A lot has changed for Cadel Piggott recently. Everything he thought he knew about his life has been blown to bits. In some cases, literally. He still has a genius IQ and a fascination with systems of all kinds, but heโs no longer in cahoots with Dr. Darkkon, the most powerful criminal mastermind in the world, and heโs no longer the star pupil at the Axis Institute for World Domination. In fact, now heโs in foster care, awaiting the trial at which heโll have to testify against evil genius Prosper English, a man who was once believed to be Cadelโs father.
With round-the-clock surveillanceโintended to keep him safe until he can testifyโand no computer to call his own, Cadel really doesnโt have much of a life
at all.
So when a group called Genius Squad approaches him to join a secret investigation into GenoME, Dr. Darkkonโs pet project, Cadel canโt say no, even though he suspects Genius Squad is not quite what it seemsโand even though heโs sure they wonโt be able to protect him if Prosper English makes a jailbreak.
