Teenager Porter Simms lives with surrogate parents and only a distant memory of his real ones: a car in the snow, a set of electrodes on his forehead, playing chess with his dad on an iPad – and then the accident. When a friend of his parents locates him, Porter is persuaded to try this experimental technology again – only now it has evolved to give him abilities that most people could only dream of. And this time it’s a game with global stakes. Now Porter is able to ‘channel’ data wirelessly to his brain – a.k.a. his ‘domain’: from martial artist to concert pianist, free climber to linguist, a menu of abilities at the blink of an eye. But there’s a major catch: he is permanently online, a device of the government, and every time he uses the skills, he loses a part of himself. To make matters worse, an unseen enemy wants him taken offline – permanently.

Porter must race to prevent a deadly catastrophe before he loses the most important thing – himself.

A new edge-of-your-seat adventure for fans of Anthony Horowitz and Eoin Colfer.
