|sort=Thirteenth Skull: Alfred Kropp 3, The

The third adventure about Alfred Kropp sees our Arthurian descendant's crisis centred around a third artifact. The first book was all about Excalibur, the second all about Solomon's Seal and this one, menacingly, is all about the Thirteenth Skull. As you can see, the Arthurian motif is getting a little flimsy. But this doesn't really matter if the chase is the thing. And indeed, the chase is the thing. Assassins are after Alfred. His guardian Samuel is risking his life to protect him, and Alfred, the world's most reluctant teen hero, has had enough. He wants to hand himself in to OIPEP and avoid the mysterious new enemy and the even more mysterious Thirteenth Skull. But can he trust the new Operative Nine? Of course he can't! There's a chase to be had!

If they like action film plots for their reading too, they'll love [[Spray by Harry Edge]].
