Agent Out (Fearless FBI) [Paperback]

Francine Pascal (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 28, 2006

Catherine is dead.

At least that's what the FBI claims. They say there's no point investigating the strange disappearance any further. Instead they want Gaia to stay in Quantico to carry on the search for the Lollipop Murderer.

Gaia is convinced her partner is still alive -- and that she needs help. Even if it means putting the murder case on hold, Gaia must go after her.

But going AWOL means losing the support of the FBI. Gaia will be completely on her own and heading into danger. Because Catherine's abduction is far more complicated -- and more sinister -- than she realized. In fact, it's a whole new mystery.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 9 Up-After attempting to convince the FBI to search for her partner, Gaia realizes that going AWOL is the only way that she will be able to help. The agency considers Catherine dead, but Gaia knows she is alive and desperately needs her help. As she searches for clues about her friend's whereabouts, Gaia also realizes that she has to run from the Bureau agents who are searching for her before she discovers what covert operations have put Catherine in danger. Unfortunately, the cliff-hanger ending leaves readers less than satisfied and is a blatant device to force them to purchase the next book in the series. Also frustrating are the minor editing errors that are found throughout the book. Purchase this title for those who are desperate to continue the story, but warn them of the abrupt ending.-Lynn Evarts, Sauk Prairie High School, Prairie du Sac, WI

This review is from: Agent Out (Fearless FBI) (Paperback)

I loved this book. I tried to go slower so i would have to wait as long for the next one but it didn't exactly work.In the beginning evrything makes sense and u just want Gaia to find Catherine. But nearer to the end you get confused and its one of those suspensed kind of confusing feelings. I have read every fearless book and reccomend the to ANYONE and EVERYONE. If u like suspense or staying up all nihgt reading u will love these books. The FBI series is a new series but i would reccomend reading the fearless series first. She ties the old books in very well! Gaia still hasn't gotten over Jake, and that plays a part in this series because she doesn't want to lie to will like she did to jake and sam and ed. So eventually she decides to tell him her secret and he doesn't even believe her!! He will eventually. Gaia is once agian forced to belive that she should never trust anyone when she is betrayed yet AGAIN. From who? now that ur going to have to read to find out about. Once agian great book. I can't believe we have to wait till JUNE for the next one!

CarolinaGirl (South Carolina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Agent Out (Fearless FBI) (Paperback)

When the Fearless series ended - I was very sad. Although I agree that Pascal ended the series at a good point and did not drag it out too long - I knew I was going to miss some of my favorite characters like Ed, Jake, Sam, Tom, Heather, (yes...even Loki), and all the others introduced to us along the way. When Fearless FBI started, I was apprehensive and it was hard for me to get used to Gaia having new friends :-) But Pascal has done a wonderful job introducing and really making these new characters (Kim, Will, and Catherine) concrete and individuals of their own. (One thing I LOVE is that Will is from South Carolina, and that is where I was born and raised and still reside :-D Why couldn't he have stayed here?!? He seems like a hottie!...Reminding myself these people are just characters... - ...okay. Back to review.) I love how Gaia is showing growth through the series. This last book, Agent Out, truely shocked me. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Of course I'm not going to spoil anything for anyone - but just to say the ending was a shocker was an understatement. If you love Fearless and haven't given Fearless FBI a chance, you honestly are missing out. And even for readers for haven't read Fearless, Fearless FBI is a complete new series, so I completely reccommend jumping right in and starting a fasinating and suspenciful journey with Fearless FBI. (If you can't tell...I completely reccommend).

Gaia_aiaG "aiaG" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Agent Out (Fearless FBI) (Paperback)

This book was definatly awesome. I can't even begin to explain how great of a writer francine pascal is to take this tough topic of the FBI and it's training courses and all of that and putting Gaia, the character that i've followed since the beginning, into this new setting and making a sequel of books so fantastic that it's like the first series never really ended at all. i had to be one of the first people to even pick up the origanl fearless books in my area and find it fancinating, and i'm so glad i did, because these books are better than anything i could ever imagine on my own. Each book makes you thirst for the next upcomming release. This book was no different. All the twists and turns in the plot are what makes it such an exciting story and so hard to put down. I can't say i've taken more than two to three days to read any of these books on Gaia, and i wouldn't want to. She is such an outstandinly facinating character that it makes you WANT her to be real so you can actually meet her and get to know her inner workings. I just hope that Gaia and Will make it through all these perils and can actually make it together, because when Jake died in the original series, i was in utter shock. I could not believe that Francene would make that happen, but i guess it all worked out in a way. Hopefully this series can make it to as many as the original Fearless, because i'll be waiting in line for each new piece of the captivating puzzle that is Gaia Moore's life.
