Explanation Supposing Books Rogue (H.I.V.E. #5)
The HIVE series has a lot of elements that one might consider cliché in a villain/hero story like this. There are the types of villains that would fit right into a James Bond movie as well as an indestructible hero that survives. It might be bothering me a little bit that it’s always the very same five children who get in trouble (or sometimes it’s seven but Franz and Nigel are quite sidelined (again) in this book). This novel granted us the reappearance of the earlier imprisoned Cypher, who is as psychopathic as ever and can be considered a wild card. His reintroduction was very fitting to the topic since it was once again a battle against Overlord (I can’t get around the fact that it’s the best possible and obvious choice of a name for the almighty entity). While I love the adults in the story I can’t warm up to most of the children. They just seem a little bit displaced and their appearance of the scene of events was too forced (This refers to the three girls rather than Otto or Wing). I wish that Walden would focus more on the classes at HIVE and how they actually develop to be those Evil Geniuses that they are supposed to become. Instead the story focuses too much on what the adults are doing. Highlights of this installment are the reappearance of Cypher and also the beloved HIVEmind (which I have found myself missing a lot). Then there is of course the big change that Nero has taken over the leadership of GLOVE, which I hope will show us his not so kind side a bit more in the further books. After all this man is not just a nice supportive teacher but a true evil mastermind. We got to see a little glimpse of how capable he is of doing that job at the end of the book and I hope it’s expanded further, not just in the shapes of empty threats. I admit that I’m a bit troubled with the general series because it seems more and more like the adults are taking over the storyline and not the children. Some of the themes especially the torture is a bit too vivid in my opinion when you consider that this book is meant for a younger audience. But it’s still a very fast and enjoyable read with many intriguing twists and a predictable, yet brilliant cliffhanger at the end.Specify Containing Books Rogue (H.I.V.E. #5)

They are getting darker; I guess I should have expected this. 2 books left to go in the series. What's a girl to do? The good bad guys are still fighting the bad bad guys...and winning? But the ratio of violence/deaths/the end justifies the means is definitely higher. Bad language is still there (not sure if it is stronger or just still there). No real level of romance. Drinking/smoking mentioned in passing (done by the bad bad guys). Trying to take over the world for sheer crazy "I am aRogue was very exciting to read! It felt like every other chapter new characters were revealed as traitors!!! Otto has been captured and is being used to kill members of an important group called G.L.O.V.E.. When Otto's friends tries to rescue him, it's a little difficult. considering that he too is fighting against them. His mind is being controlled, and it will take a complicated plan to insure that he is rescued and "healed", without accidentally being killed. To create this plan and rescue
A great continuance to the series. Action-packed and fun to read. It's technical too in a futuristic, sci-fi way. A fun intro to sci-fi for kids, grade 5+. Plenty of violence/death but the gore is at a minimum.
After saving Air Force 1 in dreadnaught, Otto is injected by Sebastian Trent with Animus, an organic supercomputer which turns him into a slave. Trent uses Otto and a superhuman assassin called Ghost, to attack members of G.L.O.V.E.. This forces Darkdoom to order Ottos execution. Nero sends Raven to retrieve Otto, and Wing stows away with her to try to help, but the pair of them are captured by H.O.P.E at one of Raven's safe houses. Cypher (who was freed to help combat overlord) takes advantage
This is the 5th book in the H.I.V.E. series. Otto has been taken by the enemy and the headmaster of H.I.V.E. finds out that he is attacking people from the villain society he is in (G.L.O.V.E.). Raven and Otto's best friend Wing are trying to find Otto and turn him back before he gets killed. This book is really good, interesting, and action-packed (like all the books in the H.I.V.E. series) and I definitely recommend it.

Lots of action in this book. Great detail and lots of tension during the whole thing . However, I will be stopping in this series I would advise it to 11- 12 year old. Ending was very predictable which I hate in books .
