For Brian Parker, spy novels were an escape. Now they're a survival guide.

On a high school trip to Europe, Brian and his best friend Tim like to play "Spot the Spy". But when Brian stumbles across a dying man with a cryptic message that plunges him into a dangerous international conspiracy, he quickly learns this is anything but a game.

In order to unravel the truth behind a cutting-edge weapon called Prometheus, Brian teams up with Larissa, the daughter of the scientist responsible for the tech. They must navigate a world he's only read about-one full of shadowy figures and uncertain allegiances, all while on the run from a ruthless freelance operative known as Matthias Skyrm.

With time running out and lives on the line, Brian must figure out who to trust and how to stop a plot that reaches the highest levels. Can a high school spy buff survive the real world of espionage, relying on skills he learned from his favorite novels, or will his story end sooner than expected?
