    This is the first book in the teenage sci-fi adventure series The Universe Wide Web. When Jack Smart stumbled across the intergalactic internet known as the Universe Wide Web, little did he realise what adventures and dangers lay ahead.The Universe Wide Web differs from World Wide Web; it’s an actual place, somewhere out there in the aether, that you enter for real. And you can use it to click and travel instantly to anywhere in the universe. It has web-rooms, chat rooms, web-games and markets; it’s a huge, labyrinthine place full of alien creatures and strange technologies. It has millions of users - creatures from all over the universe; though only one person from earth has ever logged on.Jack discovers that his deceased father, an astro-physicist, was not only the first Earth based user of the Universe Wide Web, but also worked on its technology design, and held the security code that is at its core. This code holds the key to controlling it. But the code brings with it danger from many unscrupulous creatures trying to steal it. Jack is drawn into a series of adventures and dangers as creatures try to discover whether he knows what his father knew. He is pursued through endless web-sites and online games, and to planets in the far corner of the universe. His life is in danger; the web is under threat. Who can Jack trust? Can he save the Universe Wide Web?

This code holds the key to controlling it. But the code brings with it danger from many unscrupulous creatures trying to steal it. Jack has to learn to use the mind-browser – the interface to the Universe Wide Web that taps into your conscious. He also learns how to use Web apps, such as the stealth app that lets the user move invisibly, or apps that bring avatars to life. He also plays online games – virtual games the players take part in for real. And he has to lean to pilot a real fighter spacecraft. He is drawn into a series of adventures and encounters - many dangerous, all strange – both on the Web and on distant planets in the far corner of the universe, as creatures try to discover whether he knows what his father knew. Who is out to get him? This eventually culminates in a battle to save the Web from pirate take-over - and only Jack has the means to save the Universe Wide Web.
