Fyn Carter and the Legends from Atlantis is the second instalment in this thrilling sci-fi adventure series – and what a brilliantly exciting return it proved to be!
12-year-old Fyn and his friends may have escaped the Agents of Eromlos but they are not safe as the agents are still hunting them, determined to gain something that only Fyn can give them. Can Fyn find a safe way back to Earth and save himself, his family and his friends from the danger that follows them? Can he find out what happened to his father before he has to find a way to leave?
When Fyn returns to Homehill, the village where his father had been, he discovers that it has been attacked and destroyed by the Agents. Finding one of the young villagers, he tells Fyn that the villagers have escaped and gone to their secret refuge. Fyn and the others take the young boy there where they are reunited with the village leader, Rogan. He tells them of an ancient Atlantean legend, of a powerful mechanism that can both defend and destroy. Could this weapon exist and are the Agents capable of using it against the people of Eromlos? But there is another legend from Atlantis, the legend of a boy who is a descendant of Atlantis, a boy with the power to open windows between worlds … with the power to bring hope …
And so begins another action-packed, exhilarating adventure, as Fyn and his friends face great peril both from the earthquakes that are becoming more frequent and the agents who will stop at nothing to get to Fyn. I absolutely loved this explosive adventure and learning more about Fyn and his connection to Ermolos which is a parallel Earth. I really liked the setting of the snowy mountains combined with the danger from deep within the earth. I loved the twists and turns, the breathtaking revelations and the sense of unease from the uncertainty of who Fyn could trust.
Fyn is an incredibly courageous young boy who takes great risks for his friends to ensure that they are safe. But he is also someone who feels guilt and who doubts himself. Having others believe in him really helps him to believe in himself. Amy is a wonderfully supportive and loyal friend to Fyn. I also have to mention Henry Flame who is just the most adorable fox who is such an encouragement and comfort to Fyn. I adored the close bond between Fyn and his Grandad Bernie which is just gorgeous.
A gripping, action-packed adventure, perfect for readers of 9+.
