Deadfall
Twelve-year-old Ty Monterey is no hero – or so he thinks. He’s obsessed with computers, often in trouble at school and rude to his mother. Worst of all, he has a distinctly wimpish stutter.
One day a mysterious, coded e-mail arrives in his inbox and, Ty being Ty, he sets about decoding it. At first he is excited by what he discovers, but when he is menaced by a knife-wielding thug in his own garden he realises things have become serious.
Ty finds he has stumbled across a plot to launch the worst terrorist attack the world has known, with thousands of lives at risk on the London Underground.
Dismissed at every turn by the authorities, it soon becomes clear to Ty that only he and his gang, the Cyberhawks, can prevent the devastating attack planned by the group known as “Storm Troopers TZ9”.
Stand by for Operation Deadfall...

A good action read for children
Okay it's a bit basic but youngsters that love reading, computers, spies and action will love this read. It a ptarmigan of terrorists trying to upload a virus onto the underground system to cause a horrific crash. Our young hero gets an email in code sent to him by mistake. Even when he breaks the code no-one would believe him. Not even though he has results of a recent beating his face. Now with two friends he proposes to do what the adults won't. Stop the attack! Can he and his friends find the terrorists and thwart the attack?
