Peel does it again!

John Peel is one of the best authors i know, and i tend to be picky about books. You can hardly put them down, and they keep you guessing. He has some character backgrounds without making it boring. The character's personalities are very distinguished, and he has a great way of discribing things. in 2099, the whole planet is almost completly run by machines. Devon (who is NOT tristans clone! Tristan is Devons clone. Devon was born first.) is set out making a virus to have complete world domination. It's devons game, and tristan is just another obstacle in his way. Genia, is the 16 year old girl who just happens to get caught in the crossfire. An exellent hacker, raised in the underworld, she manages to a vital key in devon's game. Inspector Shimada ( i think...) is the officer on the case, and is determined to track him down. Tristan is one of the accused, and is a prime suspect to Inspector Shimada, and becomes a flaw in Devons grand sheme. Now devon's out to destroy tristan, as well as the rest of humanity. (i hope i didn't give too much away...) Doomsday and the rest of the series are nothing short of exellent! JOHN PEEL RULES!

This is one of the best books I've ever read!

This is an excellent book! It's about a kid named Tristan who has to fight for his life from a super hacker. You never want to put this book down. It's the first of 6 in an excellent series. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Doomsday is coming...

John Peel has created a unique and wonderfully written series for teenagers that,sadly, is not longer then six books. But while the 2099 books did not go longer then 6 books, it is one of the best series you can find for the average 9-14 reader. Tristan, an ordinary teenager, is in danger he doesn't even know about. He accesses a file he shouldn't have, and because of his mistake, the world is in unspeakable danger. His evil and devious clone,Devon,is set to destroy everything he's ever known. Tristan has to stop the catastrophe, for the future lies in the hands of his own knowledge. Until it comes to a shattering end...
