The Sons of Scarlatti (Infinity Drake)
Description
Humour and high adventure combine in the biggest, new action adventure in years - even if its characters are very small.
Infinity Drake - aka Finn - is off on holiday with his mad scientist uncle when they are summoned to a crisis meeting. Scarlatti, a lethal bio-weapon - an über-wasp killing machine - has been released by a pitiless villain, with incalculable consequences for mankind.
UNLESS Uncle Al can shrink a military team to track down and kill the beast. But then disaster strikes - sabotage! Finn gets shrunk to 9mm and has to jump in a tiny Apache helicopter with three soldiers in a desperate race to destroy the beast that's out there, very angry and many times their size.
