I don't know that I'm too keen on the plot with Timmy and his father, but I do love the idea of the Bear Company, so I'll go ahead and give this book a try. Thanks for the review!

Wow! I would like to explore the book because of Dr. Peter. His invention and the machine or tool he invented. I would love to know how the scientist also struggles with the kidnappers.

This book is good for the children who are far away from their parents, teaching them how to fight against all odds, to be brave and believe in themselves that they can survive without them by the support of others who are with them, but still loving them despite of their situation.

This review got me very interested, but I'm might not read it because I get scared to death about this kind of stuff. Maybe once I get better with that stuff I'll read it. For now, add it to the list.

A great review that makes one curious to see what happened to the kidnapped father. Was the son able to rescue him? I can see the themes of love and family royalty taking precedence in this father and son relationship.

So a kid gets to learn to overcome his fears and fight to save his father. That sounds interesting, but not sure if I'll give it a read. Great review.
Just reading... :techie-studyingbrown: :techie-studyinggray:

Nice review! This looks like it could be interesting. An adventure thriller with a father and son as main characters. I hope to enjoy the reading. Congrats to the author on #BOTD

Dr. Peter Barnes, a distinguished Scientist was tricked and taken away to a remote place by two deceptive men for the purpose of Science Research work. Both father and son hope to reconnect some day.

In "Bear Company (Dark Corps) (Volume 1)" by Cameron Alexander, Timothy Barnes realized who his friends were as he became overly concerned about his Dad who took forever to get home from his Science Project.

Oh, I loved this book from the beginning. And who wouldn't love bears helping you out with a secret mission? The more I read the more I was sucked in and can't wait to find out the ending. I also loved that this is a series because when you find a book you love there is nothing better than to know there is more!

I initially didn’t think this would be a book I would be interested in, but after reading this review and a little bit of the book, I love it! I look forward to reading the rest of it. Thanks for the great review

Thanks for the interesting review of this book. When I first saw the cover of this book I thought that it was going to be a violent story, but once I saw the age range and read the blurb I changed my mind. This book actually sounds like something that I'll enjoy reading. Honestly, after I actually took a hard look at the cover I found it cute and I was eager to read.

Seems like quite elaborate and exciting story for kids, but unfortunately my children are way to old for it. I will have to skip, but good luck with BOTS!

Fear, one of the greatest enemy of success. I love the the fact that courage is built along with experience. Good review.
