Description

Axel Jack and Daisha Tandala are two thirteen-year-old friends running from a billionaire madman who killed their scientist parents and now wants what the kids have—a GeoPort (Geographical Transportation System.) The GeoPort, invented by their parents, has the ability to transport a person to any place on Earth within seconds. Knowing the power they had created, their parents' dying wish was for the kids to destroy the GeoPort before it lands in the wrong hands. But when the teens are separated by their pursuers, they must make a life or death attempt to find each other and get the GeoPort to a mysterious Indian Temple where the chase becomes more than just a high-tech game of hide-and-seek, but a war for control of everything—money, culture, politics, and power.

This was an action packed read that readers of all ages can enjoy. The plot was fresh and the characters were interesting. The writing flowed well and was easy to read. This is the first book I've read by Gary Urey, but I'm excited to read more books from this author.

I received a copy of this ebook from Net Galley for my honest review.

NOTE: I will post this review on goodreads and amazon two weeks prior to the book release.

For the last 6 months Axel and Daisha have been pursued by men trying to steal their parent's invention. You see, their parents invention always people to transport simply by GPS coordinates instantaneously. Their parents worked for a wealthy investor who wants to use the invention solely for financial gain. To prevent that Axel and Daisha's parent decided to destroy the invention but were killed before they could. Their last words to the kids were to take the devices to a mysterious person (turns out not to be person but a place) and destroy it.

Can Axel and Daisha keep evading the men in pursuit and destroy the devices before it is too late? I wish I knew :) This is the first book in a series and it ain't over... But it was full of action - a bit too scientific in parts but good overall.
