Having successfully foiled a Nazi plot to kidnap one of the British Royal Family, brothers Jack and George are on the move again-this time to England. They also attract the attention of a very sinister character, someone who is determined to use George and Jack's knowledge against the Allies, no matter the consequences. Is the police chief keeping tabs on people for enemy purposes? Is Jack's boss at the newspaper really amassing information for sinister reasons? Unable to resist the camp's allure, the boys keep going back to find out more details of what's going on-they even meet William Stephenson, the Man Called Intrepid himself. One afternoon, the boys stumble across Canada's top-secret spy camp-and so begins an exciting and terrifying adventure as George and Jack get caught up in the covert activities of Camp X.įascinated by Camp X and its secrets, the boys begin to suspect local townspeople of being spies. Note: Opinions expressed in reviews and articles on this site are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of BookLoons.It's 1943, and nearly-12-year-old George and his older brother Jack are spending a restless wartime summer in Whitby, Ontario, where their mom is working at a munitions plant while their dad is off fighting the Germans. I'm very much looking forward to finding out! As this episode ends, five years after they left the planet, Billy leads a group back to the surface, not knowing what to expect there. One major disappointment for Billy is that they have had no contact with wealthy Joshua Fitchett, who masterminded their escape from Earth, and remained behind with another group hoping to survive below the surface. Above, there are unexpected problems to deal with, betrayals and losses, but there is hope too as the planet warms again faster than anticipated. Walters gives a very credible portrayal of the challenges faced by a group of young geniuses, in crowded conditions, watching the eradication of civilization and most of humanity below them on Earth as life steadily blinks out on its surface. There's a big surprise for them on arrival at the space station, which significantly changes the leadership dynamics. Regenesis shows the challenges they face there, under the leadership of our hero, teen Billy, ' the ultimate generalist'. In Walters' version, one hundred children were selected and trained to leave Earth and wait out the catastrophe in orbit. Eric Walters' Regenesis is the sequel to his dystopian End of Days, which looked at what might happen if authorities become aware of a huge asteroid heading straight at Earth.
