I have been reading Robert Muchamore's CHERUB series for 12 years now, and it has been a heck of a ride! I even have a signed copy of [book:Brigands M.C.|6469814] I picked up on holiday in the UK in 2009!
New Guard can be split into two separate missions. The first sees the main characters from the Aramov books (with main character Ryan, age 17, about the age out of the program) on a minor mission stumble across some BIG intel. The second mission sees original CHERUB character James Adams not just act as a mission controller, but lead a mission with other former agents deep in to IS territory in Syria . I did like this particular setting, as it meant that the content or the missions remained culturally and politically relevant to the year it was set, while some of the minor plot points acknowledges changing cultural standards (such as the demolition of student dormitories in favour of smaller housing units for the children in a move away from institutionalisation).
A lovely conclusion, and a fitting "getting the band back together" ending. My only gripe? The publishers have changed the formatting style of the cover, so my copy looks completely different to the rest of the set!

the ACTUAL commando mission takes so little time of the book it made me mad. an ending for a 17 books series that felt like a rough draft.

Wenn auch nicht mein Lieblingsbuch in der Serie, definitiv ein guter Abschluss der Serie.
Wer die Top Secret Bücher von Anfang an gelesen hat, den überkommen in diesem Buch nostalgische Gefühle wenn die alten und neuen Cherub Agenten aufeinander treffen. Sicherlich kein literarisches Meisterwerk und auch nicht wirklich auf meine Altersklasse ausgelegt, aber ich hatte definitiv Spaß.
Abzüge gibt es von mir auch für den Umgang mit Pädophilie.

Is what I believe an (overall) fitting conclusion to a series that has enthralled readers for over a decade. Will be sad to see it go. 5/5

Perfect ending and overall a good mission. The line where James says he’s going to try and get the gang together for one last mission really tugged on my heart strings as well as the final line when Ning tells James to never grow up. Also JAMES AND KERRY ARE HAVING A BABY AND ARE MARRIED???
