About this ebook
The follow-up to the critically acclaimed Phoenix Island, which reads like “Lord of the Flies meets Wolverine and Cool Hand Luke” (F. Paul Wilson, creator of Repairman Jack) and inspired the CBS TV show Intelligence.
With a chip in his head and hundreds more throughout his body, sixteen-year-old Carl Freeman was turned from an orphan with impulse control issues into a super-soldier. Forced into the mercenary Phoenix Force group, he begins to fear he’ll never escape. Sent to a volcanic island to fight for them, he’ll compete in a combat tournament that awards teens with survival for merciless brutality. But just when all looks lost, he spies a friendly face…and possibly a way out.

A decent book. It definitely didn't go in the direction I thought it would, but it made for a great expansion on Phoenix Island. Honestly, I think there could be a while other series with Carl, Octavia and the others at SI3. Hopefully there will be another book or two from this great author!

I absolutely loved this book. I had to force myself to slow down while reading this, as I wanted to enjoy this sensational story for longer.
