Z Apocalypse
Publisher: Random House Children's Books
Z Apocalypse is the final installment of the Z Rex trilogy in which 14-year-old Adam Adler is unwillingly drawn into a battle to save the world from impending doom at the hands of evil scientists and their genetically-engineered dinosaurs.
Tense and action-packed, with two likable central characters in Adam and Zoe (a strong, positive depiction of a character with a disability) this is an exciting adventure which will keep readers turning the pages until the end. The themes of dinosaurs and computer gaming are guaranteed to appeal to boy readers, but this novel is also raises some intelligent and thought-provoking questions about the misuse of science and the corruption of ultimate power.
