All the action you could want here as a pair of teen twins take on a ruthless Russian criminal to rescue their dad from a fine mess he’s got himself into regarding a plot to hijack pretty well all the East’s oil supplies. Worthy really, since they didn’t know of Dad’s existence until the day of their mother’s funeral!

It’s a chunky but speedy read with all the testosterone, adrenaline and humour you could wish for, plus a high quotient of hi-tec gismos, double crosses and dead bodies. You’d imagine most action-orientated teenagers would love it.
