    Critical reception

    The books received a variety of reviews, all positive. The Independent described the first book as

    Jimmy Coates Books for Boys Annan Academy English Department Blog

    "Few books have the power to drag young boys away from their Xbox or Wii but I've seen the Jimmy Coates series in action – Super Mario is no match for this schoolboy assassin."

    It was described by School Library Association as

    "Packed full of shocks and surprises, high-octane action sequences, constant dangers and near-miss escapes from death, this is an at-a-sitting read for Bond and Rider fans everywhere. With bags of film potential..."

    It was a finalist for the 2006 Manchester Book Award, and won the Bolton Children's Book Award 2006.
