A futuristic motorcyle is carrying a bomb!A suspected terrorist, Fedir Goraya, has built a motorcycle that is capable of housing a nuclear bomb, and it can be driven by remote control. It’s called the Lightcycle. The Nanoagents team is called in to track information on the suspect, which is not easy because his access point inside the Internet is on another grid and he’s encrypted his data stream. Plus, the agents are just getting used to working inside the 'net. Ajita has to spoof Goraya’s access page in order to get his username and password, Cheryl and Bits need that intel to hack the rest of the way so they can snag the schematics on the bike and to setup a block against the detonation codes for the bomb, and Jaden and Rez need the bike’s layout so they can build a piece of tech that Seth and Chen can use to get inside the Lightcycle. And this has to all be done without Goraya suspecting a thing! Can the agents get control of the Lightcycle before Goraya sets it in motion? Even if Seth and Chen can get into the bike, will Chen be able to drive it? And even if they do get control of the bike…what about the bomb? The Nanoagents have to pull together, work as a team, and leverage each other’s strengths in order to save a small city in the Ukraine from certain destruction!

You will be home before the leaves have fallen from the trees. So said Kaiser Wilhelm II to his German army in August 1914. But World War I would rage for more than 4 years, taking the lives of nearly 10 million soldiers. Some of the most unrelenting combat was waged along the infamous Western Front, where, for one unforgettable Christmas in 1914, enemies set guns aside and came together in friendship. And the Soldiers Sang, written by J. Patrick Lewis, recounts this unlikely truce through the perspective of a young soldier named Owen Davies, who travels from the green country of Wales to the muddy battlefields of Belgium.
