Dangerous Reality

Another fast-moving computer-based adventure from this highly regarded writer. All seems to be going well for Dominic. His mum is gaining fame as the inventor of VIMS – the Virtual Interactive Mobile System – a sort of robot that can boldly go where no humans would, could or should to disarm car bombs, detect land mines or go down pipes to search out blockages. Best of all Mum is about to marry Jack whom Dominic sees as the ideal stepdad. Then things take a turn for the worse as VIMS goes haywire on an important test. Sabotage from within the team is suspected and Dominic decides to get involved. A surprise ending introduces some ideas to think about in an otherwise straight forward tale and Dominic learns some important things about love and friendship.
