What is confusing in this book? Why?
What I found confusing in the past chapters is that Nikolei Drevin is actually a bad guy. He seemed like a nice, rich guy but his plans are beyond belief. He was the creator of Force Three and he plans to take down Ark Angel. He will pin the blame on them and get away clean. I don’t fully understand why he is taking Ark Angel down but I do know that he plans to have it land on the Pentagon. He said that he would be taking Ark Angel down for monetary purposes because the project is insured. But what mostly confused me is that Nikolei planned to have his own sons finger cut off. One other thing that is confusing is that he already spent billions of dollars on the Ark Angel project. He said that he wanted to recover some of the money because this project was taking more time because of delays thus he is spending more money.


Which character would you like (or not like) to be your friend? Why?
I think that if I wanted anyone to be my friend it would probably be Alex. I know that he would always have my back and protect me from any danger but he would be gone most of the time. There is also Paul Drevin. He seems nice and I can relate to him with the asthma. He seems to be a bit spoiled but he is all in all a nice kid. If I had to pick one of the two it would probably be Alex because Paul seems to be a bit unsocial and keeps to himself. Alex is also the coolest character in the book. One person I would not like to be my friend is obviously Nikolei Drevin. He is the villain and he seems like a nice guy but he is involved with the Chinese Triads, the Russian Mafiya, and several other criminal organizations. He’s not the type of friend you want.
