'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 program.
Julio Cortez is a legend among his friends in the Net Force Explorers for his feats of derring-do in virtual flight simulators, but now he's in a real life or death dogfight - and only the Explorers can save him. Seized by the government of the South American Island of Cordeguay, where his father is a human rights activist, Julio is being held in a virtual prison. To get him out, the Explorers are going to have to break down the barrier between the real world and the virtual reality - with potentially terrifying consequences.
