Resumen
Resumen
Spider-Man meets Men in Black in this heart-stopping novel from James Patterson, author of the bestselling books Maximum Ride and When the Wind Blows.
He was born with great power . The greatest superpower of all isn't to be part spider, part man, or to cast magic spells - the greatest power is the power to create. Daniel X has that power.
And a Deadly Secret . Daniel's secret abilities - like being able to manipulate objects and animals with his mind or to re-create himself in any shape he chooses - have helped him survive. But Daniel doesn't have a normal life. He is the protector of Earth, the Alien Hunter, with a mission beyond anyone's imagining.
Now the fate of the world rests on Daniel X . From the day that his parents were brutally murdered before his very eyes, Daniel has used his unique gifts to hunt down their assassin. Finally, with the help of The List, bequeathed to him in his parents' dying breath, he is closing in on the killer.

Reseña de Publisher's Weekly
Patterson jumps on the superheroes bandwagon with contributor Ledwidge and delivers the adventures of Daniel X, a superpowered alien whose mission is to defend Earth from more malignant, threatening aliens. In his first adventure, listeners hear the typical origin story (parents killed by the most vile alien on Earth), his early adventures (growing up on his own with amazing powers) and his first real step into manhood (facing off against another alien). The story throws in a few interesting twists, but isn't particularly dynamic as superhero narratives go. The production is sparsely sprinkled with sound effects, which work quite well and add to the story, but there is a lack of consistency to their execution. However, Milo Ventimiglia makes it worth the listen. His timing and inflection match perfectly with Daniel, the first-person protagonist. He sounds youthful enough to be believable as Daniel and easily transitions to other character voices within the story. A Little, Brown hardcover. (July) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
Library Journal Review
In his second YA-intended crossover series (after "Maximum Ride"), Patterson reunites with Ledwidge, with whom he coauthored Quickie, an LJ Best Audiobook of 2007. The two here write of the adventures of a 15-year-old boy intent on avenging his parents' murder by aliens. Though Heroes star Milo Ventimiglia's reading is well executed--his self-deprecating tone conveying all the insecurities of teenagehood--his talented reading can't save this work from its substandard prose, flat characters, absurd plot twists, and holes large enough to fly an alien battle cruiser through--flaws all exacerbated in audio. Not recommended. [Also recorded by Hachette Audio. 4 CDs. unabridged. ISBN 978-1-60024-200-7. $22.98; audio clip available through library.booksontape.com.--Ed.]--Jodi L.
