'Net Force Explorers' is a brilliant high-tech adventure series created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik.
In the year 2025 the Internet practically runs the world, and its virtual reality webwork has to be policed by Net Force to prevent terrorists from sabotaging it. But sometimes they need help. Which is where the Net Force Explorers come in, the young people's auxiliary for computer whiz-kids who have made it through a tough training programme.
When the Cservanka Brothers Circus comes to Andy Moore's home town as part of its world tour, he's kind of underwhelmed. After all, he can go on the Net and tame tigers in veeyar if he wants to. But this is no ordinary circus, and its reality-based show is augmented by a virtual one where patrons can visit fortune tellers and freak shows weird enough to make anybody's hair stand on end.
In fact, Andy becomes so entranced by this virtual Big Top - and in particular the glamorous aerialist and lion-tamer Syeira - that he gets himslef a summer job with the circus. But Andy's about to discover that behind the spectacle is a far darker and more dangerous world, where death is an ever-present reality . . .
