The thrilling H.I.V.E series is back and villainy is thriving! Otto and his elite gang in the Alpha stream are off on another terrifying mission. Their destination is Siberia and the exercise is their most dangerous yet. But as the mission unfolds, it soon becomes clear that there is an even greater danger from within their own midst. Can H.I.V.E deal with a traitor? Time is short in this thrilling adventure.
Scheming, extorting, menacing and general evilness are nothing new in the world of villainy - indeed it's expected. But there are codes of conduct. Until now. In an attempt to purge the Global League of Villainous Enterprises of its more destructive elements, Dr Nero has underestimated the cunning and resources of those who oppose him. Meanwhile, Otto and the rest of the Alpha stream have been sent to begin their most feared exercise: The Hunt, in the icy wastes of Siberia. But there is a traitor in their midst. The first strike against Nero will be a strike against the Alpha stream. Villain-kind is on the brink of CIVIL WAR.
