When an archaeologist who guards the priceless 1,000-year-old
treasures of the temple of Angor Wat goes missing, her daughter
Kate calls on Jack to help bring her home. No sweat for a top
secret agent. Except this time it's personal. The archaeologist
also has information leading to the whereabouts of Jack's missing
brother. Now Jack must stop a power-hungry madman before the
treasure, and the archaeologist, disappear forever.
Deep inside China's famous Wolong Nature Reserve, an endangered
Giant Panda named Ling has disappeared, and for his seventh
mission, Jack is paired with a surly, sixteen-year-old park
assistant named Fong to help track the panda down. As a member of
the evil Scorpion Gang, Fong and a partner Wong have been posing as
assistants to steal Ling, and several other rare creatures from the
reserve to sell on the black market. Now Jack must infiltrate the
ruthless gang's Beijing headquarters, overrun with menacing teenage
thieves, and rescue Ling and the other animals before they, and
maybe Jack, disappear forever.
In "The Caper of the Crown Jewels," Jack is summoned to solve a
matter of grave national importance: the theft of the Crown Jewels
of the British Empire from the Tower of London. Arriving on the
scene, he is greeted by a traditional Tower guard- a Yeoman Warder
(or Beefeater)- who explains what's missing: The Imperial State
Crown, the Sovereign's Orb, and the Sovereign's Scepter with the
cross containing the finest-cut diamond in the world, the Star of
Africa. Jack identifies Ivan the Incredible and his assistant,
Jazz, as the thieves immediately--but puzzling out "how" they did
it is stickier. The famous Tower has the most advanced security in
the world, and even using his impressive gadgets (the Encryption
notebook, Heli-Spacer, Rock Corer, and Rope Tornado) Jack is
flummoxed by how the jewels were spirited out. However, Jack can
conjure up more than gadgets--he foils the evil magicians with some
powerful mojo of his own, dispels an invisibility enchantment, and
narrowly avoids the executioner's block before restoring the jewels
to the crown and earning the gratitude of the Queen herself
In one of his most daring exploits, Jack goes down under --
literally -- to investigate the disappearance of a diver off the
Great Barrier Reef of Australia. Using everything in his backpack
arsenal from anti-puke pills to a morphing suit, an egg-shaped
submarine to Disappearing Milk, he exposes a deadly nest of pirates
raiding a shipwreck site. Jack has to thwart their schemes, evade
their attempts on his life, and escape the primordial hunger of
three deadly species: a Komodo dragon, a set of sharks, and the
most poisonous predators in the reef, the Irukandji jellyfish. Can
he save the treasure and the diver, not to mention himself? Canny
and resourceful, Jack will delight readers and impress their
parents.
