#5

Now I am reading the sixth book in the same series, called Man Vs. Beast. In this book, or "mission" the agent's goal is to infiltrate a secret pro-violence animal rights group inside of a peaceful one. The group is called the Animal Freedom Militia, or AFM. Both groups are located in a small town whose leading employer is Malarek Research Facilities. Malarek is one of England's largest animal testing laboratories, and employees are frequently attacked. One woman was blinded and burned on her face and neck after someone broke into the house and threw acid in her face. Workers at the lab qualify for "hazard pay" because of how dangerous the activists can be. James and Lauren are integrated into a local family near Malarek so they can join the crowd of animal activists. Once the agents are familiar faces around the protesters, they start to befriend some of the local teenagers who are involved in more radical things. They uncover a new and improved group called the Animal Freedom Army, and successfully make over 15 arrests and stop the murder of a famous chef. This book wasn't as good as the others I've read so far, but still keeps you guessing until the very end.
