A real page turner, the fourth title in the gripping, fast-paced HIVE series moves effortless across time and space. The HIVE students are off on a deadly training mission in the Artic. Known as the ninety-three-percenter because of the number of students likely not to get back from it, the students know they are in for a tough time. But for the students the problems are even greater than expected when they find themselves hunted down by one of the most dangerous men alive. Dramatically twisting and turning, the plot keeps readers guessing right up to the end.
Otto is on the run from US security forces - the least of his problems in a desperate race to rescue his kidnapped friends and thwart a supremely dangerous renegade faction of the world's most powerful villains
