Synopses & Reviews
Boy-genius Cadel Piggot has a new life. No more illegal hacking, no more false identities, and no more Prosper English. In fact, he even has a new family, and a new name--Cadel Greenaius. But when his best friend Sonja is attacked, he must figure out how the attack was executed, and who was behind it, a task that sends him barrelling back into the depths of the criminal activity he'd left behind, across oceans and continents, and straight into the life of Prosper English. With all of the high-tech hijinks and fast paced action that made the first two books a huge success, GENIUS WARS is sure to please both fans of the series and new readers alike.

"Jinks is an entertaining writer. . . . Her imaginative use of technology . . . creates some truly tense moments, and Cadel is Everyman enough for readers to root for in the thick of things. Fans of the trilogy will delight in this concluding volume, and it will also appeal to gadget-crazy boys—and girls—who enjoyed Alex Riders adventures."—Booklist
