I enjoyed this a lot. Although we were given too many clues as to who the Vesper on board was, I would have liked it more had we been lead to believe the same as Fiske and then been shocked at the end :.

Jul 12, James rated it really liked it Shelves: His older sister Grace has been protecting the Cahill secrets for years, but now needs Fiske's help. I rather enjoyed the book, especially seeing some of the times where Fiske was stuttering when nervous, much like Amy would. While it can be read as a standalone book, it does tie together nicely with the previous 39 clues series.
Aug 05, Christian rated it it was ok Shelves: kindle. Of the Riley books in the series, this is likely the weakest one yet. It doesn't help that it follows a fairly passive character who has been rather minor in terms of the action throughout both series to this point. I don't know. I'm sure I need to cut the character some slack because he's only 14 and isn't accustomed to the Cahill life, but still.
Perhaps after reading the next book in the series, I'll see what we were supposed to get out of this novella and will appreciate it more. View 1 comment. Fiske Cahill is a teenager at boarding school when he gets an urgent message from Grace saying she is in trouble. Grace sends the Ring with Fiske and schedules him a safe passage on a submarine journey. Unfortunately, the Vespers are everywhere including locked in the submarine with Fiske.
An enjoyable amount of suspense and turmoil. I appreciated having a story that centered on Fiske because we hardly ever focus on him during the main series as a POV. Apr 01, Yukiraking rated it really liked it Shelves: own. If I hadn't pieced together who the "villain" was from near the start, I would've given this one a five star rating.
I loved getting to know young Fiske, especially as I get ready to dive into the Cahill vs Vespers series where I figure he'll play a prominent part. Great story, and I'm really glad I read it. Jul 14, Jakenv rated it it was amazing Shelves: action , adventure , children , fiction , mystery , ya. I find this series to be one of my favorite. Each author keeps story progressing without seeming to lose thread of adventure.
Riley is one of my favorite authors and he does not disappoint with addition to this story line. Feb 09, Kate rated it it was ok. More of the Cahill family back story.
This one is an adventure with Fiske when he was 14 years old. It really doesn't serve an important purpose to the bigger story arc, but it's interesting to get to know Fiske a little better. I just didn't think the story was very engaging. Mar 16, Robert rated it liked it Shelves: reads. The story was fairly good.
Although I have trouble following up the story because of the submarine-ish and other things, but overall it was very interesting. Probably not the best but also not the worst for the Cahill Files. Hoping for more action on the next one. Jun 29, NVTony rated it it was amazing Shelves: action-adventure , children , fiction , young-adult.
This one is by author Riley who always provides an excellent adventure. Characters and situations realistic. Jul 30, Gigi Anderson rated it it was amazing.
I love the story about Fiske. I feel like I know almost nothing about him and while HE might think Grace is better at fighting for peace I think he is just as great as his big sister. Mar 27, Josephine rated it it was amazing. This was really good! A lot better than the first book. The second half was especially good and there was some good mystery in it. The characters were good and I liked reading about Fiske as a kid.
Aug 05, Lily rated it really liked it. I really enjoyed this story. I loved learning about Fiske when he was younger. I always wanted to know more about him or read a story about him, and this book does that.
