Next Book to be Reviewed: "Thomas Riley" by Nick Valentino

Valentino, Nick. Thomas Riley.  Laurel, MD: Quake. 2010. $13.99.

What you need to know before reading this book:
This book is clearly marketed for young adults and is marked ages 13 and up.  Although there is some violence and characters die, the violence and language is kept at a level appropriate for middle school.



From the back cover:

For more than twenty years West Canvia and Lemuria have battled one another in a constant war.
From the safety of his laboratory, weapons designer Thomas Riley has cleverly and proudly empowered the West Canvian forces with his brilliant designs. But when a risky alchemy experiment goes horribly wrong, Thomas and his wily assistant, Cynthia Bassett, are thrust onto the front lines of battle.
Forced into shaky alliances with murderous sky pirates in a deadly race to kidnap the only man who can undo the damage--the mad genius behind Lemuria's cunning armaments--Thomas' own genius is put to the ultimate test.
