In hiding from his evil mastermind father, fifteen-year-old Cadel (Evil Genius) is placed in a home that's actually a cover for an elite group of hackers; what follows is a keyed-up cat-and-mouse game. Jinks writes hacker lingo accessible to non-techies, imparting the edgy thrill of computer espionage. This installment roars to a finish, then circles back to establish Cadel's next challenge.
