[I] had to read it in one afternoon because I had a serious case of can’t-put-it-down . . . Just as thrilling a book as all the ones before it.

Veritably perfect for any young space-lover . . . I can only imagine how enthralling it must seem for the young space enthusiasts.

George and his best friend Annie haven't had any space adventures for a while and they're missing the excitement. But not for long . . . 
 
Seriously strange things start happening. Banks are handing out free money; supermarkets can’t charge for their produce so people are getting free food; and aircraft are refusing to fly. It looks like the world's biggest and best computers have all been hacked. 
 
George and Annie will travel further into space than ever before in order to find out who is behind it.

George and his friend Annie now face a whole new space challenge! From Lucy Hawking and her father, Professor Stephen Hawking.
