Stunning, awesome, fantastic, hot and adorable are some words I would use to describe this book, I have Never read a book as good before. (Okay I'm 14 but I have read quite a lot)
The story is different to anything I have read before, Alex Rider comes close, but Alex Rider is a little like James Bond. Jason Steed is like, well like real life. He cries, Aweeeeee. He's so cute and sweet.
The story starts off in Hong Kong where he is born, his dad is in the Navy and is based there is mom is from Scotland and she was an Olympic Athlete. She sadly dies giving birth to Jason. Denied the love of a parent blamed by his father for his own mothers death Jason grows up with no love. He puts his mind into martial arts and by age 10 is the Hong Kong under 16 champion.
Jason screws up a few times, lol and gets spanked, his dad and him move to the UK. Jason meets Scott turner, he is really funny, a bit of a nerd but they become good friends, a small romance starts with Jason and Princess Catherine.
Jason is away at summer camp with Sea Cadets when all goes wrong, some cadets get killed, Jason is caught in the middle, using his skills, he has to rescue some Marines and stop a missile from going off. He almost dies, this part is very sad (Yes I cried). Jason gives up and can't go on. His father gets on the radio and shouts at him to keep going. Jason grits his teeth and pushes himself through all the pain to keep going (I'm still crying at this point). Anyway all is well until he gets back to the UK and MI6 now want Jason to work for them.
Overall. The best book I have read.

The author takes you to a place of pupp dog love, and hard action, Jason is tough and has to push himself further than any boy should. I loved it, it's easy to see why Prince William says it's his favorite book.
