Frank and Joe try to find out who is trying to sabotage both the owner of an animal/amusement park and the owner of a blimp manufacturing company. Mr. Hardy tracks down a gang of terrorists. There really wasn't much to this book. The plot was boring and unoriginal. The action was almost impossible to find and the story dragged on throughout most of the book. The only good thing that I could say about this book was that the Hardys stayed in Bayport for a change and all of their friends were included in the book. In my opinion, this is probably the 4th or 5th worst book of the hardcover editions. Only buy this one if you want to complete your set.

One blast of a mystery! I can't beleive that other reveiwers don't like this book at all!(maybe they're mystery haters...no offense.) The Sorpion Sting is about when the Hardy Boys find the Safari Queen drop two things out of the sky. A small object that exploded, and a elephent that also explodes. The Hardys go an investigate and can't because of the gaurd's orders not to let them in. The Hardy Boys later find themselves scrambling in another mystery. The rest I have no time to tell because I going to Sandiego to compete in a Teakwondo(karate)tournament in an hour. Make sure you this book carefully.(if you haven't)

The Sting of the Scorpion by Franklin W. Dixon is a great example of a Hardy Boy book. It is about a new dirigible that is being sabotaged. Also an animal park owner is being pressured to sell out. Can the Hardy boys stop the evil Scorpio gang in time? Franklin W. Dixon writes nothing but mystery stories. People who like suspence would love this book. I give this book 5 stars.

A disappointingly thin 'biography' that uses previously available information as its source material. To be fair, the book states that Sting was loathe to become involved and that consequently the content is based on previously published interview material, but several of Danny Quatrochi's candid pictures are included. Keen fans are unlikely to learn anything new from this book which covers the period up until Sting's first 'proper' solo shows at the Ritz in New York.
