Amy and Dan have been waylaid at the airport en route to Japan. Instead of boarding the plane, they're taken to a room for a random search.
Meanwhile, Natalie and Ian Kabra board the plane in their place. Nellie, their au pair, has already boarded. Unsure of the next step, Amy and Dan leave the airport and find a car waiting for them. Uncle Alistair wants to work with them again, but can they trust him?
Together they head to Japan using Uncle Alistair's private jet. When they arrive in Japan, they meet up with Nellie and the Kabras. In order to find the clues, Amy and Dan know they have to compromise and make alliances, but they do not know who to trust.
Are their lives once again in danger while searching for the next clue?
THE SWORD THIEF is the third book in THE 39 CLUES series (each written by a different author - so far). I'm addicted to this series, and while a different person pens each book, they each contain so much action that it's almost impossible to differentiate between the writers.
This series has a fabulous online component, too, that you must check out if you haven't yet.

In the Sword Thief, Amy and Dan team up with a few of their Cahill relatives to find the third clue, hidden long ago by a Japanese warrior.
As usual, the third book of the thirty-clues delivers almost non-stop action and a few interesting historical bits. However, as is also usual with this series, it feels just like the rest of the books, though some new character development does help that.
All in all a quick, fun read, entertaining but not memorable.
