Daniel X Series

This young adult/science fiction series was written by James Patterson along with Chris Grabenstein, Ned Rust, Adam Sadler, and Michael Ledwidge. The Daniel X series is about a young alien hunter with superior strength and speed as well as, the ability to create just about anything with the power of his imagination.

Much like many other James Patterson books, the Daniel X series is fast-paced with short, easy to read chapters and packed with adventure and suspense. In my opinion, this series is mostly geared towards pre-teens and teens. I don’t believe adults would enjoy this series as much as the Maximum Ride Series.

James Patterson also put out a colorful graphic novel called Alien Hunter in 2008 that follows the first book, The Dangerous Days of Daniel X.

Twelve years later, at the age of fifteen, Daniel continues his parents’ duties as Defender of the Earth. He is determined to hunt down the alien responsible for killing his parents. Daniel uses the ‘List’, a high-tech machine created by his father. The List reveals the location of all the aliens on Earth.
