Publisher Description
“There’s something in that sound. Something bad. Something dangerous.”
Fifteen-year-old Ani Lee is a skilled hacker researching a strange .wav file that she’s downloaded when it behaves as no file ever should.
Joe Dyson is a seventeen-year-old American transplant recruited into a secret teen division of the British intelligence service who’s looking into the disappearance of a friend caught up in an underground music scene that might be more than it appears.
When Ani and Joe’s investigations intertwine, they discover that the .wav file and the music are linked—someone’s embedding the file into tracks to create a mind-controlled teen army.
But who’s behind it? And why? And how do you stop a sound?
An exhilarating sci-fi techno-thriller that blends music, mind control, and conspiracy perfect for fans of Little Brother, Brain Jack, and Proxy.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Two teenagers one an amateur hacker, the other a member of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service become embroiled in a world of underground music and encrypted files. Ani Lee, 15, has more friends online in the hacking community than in real life, where her family is disintegrating. When one of her best friends tells her about a strange digital audio file and then disappears, Ani doesn't grasp the file's importance until armed men come after her. She escapes and runs into 17-year-old Joe Dyson, an American transplant in London, who is reeling from the death of a friend during a mission. A member of an elite and secret teen intelligence force, Joe has been implanted with a chip that allows him, among other things, to control the pheromones of those around him, a perfect way for him to influence people and for Lancaster (The Future We Left Behind) to subtly steer this coming-of-age adventure. Believably written characters and a quick-moving plot distinguish this compelling thriller with an SF twist. Ages 14 up.
