Description: The fifth title in the number one bestselling CHERUB series! James and his fellow cherubs infiltrate an Australian cult, in the most exciting CHERUB story yet. CHERUB exists for the simplest of reasons: even a master criminal doesn't suspect that the kid next door is a spy. When CHERUB uncovers a link between eco-terrorist group Help Earth and a wealthy religious cult known as The Survivors, James Adams is sent to Australia on an infiltration mission. It's his toughest job so far. The Survivors' outback headquarters are completely isolated, and the cult's brainwashing techniques mean James is under massive pressure to conform. This time he's not just fighting terrorists. He's got to battle to keep control of his own mind. For official purposes, these children do not exist.

Review: This was the most suspenseful and thrilling of the Cherub books so far. I really like how girls have come to the fore in this series, with the toughest young agents being female. Having said that James, the main protagonist, doesn't have the most respectful attitude towards the girls in his life. They are all onto him though, and I really like how they don't condone or put up with him behaving badly toward them. James's little sister Lauren has really come into her own as a character. I love the way their sibling relationship is portrayed. In this story they infiltrate a cult, and it's a very scary organisation. I've enjoyed all of the books so far, but this was the first where I really felt worried for the children, also anxious that the adults weren't ahead of the game in the way they normally are, but the plot made sense of that, as the cultists were truly terrifying and ruthless. The tension really ramps up in this story, and some great characters are introduced, I hope we meet at least a couple of them again. I love Muchamore's characterisation, he makes you warm to people, or really dislike them, even with not a lot of air time. There's an old lady in a nursing home in this who is wonderful, and I also loved Ernie the driver. I've seen these books criticised as being badly written, especially on goodreads, not as kind as the reviews on here! The one grammar thing that annoys me a lot is a basic error, the use of the possessive apostrophe. It should be James's, not James'. I can't believe this mistake wasn't corrected by an editor. They only need to look at their tube map, St James's Park springs to mind. James is a name, not a plural when the style he uses would apply. This is the only thing that really gets to me though, otherwise I think that the story and characters propel you along to the point where the writing style isn't really an issue.

Review: We love all the cherub books & this is no exception. Exciting and thought-provoking too. Favourite old characters but plenty of new ones as well. Would recommend to anyone who likes cliffhangers & fast-paced action but take the age warnings seriously: I read these to my boys so we can discuss difficult/upsetting issues & I bleep out the rude words!
