Cadel Piggott is genius with a knack for systems. He can do just about anything: disable home security systems, hack into government databases and commit credit card fraud. When Cadel gets introduced to a group of genetically enhanced misfits who are determined to take over the world, he finds himself in a world of trouble. Cadel must determine which path he'll choose, how to protect his threatened nearest and dearest, and how to fight genius with genius.

With engrossing plots that twist and turn, these highly-awarded, high-tech thrillers are filled with darkness and humour, freaks, geeks and super-villains.
