From astronaut Tim Peake and bestselling author Steve Cole: exciting action-adventure rooted in cutting-edge space-age science and technology.

When Danny is kidnapped by Adi — who can run through brick walls and make cars drive on water — he realizes that all humans are in danger. Adi is part of a super-advanced hive mind, the Swarm, which intends to protect the Earth from the environmental catastrophe caused by the human race.

Adi — Alien Digital Intelligence in the form of a girl — can bend the laws of physics and control digital data, but as a digital being she wants to know what it's like to be human. Which is where Danny comes in.

But what exactly is the "help" the secretive Swarm is offering? Can Danny and his friend Jamila help Adi stop the Swarm Agents and give humanity a second chance?

Perfect for fans of Alex Rider, Young Bond and Cherub, this fast-paced action-adventure is the second thrilling story from astronaut Tim Peake and bestselling author Steve Cole. The alien Swarm is rising once more...

When Danny’s best friend Jamila goes missing, and no one remembers she exists, Danny knows the alien Swarm are back. They’ve tracked the digital energy signals Jamila has been giving off, and want to delete her. But it’s not just the Swarm who are after Jamila. Her super-powered DNA can be used to clone super-strong beings, and human scientists and aliens know this. Danny needs to find her – and a new version of Adi, the friendly Swarm scout – and together they must stop both humans and aliens from destroying the human race.
