Strange Hiding Place
An adopted 11-year-old boy and girl and a Jack Russell dog are the unwitting carriers of the code to end a war between two alien groups, which could easily bring about the destruction of a planet. Whilst the two factions struggle to gain access to the DNA of this unfortunate trio, they are subject to terrible dangers and barely escape fatality innumerable times. It’s very exciting stuff!
This is a compilation of three earlier (1995) sci-fi publications. It is full of ingenious gizmos and ideas, sparkles with thrilling action and good humour and it fair whizzes along. I read it in a sitting. Boys are the most likely target group but that’s not an exclusive recommendation by any means.
