sons were concerned was finally getting some of Raven's backstory (all assassins have good backstory right?) which turns out just to be as bleak as you'd imagine. There has been much discussion about whether Raven and Marvel's Black Widdow were both students of the Glass House in the back of the car ... The book ends on a proper cliff hanger, so be prepared to have the next book on stand by.

The plus for me was that Franz develops too. In this book he's not just the fat kid who makes everyone laugh. You find out that the boy does actually have skills. Respect due.

Finally! The Raven / Dr Nero backstory!

Relief that Laura was rescued.

Laura getting a message out from the glasshouse.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Will Thorp?

Unlikely.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Penny's reaction to the loss of Tom.

Any additional comments?

I thought it was a real shame the reader was changed. Jack Davenport and Richard Coyle were great, Will Thorp made big changes and the characters didn't feel the same at all.

Great story, shame about the change of reader
