About the author

After three years, it is finally time to lift the lid on the secret identity of the Zac Power series’ best-selling author, H.I. Larry.

Zac Power’s world of adventure and espionage has been immensely successful, with around fifty exciting stories published and over a million copies sold in Australia alone. The ‘H.I. Larry’ pseudonym was used to keep the series consistent (and boringly, ensure that all Zac Power books are catalogued and shelved together!), and readers have long been intrigued by Larry’s secret identity.

The voracious reader demand for more Zac stories required a large writing team comprised of several brilliant Australian authors – many of whom have gone on to create their own fiction. Because of the success of the Zac Power series, and these authors’ rising profiles, Chris Morphew, Hilary Badger and Meredith Badger are now available to speak about their work on the Zac Power series.

Reviews

[Amy]

Genre: Modern day fantasy, young readers 8+
Fast paced story that is full of excitement, adventure, and cool gadgets. Young readers will enjoy the tale of a young spy and his grown up style missions.

[Padawan Orion]

I read this book myself.
Eight years old.

[Scott]

Better than the first but still a few plot holes. Why did he need the Protector Projector? Why not just watch everyone while people sang?
And why must each mission need 24 hours?

[Kylie Abecca]

Definitely a great book for youngsters. Bringing electronic gaming into a book for children is certainly a great way to get them interested in reading.

Perus-Power, jossa pitää pelastaa maailma, tällä kertaa inhottavalta ja ahneelta pelialan mogulilta.
