The digital apocalypse has arrived and the future is here in this addictive technological thriller full of twists and turns. Perfect for fans of Nerve! Being recruited by the CIA to join a top-secret intelligence program should be the opportunity of a lifetime. For Issa, it's a shot at creating a new and better life for herself and her siblings. For clever con artist Harper, it's a chance to bury the secrets of her troubled past and make sure that those secrets stay buried. But for Owen--honor student, star quarterback, and computer-hacking genius--it sounds like a trap. He's right. Owen discovers that instead of auditioning for the CIA, they've all been tricked by a multibillion-dollar tech company into creating the ultimate computer virus. It's called Phantom Wheel, and it's capable of hacking anyone on Earth, anywhere, at any time. And thanks to six teenagers, it's virtually unstoppable. Horrified by what they've done, the hackers must team up to stop the virus before the world descends into chaos. But working together is easier said than done, especially as the lines start to blur between teammate, friend, and more than friend. Because how do you learn to trust someone when you've spent your entire life exploiting that same trust in others?

« Si un truc est trop beau pour être vrai, c’est probablement le cas. » Lorsque six jeunes hackers sont invités par la CIA à passer un test d’aptitude, avec à la clé une bourse d’études et une promesse d’emploi, cinq d’entre eux acceptent de participer. Après tout, pour certains, c’est un ticket en or pour un avenir meilleur. Seul Owen refuse. Un simple coup d’œil à l’énoncé de l’exercice lui a suffi pour comprendre que quelque chose clochait. Des recherches plus poussées viennent confirmer ses soupçons. En se faisant passer pour la CIA, la société Jacento – leader sur le marché des télécommunications – cherche à exploiter les compétences en informatique des six adolescents dans le but de créer Phantom Wheel, la Roue Fantôme, un virus destructeur qui permettrait à l’entreprise d’accéder aux données personnelles des internautes du monde entier. Conscients de ce que cela signifie – une surveillance maximale, des libertés bafouées –, Issa, Ezra, Owen, Alika, Seth et Harper vont tenter d’arrêter Jacento par la force – en informatique comme dans la vraie vie.

“A cracking read” on the twin-engined supersonic long-range fighter bomber from the bestselling author of the Hunter Boys and Lightning Boys volumes (Britain at War). Originally developed for the US Navy, the McDonnell Douglas F-4 fighter-bomber first flew in the spring of 1958. It then entered service for the US Navy in 1961, and in 1969 with the Fleet Air Arm and RAF in the UK. Regarded as one of the most versatile fighters ever built, the Phantom F-4 was the US Navy’s fastest and highest-flying aircraft. It was flown by both US military demonstration teams (Navy Blue Angels and the Air Force Thundercats) from 1969 to 1973. It ended its service in 1991 with the RAF. But it continues to serve a variety of air forces across the world, with some still in service fifty years after its first flight. Throughout the twenty chapters of this book, thirteen contributors will take readers across the world with adventures in the Falkland Islands, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, the Far East and Germany. There are anecdotes of reconnaissance missions, encounters with the Russian Tupolevs, record-breaking flights and life on HMS Ark Royal. The scope, flair and pace of the writing in this book will appeal to the general reader as well as to the enthusiast.
