Od Fitch hates his life. He hates living in the middle of nowhere, he hates the fact that his mum is dead and his dad is too wrapped up in his research to notice him, and he hates his school, where the lessons are too easy and dull to bother with. But everything changes one day when Od arrives home to discover his father has been abducted by terrorists. Far from the mild-mannered genius that Od believed him to be, Od's father has been designing the most powerful weapon known to mankind, Warsuit 1.0. A 7m-tall robotic exoskeleton designed to form a permanent psychic bond with whoever pilots it first. And that person is Od. Armed and dangerous, Od's now trapped in a race against time, to save his father from the terrorists, from the government, and from a viciously beautiful operative known only as Angelica W-K.
