He felt as if everything about it was familiar, the deafening noise, the pain, the darkness of the tunnel, the terror on the Professor's face as it hurtled towards him. As if he had always known this moment would come, as if he had lived it before. They were only metres apart now. Nothing could stop what was about to happen. Will closed his eyes. For over a year, Will Buster has known that he carries the last remaining design for Professor Gelmet's helmet within his brain. Supposedly he's safe, with two agents to protect him and the Professor locked away in prison. But Will knows the Professor will never give up. If he escaped, it would all begin again – and this time the fight would be to the end. The conclusion to the Will Buster trilogy takes readers on an action-packed ride with a twist around every corner.

A year has passed since Will Buster came back from the Gelmet Academy, where he uncovered Professor Gelmet's secret experiment in mind control. Each day he takes his old, battered HoverPod to school, loses interest in the lessons in the LearningHall and plays games of Pointy Wibblers with his friend Myron Dort. Life's back to normal. Almost boringly normal. . . Except for the tricks Will's eyes have started playing with him. Sudden flashes, shimmering lines. Then Myron vanishes, and Will finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into the mystery of his disappearance. Or is it a trap? Perhaps Professor Gelmet's experiment isn't over after all. But is it the Professor, or somebody else, who wants to catch him in their web?

The Blackwell History of the World Series The goal of this ambitious series is to provide an accessible source of knowledge about the entire human past, for every curious person in every part of the world. It will comprise some two dozen volumes, of which some provide synoptic views of the history of particular regions while others consider the world as a whole during a particular period of time. The volumes are narrative in form, giving balanced attention to social and cultural history (in the broadest sense) as well as to institutional development and political change. Each provides a systematic account of a very large subject, but they are also both imaginative and interpretative. The Series is intended to be accessible to the widest possible readership, and the accessibility of its volumes is matched by the style of presentation and production.

Victoria has spent all of her sixteen years in a secluded palace on Ben Nevis Island under the protection of King Henry, one of the three original robots programmed by the ancient ancestors to rule the flooded planet Earth. She’s safe there, but her family and their intelligent clockwork servants treat her like the tomboy child she used to be—and sometimes still is. She yearns to fly away in one of the great steam-driven iron airships to see the world.

The Royal Navy is building up to a war, and Henry’s old friend, the Lord of Ireland, is accused of giving safe harbor to pirates.
