'Net Force Explorers' is a brilliant high-tech adventure series created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik.
In the year 2025 the Internet practically runs the world, and its virtual reality webwork has to be policed by Net Force to prevent terrorists from sabotaging it. But sometimes they need help. Which is where the Net Force Explorers come in, the young people's auxiliary for computer whiz-kids who have made it through a tough training programme.
But when Explorers Matt Hunter and his three high-school friends witness a bizarre shoot-out at a virtual-reality baseball game, they realize they've stumbled onto a plot as deadly as it is bewildering. And soon they're on the trail of a ruthless gang determined to pull off a heist so daring it's unreal . . .
