Summary

Humour and high adventure combine in the biggest action debut in years -- even if its characters are very small.

Infinity Drake -- aka Finn (at least his mum stopped him being christened e=mc2) -- is looking forward to a week away with his mad scientist uncle when they are summoned to a crisis meeting. A lethal bio-weapon has been released by a pitiless villain, with incalculable consequences for mankind... UNLESS Al can shrink a military team to hunt down the beast.

No one reckons on Finn getting dragged along - but then disaster strikes. Shrunk to 9mm tall, Finn has to jump in a tiny apache helicopter with two soldiers and a crack female pilot in a race to avert disaster and destroy the Scarlatti - the uber-wasp killing machine that's out there, very angry, and many times their size...

(And if you think that's trouble, just wait till Grandma finds out.)
