Praise for the Daniel X series:

'Terrific' Daily Telegraph

Daniel X takes on the wildest threat the world has ever seen -- someone whose craving for fame could destroy the planet!

Lights

All's quiet in the small town of Holliswood -- television sets, computers, and portable devices aglow in every home, classroom, and store. But everything is not as perfect as it may seem. An evil is lurking, just out of sight, behind the screen.

Camera

From the darkest depths of imagination flickers the most terrifying enemy Daniel X is yet to face. A villain with more ambition than the world can withstand, dead set on throwing the sleepy neighbourhood into chaos and documenting the destruction of every person in it, including Daniel, his friends, and his family.

Extermination

Daniel X is the only person who can stop this devilish director. But, as the super-villain assembles an all-star team of his own creation, not even Daniel can imagine the enormity of his plans. Can Daniel X stop this deranged outlaw before he stages the most spectacular finale the world has ever seen? Or will Daniel find himself on the cutting room floor?

Aus dem Klappentext

[extract]

Guided by the sound of explosions, falling shelves, and screams, I hurried over to the source of the chaos, leaping over people, dodging carts, somersaulting over cardboard displays.

In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have taken even that nano-second to think about it. Because as soon as he saw me - and clearly he'd been waiting in ambush - he fired at me.

I've got some pretty good reflexes, of course, so I managed to leap into the air but I wasn't fast enough.

A massive shockwave slammed into me, compressing all the air in the warehouse-sized store and smacking me down like I was a fly, and it was a folled-up newspaper. I crunched down into the floor, my ears ringing, my vision blurry, the room spinning.
