THIS WAS THE WORST BOOK I EVER READ!!!!!! it was very slow there was nothing that ever talked about dooms day. It was mostly all dialogue no real story. I high recommend not reading this book it was a complete total waste of my time don't make the mistake i made read a different book. ( )

I like the YA books, but surprisingly, I couldn't get into this book. It just seemed slow and dry to me. I don't like giving bad reviews and I don't think this is a bad book, it just wasn't my cup of tea. Sorry. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. It is different from what I would normally read but found it to be quite enjoyable. I love spies novels and this one will not disappoint even cooler that the spies are teenagers. A good read for young and old. ( )

Another great one for my students. I have in mind a couple of guys who would love this adventure story. It's fast-paced in both story and in readability. I liked the concept of four teen spies who have their own abilities and talents and use those to help the future.

I did have a little trouble at the beginning because I hadn't read the first book in the series but, once I got my feet under me, it was a great read. ( )

Four teen spies, Danny, Fuchsia, Opal and Michael are part of the Shadow Project, working with their unique abilities to project themselves astrally and see into the future. When a box full of vials that contain the black plague from the Middle Ages shows up, it is up to these four resourceful teenagers to contact Agent Cobra in 1962 Russia. Traveling back in time does have its risks, yet they seem to have all the right intelligence. But, Michael and Opal are captured by the KGB, and Michael is tortured in hopes that he spills what he knows...thankfully, Agent Cobra has a few tricks up his sleeve and he gets them to safety. That's when they all need to put their heads together and avert the Cuban Missile Crisis from happening.

The Doomsday Box: A Shadow Project Adventure is full of tension, adventure, and page-turning intrigue. The historical facts lend a air of credibility to the time travel phenomena. Although this is the second book in the Shadow Box adventures, the characters are well-defined and outlined. In truth, however, I would have loved to read the first one prior to this. A great read, nonetheless!
