The first young adult novel from legendary New York Times- bestselling author Jack Higgins.
For thirty years, Jack Higgins has enraptured adult readers with his thrilling tales of spies and intrigue. Now, for the first time he brings his bestselling touch to the world of teens with an adventure to remember.
For fifteen-year-old twins Rich and Jade, their lives have just been turned upside down. When their mother is tragically killed in a car crash, their long- lost father John Chance appears to collect them at the funeral. He's a bachelor who lives on his own, and it's clear that Rich and Jade aren't welcome. But when Chance suddenly disappears, Rich and Jade uncover the truth: He's a spy. And now, whoever kidnapped their father is after them, too.
Dangerous, fast-paced, and packed with action, Sure Fire is a gripping adventure from the master of the modern thriller.

Sure Fire (Rich and Jade Series #1)
I came to this book reluctantly. I saw it and thought that it was a copy of Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider novels, and it is. But it's better. Much better.
The teaming of spy/adventure veteran Jack Higgins with Justin Richards means that Higgins did some of the research and the outline, while Richards did the writing. Richards adds fresh blood to Higgins style, which, in the adult side of things, has been noticably dragging over the last four or five years, if not longer. Richards adds gadgetry to the story, which is somethign Higgins has always avoided like the plague.
The way Higgins/Richards pulls the Chance twins--Jade and Rich--into the story is much more plausible than what Horowitz did with Alex Rider. And just like vintage Higgins, once the action gets moving--and Higgins always starts it moving quickly--it doesn't let up.
This is fun for the kids and mom and dad can enjoy too.
