The Hardy Boys Books : The Secret Warning (Hardy Boys, Book 17) Reviews
| 4 of 6 people found the following review helpful  Secret Warning?, By This review is from: The Secret Warning (The Hardy Boys, No. 17) (Hardcover) Just like the last Hardy Boys book, "A Figure in Hiding," this book is somewhat less thrilling than the others. This time the Hardys are seeking the golden head of Pharaoh Rhamaton IV, which was supposedly on board a sunken freighter, the Katawa. The Hardy Boys journey to nearby Whalebone Island where they receive the "secret warning." However, secret warning seems to be an oxymoron as the warning is received from a lighthouse.

Whether people are posting reviews for the wrong edition, or Amazon is combining them for some reason I'm not sure, but it really isn't fair for the score to be so low. The 1966 edition was revised significantly and is a different & much better book than the 1938.Most of the criticisms surrounding the 1938 edition have been "fixed' so to speak in this newer 1966 version.
