Product Description:
With an exciting new Patterson narrative in a graphic novel format, Daniel X continues his quest in a full-color, action-packed adventure!
Long ago, after his parents' brutal murder, Daniel inherited the coveted List of Alien Outlaws and assumed his father's role as Alien Hunter. With his supreme abilities, like being able to shape-shift and conjure up long-dead family members out of thin air, Daniel is ready to take on the scum of the universe.
Number 7 on the list--grand-master of an interplanetary game of destruction that could result in the eventual take-over of earth--is his next target. In a journey that takes him through the bowels of Tokyo and into other realms, Daniel ingeniously tracks the insectile mastermind. But when #7 reveals his true and terrifying powers, Daniel must enlist the help of #7's own son before he finds himself at the center of the most high-stakes game yet.

I found this book to be a great two hour time killer. I was lucky enough to be able to just sit down and read it without having it interrupted (which being in the military happens a lot, and that is one thing that I love about James as an author-short paragraphs). But it is a book geared towards the tween era and I have to wonder what age the people writing the "bad" reviews are. Is it up to par with his adult novels, absolutely not, but it is a sweet story that is great if you are looking for a simple escape. A word to all of the people who claim to be dissapointed, DON'T READ A BOOK FROM THE YOUNG ADULT SECTION AND EXPECT SOMETHING WITH THE COMPLEXITY OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.

A lot of the reviews here are accurate, except the ones that say this book is remotely good. I was stuck on a plane so i was forced to read this book and I literally could not believe that Patterson, who has done some great stuff in the past, would put his name on this book.
Not only is it obvious Patterson had nothing to do with the writing here, but it seems like it was written by a ten year old. Its a cheap Men-in-Black copycat and is completely unreadable. These authors selling themselves out by putting their names on books they have nothing to do with is unethical and clearly bait and switch tactics.
Don't waste your money. I swear if i was at the airport were I bought this I would have returned the book. I am an avid reader and this is the worst book i have ever read by far.

THE DANGEROUS DAYS OF DANIEL X
JAMES PATTERSON & MICHAEL LEDWIDGE
Young Adult
Little, Brown
Rating: 5 Enchantments
Alien Bounty Hunter Daniel has been living on his own since age three when his parents were killed by The Prayer, an alien looking for `The List`. Now fifteen, Daniel is determined to crack the top ten list and is set on number six Ergent Seth, a top level alien. But cracking the top ten of `The List' is a dangerous proposition, even for a skilled alien hunter like Daniel and he may wind up way over his head before its over.
I absolutely loved THE DANGEROUS DAYS OF DANIEL X! Daniel himself is a great character, an alien who is an alien bounty hunter. His voice, his sarcasm, everything just clicks really well and helps make him one of my favorite characters of the year. I loved how he materialized his friends and parents, even a younger sister when the need arose. When he goes after Ergent Seth, he finds himself leaving Portland and heading to Los Angeles where Ergent Seth is already well aware Daniel is after him. And the lengths Seth will go to in order to scare Daniel away are
Short chapters, a great premise and a great character in Daniel himself keep the story moving at a fast pace. Filled with a lot of great twists and turns, including one very jaw dropping moment involving Seth make this an amazing read. I can't wait for the next in this entertaining series!

I bought this and expected much more than i really got for the money. I thought hey i can't go wrong with a James Patterson especially after reading Maximum ride. BOY i was WRONG!!
Daniel X is a young 15 yr old boy whose parents were killed by The Prayer, what is the prayer you ask? A praying mantis alien. Very original ...
So without parents, family, or help he sets out to destroy those on "The List" left to him by his parents.
He discovers that he naturally has supernatural powers. Of course..so along the way you see him talking to his dead parents, dead sister, and of course getting out of EVERY sticky situation.
This novel was worse than Juvenile, it was like eating soggy carboard. Gross, soft, nothing to make you think hard, and very bland.
Should you read this? Only if you haven't got any other books to read, in other words only if your stuck on a deserted island with only this book.

From the first paragraph of THE DANGEROUS DAYS OF DANIEL X, the reader is intrigued with what is to come. James Patterson, in collaboration with Michael Ledwidge, creates a unique science fiction story that will especially appeal to the younger male population.
Daniel is only three years old when his parents are murdered in the kitchen above him. The murder isn't a typical murder. It's one most of us wouldn't believe. You see, Daniel's parents are murdered by a 6-foot tall praying mantis looking alien, Ergent Seth. Seth has come looking for Daniel's parents because they are Alien Hunters. And they have The List. The List names the most horrific, evil, murderous aliens.
As the story develops, Daniel shares with the reader his thoughts, and, more importantly, his various super abilities. Because, like his parents, Daniel too is an alien. But Daniel is able to blend in with humans. His parents had settled in Kansas, the most unassuming place for them to blend in.
Daniel begins where his parents have left off. Daniel is 15 and has begun to hunt the aliens that are on The List. After a few successes, he decides to take on Ergent Seth. Seth is #6 on the list. Seth is probably more powerful than Daniel, but Daniel has revenge on his side.
Daniel is taken on a wild adventure on his quest to defeat Seth. On his journey, he travels to Alpar Nok, the home planet of people like him, Alien Hunters. The biggest surprise is when ... Read More
