Jayden didn’t think his first mission as a Last Line of Defense agent was going to be this dramatic. When a young journalist seeks asylum in the British embassy in Buenos Aires, the building comes under fire. Sofia has stolen explosive data from a tech company, and is now being mercilessly pursued. A breathless chase across Buenos Aires ensues – and Jayden realises this is about far more than just the data.

About the Series

Only a handful of initiates know about the secret training programme “Last Line of Defense”. It trains young people to become secret agents: they are deployed where other specialist units have failed. The latest recruits are Team Omega, the newest and youngest team in the organisation – and they’re plunged into their first mission sooner than they had expected!
