The colony world Adirondack and Silvern fell to the Troft forces almost without a struggle. Outnumbered and on the defensive, Earth made a desperate decision. It would attack the aliens not from space, but on the ground—with forces the Trofts did not even suspect. Thus were created the cobras, a guerrilla force whose weapons were surgically implanted, invisible to the unsuspecting eye, yet undeniably deadly. But power brings temptation…and not all the Cobras could be trusted to fight for Earth alone. Only Moreau would learn the uses—and abuses—of his special abilities, and what it truly meant to be a Cobra.

Tanzania, East Africa. Terrorists are smuggling uranium ore out of the country to build nuclear weapons. The top-secret security organisation Cobra recruits teenagers Lucy, Kal, Ellie, and their Maasai friends Matata and Kiki to infiltrate the operation. Where is the ore coming from? Where is it going? Who is masterminding the operation? To answer these questions Cobra operatives must survive the hazards of mountain jungles, the African bush and shark-infested caves. Then they face the sinister Chui and his accomplices… Cobra Strike was shortlisted for the Wells Festival of Literature Children’s Story Competition 2016.
