A new action-packed adventure series for young fans of Alex Rider and
Jason Bourne--with the first four books publishing simultaneously. Binge
read for summer!
Picking up where the electrifying third Bodyguard installment, Hijack,
left off, young bodyguard Connor Reeves and the the twin daughters of an
Australian media-mogul he is tasked to protect are under attack--and the
odds are far from even. In the middle of the ocean somewhere off the
coast of Somalia, a group of merciless pirates, wielding enormous
firepower, hijack the twins' yacht and incapacitate the ship's adult
crewmembers.
Yet the pirates are out for money rather than blood, and seeing a golden
opportunity, they demand a multi-million-dollar ransom in exchange for
returning the twins to safety. But there's a flaw in their plan. They
didn't count on Connor being aboard.
Combining pulse-pounding action, diabolical enemies, and an insider's
knowledge of the tricks of the trade, the BODYGUARD series is the
perfect target for fans of Alex Rider, James Bond, 24, and Jason
Bourne.
