Book description
Overlord is reborn, and has developed the chilling ability to move from
body to body, erasing the host's personality and ultimately killing
them, forcing him to hop from victim to victim. He must find Otto, the
only host designed to contain him, and for that he needs the location of
H. I.V. E. He also plans to take control of a secret US Army facility
that is home to the Autonomous Weapon Programme, a computer-controlled
system uniquely vulnerable to his control.
Nero is forced to activate Zero Hour, a plan designed to deal with any
member of G. L.O. V.E. on the brink of true global domination. Nero also
knows that Otto must not be allowed to fall into Overlord's hands, and a
desperate race across the globe begins. The stage is set for a final
battle with Overlord. Little do they know that he has a final weapon in
his arsenal, on a scale unlike anything they have ever seen before.
Mark Walden's first book, H. I.V. E.,
won Richard and Judy's 'Best Kids' Books Ever' 9+ category. Paramount
has optioned the film rights, and it was chosen as one of ten titles for
Booktrust's first Booked Up scheme. Mark has followed this success with
five further titles in the extraordinarily brilliant H. I.V. E.
series and as a WBD author for 2009. He lives with his family in
Hampshire.
