Inhaltsangabe

The iconic British Hedgehog gets a technological upgrade in this action-packed children's novel about an unlikely bunch of animal cyborgs. Professor Windar's amazing team of hybrid-drones are unveiled in front of a military audience. Their purpose: to support the UK's fight against global terrorism. But when his deadliest prototype malfunctions, Spikez and his team are sent on their most dangerous mission yet - to protect their home from total destruction. The local inhabitants of Greenacres find themselves entangled in a fight for survival like no other. Claws clasp, feathers fry, and microchips meddle as a new breed of hero is born. Can the future of humanity and animalkind be saved by Spikez? Classic storytelling with technological enhancements, Spikez is the first in a series of fiction books about the dangers of man's meddling with nature. It's been described as Animal Farm meets The Matrix. Like the eBook version of Spikez, the book is alive with technology.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Richard is a secondary school teacher, children's author, and nature lover with a fondness for hedgehogs. He is currently writing and promoting the Spikez series of novels, where roadkill and robotics become one. Spikez is the first in a series of three books about an unlikely group of animal cyborgs, who have all been constructed by the UK military. The story was road-tested by students from primary and secondary schools, and also given a nod by university academics in the field of artificial intelligence from across the country. The alpha version was printed in October 2012 and a revised version was formatted for Kindle in January 2013. Look out for upcoming novels Making Trakz and Spikez: Red Dragon in paperback and on kindle by the end of the year. Richard currently works as a Media teacher in London and lives with his wife and three children (plus two orphaned hedgehogs) in Welwyn, Hertfordshire.
