Saboteur

'Saboteur' is the first in the series of The Biocide Conspiracy Trilogy. It is the story about two Australian teenagers who find wreckage from the International Space Station. Pursued by villains that will stop at nothing to achieve their ends, their journey is hampered by the complexity of attraction between a boy and a girl from totally different worlds. The fast moving and action-packed thriller is intercut with frightening extracts from a diary written by the assassinated Head of Mission Control, making it clear that hope for mankind lies not with scientists and heads of states but with the youth of the world. Mo, Geronimo Jones, blames himself for the death of his best mate in a high speed car chase. None too thrilled with his new life as a jackeroo on an isolated sheep station on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert, he has to stick it out for six months by order of the Juvenile Justice Department. Things start to get worse when his boss flies off in the middle of the night to check on a station hand and Mo witnesses the International Space Station crash back to Earth. Two days later, he hasn't returned and Mo heads off to a neighboring property for help. Fleeing from a bush fire sparked by the crash, he discovers the wreckage from the space station and a flask - inside is a secret so damaging to world governments, it must be suppressed - at all costs. Mo joins forces with Beth, a stuck-up girl living on a neighboring station, and the only member of her family to evade capture by mysterious black-clad gunmen. Antagonists from their very first meeting, the warring teens are swept into the realm of of an arms dealer who will stop at nothing to get his hands on a biocide, lethal enough to kill one million people, from a single, solitary gram. On a hair-raising and breath-holding flight from the terrorists and NATO forces while trying to decide what to do with their lethal discovery, Mo and Beth go from enemies to frenemies to friends and almost, just about ... something else.
