Some people will do anything for power—and Jimmy will do anything to stop them

Jimmy is ready to tell the world the truth—about the government, his role in the bombing, and his own genetic alteration. But it may be too much knowledge for people to handle.

Still, his country is under attack, his body is poisoned, and time is running out. Jimmy needs to fight back with all the assassin skills he has without becoming the killer he was trained to be. With the clock ticking, he discovers that some people will do anything for power. And to stop them, he will have to use some power of his own—even if it turns him into a killer once and for all.

Giới thiệu tác giả

Joe Craig is an award-winning novelist, songwriter, screenwriter, and performer. Since studying philosophy at the University of Cambridge, he has also been a comic, a public-speaking and conversation coach, and a semipro cricketer. Since the first book in his bestselling Jimmy Coates series was published in 2005, the series has won over young fans across the world and converted thousands of previously reluctant readers with an electric mix of action, suspense, and thrilling twists. The Times of London calls Craig “one of the best spy kids authors . . . outstanding at both writing and plotting.” Craig’s work has earned him a place alongside Anthony Horowitz, Charlie Higson, and Robert Muchamore. 

Craig tours the world entertaining packed houses at festivals, bookshops, libraries, and schools with The Joe Craig Show. His tall tales, improvised stories, and surprising theories about writing have enthralled audiences every bit as much as his books. In spare moments he eats sushi, plays the piano, watches movies, reads, draws, plays snooker and cricket, invents snacks, cooks, does martial arts training, and sleeps.

Craig lives in London with his wife, broadcaster and adventurer Mary-Ann Ochota; his dog, Harpo the labradonkey; and his dwarf crocodile, Professor Sven. He keeps in touch with his readers through his website, www.joecraig.co.uk, and he is @joecraiguk on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
