The Dangerous Days of Daniel X (Daniel X Series #1)

by James Patterson Narrated by Milo Ventimiglia

Overview

The greatest superpower of all isn't to be part spider, part man, or to cast magic spells -- the greatest power is the power to create.

Daniel has that power.

Daniel's secret abilities -- like being able to manipulate objects and animals with his mind or to recreate himself in any shape he chooses -- have helped him survive. But Daniel doesn't have a normal life. He is the protector of the earth, the Alien Hunter, with a mission beyond what anyone could imagine.

From the day that his parents were brutally murdered in front of his very eyes, Daniel has used his unique gifts to hunt down their assassin. Finally, with the help of The List bequeathed to him in his parents' dying breath, he has located the killer.

Now, on his own, he vows to take on his father's mission--and to have vengeance in the process.

"[Daniel X] has all the characteristic of his work for grown-ups: pace, action, mystery and cool...sharp and punchy with plenty of jokes and shocks."—Sunday Times (UK)

NOVEMBER 2008 - AudioFile

James Patterson is really getting this teen science-fiction genre down. The author of the MAXIMUM RIDE series, about bird children, is at it again with THE DANGEROUS DAYS OF DANIEL X, with some writing assistance from Michael Ledwidge. They could not have done better than Milo Ventimiglia as the narrator of this short novel about an alien boy, Daniel, who lives on Earth and hunts evil extraterrestrials who want to enslave the population and drain its resources. Clearly, kids will love this amazing alien gifted with mysterious powers. As Daniel, Ventimiglia, a regular on “Heroes” and “Gilmore Girls,” comes off as brash and confident, but, at the same time, a little scared about his mission. Ventimiglia also does a mean horse-faced alien impression. M.S. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
