I review the seventeenth Hardy Boys book in both text forms, THE SECRET WARNING. This was the first original text not to be written by Leslie MacFarlane and marks the beginning of the John Button era. Long derided by fans, these books are generally regarded as the lowest point of the original texts as they show the most severe tonal shifts from the rest of the series. The quality of the plots are also a bit odd as they meander and suddenly have incredibly over the top moments. The revised texts for the Button books are all significant improvements but lack the wild spark of the original texts.
