Attempting to avoid the violence and drugs at Hibernia High, sixteen-year-old Tristen McCoy and his friends have transferred on a sports scholarship to the elite Curtis Hall boarding school. Hometown lacrosse heroes, the boys are tested as they attempt to assimilate into a student body where excelling is the norm.

Tristen hones his leadership skills and sense of humor while finding his way in this new environment. He and his friends must rise to the challenge of competing with peers whose skills equal and perhaps surpass their own. Tristen's attention is soon captured by the beautiful and alluring Marcella Venier. Despite their different origins and upbringings, the two are drawn to each other. Marcella, compelled to live a clandestine life with dark secrets and a covert research mission, struggles with her desire to further her own designs and still remain in Tristen's world.

Events spiral out of control, and a student is lost in the subterranean tunnels beneath the school's campus. Tristen and his friends stand accused of foul play, and in an effort to make things right, he enlists Marcella's help in organizing a search party. During the perilous rescue attempt, danger threatens to not only sever the bonds of friendship of the group, but take their lives as well. They hope they can survive until graduation.

Everyone knows that Hank Whitestone is a genius, but nobody knows the real story of what he invented and what happened as a result. But, for readers in years to come, when the story finally comes out, here is the true story of how Hank came up with his theory of gravity, and invented the Grav Buster, and how everyone built the spaceship Pegasus, and how the whole family traveled into space, and what happened up there. Of course, it wasn't that easy and a couple of times it was down-right scary--when we had to steal the nukes, for example--and the whole thing had to be done in secret, in case JJ figured out what we were doing and took Pegasus away from us. Anyway, if you have authorized access to "Hank's Idea" you can read this stuff now, provided, of course, that you don't breathe a word to anyone. Just to be on the safe side, please eat this book when you've finished it, in case it falls into the wrong hands.
