The Devil's Breath is an exciting adventure story featuring fifteen year old Max Gordon, a high school student at Dartmoor High in England. Dartmoor isn't a normal boys' school. Running, throwing, shooting, fighting, and other skills are taught there along with the regular high school curriculum. 

Max rarely sees his father, but he knows he is a dangerous man who often finds trouble investigating crimes in other countries. After Max is out for a run and attacked, he discovers that his father has gone missing. When Max starts getting clues as to where his dad might be, he decides to try and find him, leading him to an adventure in Africa and a possible ecological disaster.

This was an action packed story with lots of twists and turns. There are a few mystical elements to the story that aren't explained in detail, but they do add depth. Anyone who likes mystery and adventure will love this story.
