Dot Robot: Atomic Swarm

Jason Bradbury is the UK's best-known face of technology and host of Five's The Gadget Show. Jason is a regular tech contributor to Radio Two and Radio Five Live and is a voracious blogger - he was the voice and face of The Metro-Ask.com's Best of British Blog Awards.

Twelve year-old Jackson Farley is a digital genius. On a robotics scholarship at a high-tech American university, he's having the time of his life - but then an explosion at the nuclear reactor on campus changes everything. Jackson and his fellow gamers are highly suspicious - the attack bears the hallmark of maniacal dot.com billionaire Devlin Lear and his rogue robots. And it appears to be part of a terrifying multimillion-dollar master plan. 
 
But Jackson can't believe Lear is behind the sinister dealings. Devlin Lear is dead. Isn't he?

'Congratulations, Jackson. Welcome to MeX.' 
 
Dot.com billionaire Devlin Lear, founder of the top-secret defence force MeX, has been watching Jackson Farley. He knows he has found a digital genius. 
 
Along with three other brilliant gamers from different corners of the world, Lear needs Jackson to join him and stop the criminal heist of the century. And all by the power of the most highly advanced, state-of-the-art robots ever invented. 
 
Are Jackson and the MeX recruits as good as Lear thinks? And how does Jackson know quite who to trust when they can never meet face-to-face?

Set against the glittering neon backdrop of Tokyo and in the dark and eerie forests of the Sea of Trees, digital genius Jackson and robotics expert Brooke English are hot on the trail of their missing friends, Japan's most famous professional gamers, the Kojima Twins. The twins have joined hundreds of kidnapped gamers as part of a secret Gold Farming ring, forced to play for virtual items such as spells and weapons, sold for huge profits. 
 
Jackson and Brooke must find their friends and fast. But when the world they've been kidnapped into isn't real, where do they even begin?
