Publisher's Summary:
Jason Lex just saved the world. Now he's immersed in training as a new Rampart Guard to protect the shield that enables humans and cryptids like Skyfish, Bigfoot, and the Black Shuck, to live side-by-side and danger-free. A summons from the League of Governors, the clandestine organization that presides over the human-cryptid treaty, takes a suspicious turn when Jason's dad and sister disappear on their way to League headquarters. Jason must find them before things go bad, so he follows their trail to London, where he discovers the League of Governors may not be the benevolent organization everyone believes.
Injured and alone, Jason doesn't know whom to trust. After a shocking loss sends him reeling, news about his family forces Jason to make a terrible choice. When he learns of a secret plan to enslave the world, Jason must risk his life to defeat a powerful enemy and reunite what's left of his family. But can he stop a dominating adversary, and again save the world, before it's too late?
Members Reviews:
Even better than book one
I had mixed feelings about the age of the hero after book one, and I still do to some extent, but that's resolving to some extent because of how well the books are written and how well Jason is coping with everything that's happening.
Speaking of happenings... there is a lot happening in this book, talk about big and complex, this story does not hold back. It's a trilling, grip the edge of your seat ride from beginning to end.
The characters are complex and the moral lessons within the story are compelling.
The narration is excellent, the character voices are great and the emotions of the characters and the story in general are conveyed.
I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Ho-Hum
Usually, the first book in a series is "okay", and the story/author grows stronger and better. In this case, the first book is the best of the three. I should have stopped after listening to the first one.
Ironically, I was offered credits for the second and third audiobooks and decided to pick up the first. So, it was no skin off my nose, just mediocre time fillers as I worked in my yard.
Jason's actions and thoughts seemed to flip flop; he didn't become a stronger, wiser, or better person. Well, he did, then he regressed, then he took a half step forward then slipped back four. It was very uneven and confusing. And disappointing.
Mr Callanan is a wonderful narrated and wasted his talent and time with this series.
Continuation - fun middle grade, fantasy adventure
This book continues the adventures, or in this case the misadventures of Jason Lex. Jasons father and sister, Della, flew to London to seek counseling help at the League of Governors.
