The Arctic 6 embark on their first dangerous mission 
(25/08/2010)
Iago's father has been accidentally kidnapped by a seriously mad scientist. The intended kidnap victim was his his Uncle Jonas, who is a scientist involved with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project at CERN - the European Centre for Nuclear Research in Switzerland - where he has been working on Big-Bang theory.
Jonas has discovered that his old nemesis Katherina Kreng has used the LHC to create matter-annihilating particles - Killer Strangelets - which could destroy the planet.
The only solution depends on an emergency shutdown device hidden deep inside the long LHC tunnel, deep beneath the Swiss mountains. The problem is that only Jonas knows where it is, and he can't get to it.
The Arctic 6 take over and embark on their first dangerous mission. This adrenaline packed thriller follows the exploits of the Arctic 6 - fifteen year old Iago and his younger sister Aretha, his cousins Cam, Tara and Renny and their friend, the bewitching Charlie.
Carol Furlong grew up in Ireland and studied Science at Carlow Institute of Technology and promptly forgot most of it. After travelling in Europe, working in the music business in London and in the fashion business in Antwerp, a childhood love of adventure stories coupled with the long neglected interest in science, resulted in the creation of the Arctic 6. She is married with two young children and lives in the remote wilds of Suffolk.
Killer Strangelets, an Arctic 6 adventure by C T Furlong, is published by Inside Pocket, Age 11+, £5.99
