Brooks always write cracking thrillers for the young adult market, and this is no exception. In this case there is the added frisson of science fiction. As the result of a "freak" accident, Tom, the young hero, has an iPhone lodged in his brain giving him unparalleled access to the electronic world (databases, bank codes, conversations). Intriguing - add revenge and you have a heady mix. A real page turner.
