Now held captive by a vindicitive pirate crew, Leo is forced to assist them in stealing a priceless piece of technology unlike anything the world has ever seen before. He could try to run, but as he spirals deeper into a world of madness and betrayal, he begins to realize that there is more at stake than just his life.

Running from a past filled with nightmares she can't let herself remember, she is quickly swept up into a life of espionage and adventure. The past doesn't always stay buried though.

UNDERCOVER - WHITE OUT (book 2) by ziffdion

Oppy, the Artificially Intelligent computer at Silverwood School, may have invented time travel but Dr Lee Zhang claims it is merely Virtual Reality. While Time Agent Triple Oh, is trying to arrest him for illegal time travel, Murga has stolen Strontium-90 for a radio-active contamination bomb. Murga's third attempt to kidnap me gets as far as Hong Kong but fails when my break-dancing, Canada goose, uncle Dunc, shows up with Triple Oh. Dunc explains that Murga is trying to kidnap me so he can learn the secret of my ability to distort gravity. Miguel and I are sailing ice yachts when Murga tries to kidnap me yet again and I discover that I can control gravity. Beryl (the beaver terminator) persuades Murga's ambivalent archivist sidekick, Kozak, to confess. When he admits Murga is holding Mom and Dad captive, we follow Murga hoping to rescue them and recover the stolen strontium. Readers comments:- 'This book is full of humour and imagination, it is a good read - stick with it.' 'So, so good, the humour is great! The smoke trailing out of the bag, lovely detail - the story gets better and better.' 'Brilliant! You are a very good story teller, I love the breadth of the writing, smells, virtual reality plausibility and the detail - 'poured himself tea from a vacuum flask.' I was there with them'.
