The Jaws of Death (Max Cassidy, book 2) by Paul Adam
This is the second Max Cassidy adventure in a planned trilogy from author Paul Adam. I have been waiting for this sequel to 'Escape From Shadow Island' for what seems like months and months. I stumbled across this series by accident but so loved the characters and the writing and the incredibly exciting plot that I was hooked almost after the first page. It will hold enormous appeal for those fans of Charlie Higson's Young Bond and Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider books who are mourning the prospect of the end of two awesome series and looking for something to fill the gap. However, although similar in terms of the fact that the main character is a teenage boy with above average skills, wit and intelligence, it is also extremely unique with a captivating plot all of its own.
Max Cassidy is a fourteen year old Houdini following in the footsteps of his famous father Alexander Cassidy.
Get A Copy
He's determined to find out what happened to his father on Shadow Island and in the process hopes to prove his mother's innocence and free her from the twenty year jail sentence she's serving for supposedly killing her husband. What I love about Max is that he doesn't really have any special training at all apart from his talent at escapology and he doesn't have a whole array of gadgets at his disposal but he tends to get the upper hand because he always thinks one step ahead of everyone else.
He's also very clever and uses his wits and skills to best the bad guys!

Paul Adam really racks up the tension to an excruciating level throughout this book. My palms started getting sweaty as I became totally enthralled and gripped by the continual abrupt turns and unexpected twists in the plot. The story takes place in Britain, as well as Borneo and Stockholm. The wide range of settings kept the story moving along at a brisk pace and added several unique obstacles for Max to overcome.
I loved this book and the whole series so far. The only thing disappointing is that there's only more book to go! Perhaps Max could be recruited by a special organisation and so his adventures could go on and on, or even better Although this title will probably mainly appeal to a male audience it really has universal appeal and will I'm sure, attract many male and female fans looking for a thrilling and exciting read.
Jan 05, Books Kids Like rated it really liked it Shelves: Still packed with great prose, interesting characters, and practically non-stop action like the first book- Escape from Shadow Island- this book is more predictable and a bit repetitive. Nonetheless, I think the reader will enjoy the experience as much as I did. While Max pursues the evidence that disproves his father's death, the forces behind the conspiracy close in on Max.
Max's escape techniques come in handy when he is arrested for terrorism and incarcerated in a top-secret British prison. He alludes recapture as he travels to Indonesia after learning that his father flew there just a week before. Max must find the connection between the Cedar Alliance, the orangutan preserve near Pangkalan Bun, and Julius Clarks' palm oil plantations that are quickly destroying the Indonesian rain forest.
Max's father is presumed to be dead and his mother is in jail for presumably killing him.
Quick Reference
Max though, knows that his father is alive because of a letter he got from him and he knows that his mother should never have been put in prison. Now, it is up to his temporary guardian, Consuela and an old friend, Chris who turns up in their basement one fine day to find out more about Max's father and to prove his mother's innocence with law-breaking tycoons like Julius Clark and Rupert Penhall monitoring Max's father is presumed to be dead and his mother is in jail for presumably killing him.

This book was OK with some action, almost zero mystery, slight suspense and an OK story line. It's quite similar to the Alex Rider series which I feel are better.
