About this audiobook
“The fate of the world depends on us.”
With one mysterious e-mail, Bobby Kungenook—the teenage hockey phenom living undercover and guarding part of a revolutionary scientific breakthrough—realizes someone else shares his secret. The sender summons Bobby from New York to a rendezvous in radioactive Japan. There, with the help of Bobby’s guardian, Nadia Tesla, the two will forever alter mankind’s destiny.
But dangerous people from Bobby’s haunted past are hot on his heels, determined to possess what could be the power of life and death. And when the enigmatic e-mail sender, Genesis II, is kidnapped after a bloody showdown on the scarred streets of Fukushima, Bobby must tap into his remarkable abilities to pursue the brutal captors into the forbidding reaches of Siberia—and the land where his journey began.
As the Nadia Tesla series races to its stunning conclusion on the frozen shores of Lake Baikal, the boy from reactor four will claim his fate and become a legend.

6 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Bobby Kungenook and his guardian Nadia are both aware that the locket he has always worn contains part of a groundbreaking formula that could counteract the effect of radiation poisoning. When Bobby receives an email from a person known as Genesis II, it suggests that the sender has the other half of the formula and would like Bobby to meet with him in Japan. Nadia and Bobby agree that the opportunity is not one they can pass up, so they are off to Japan. Once they get to the meeting place, things start to go wrong. Genesis II is kidnapped and Bobby is shocked to see someone from his past. When Bobby takes off on his own in an attempt to follow the kidnappers, Nadia is hot on his trail trying to keep him safe. The first two books brought us an interesting look inside the Ukrainian culture and the resulting consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. The third book brings us an additional look at the Fukushima nuclear meltdown initiated by the 2011 tsunami in Japan. We all saw the horrifying pictures of the tsunami, and watched as the Japanese fought to contain the nuclear meltdown. The upheaval it left behind and the potential for more disasters of this level are all the more emotional to read about since this was such a recent happening. In reality, if the formula in this book was real, it would indeed be a treasure beyond price to good and bad guys alike. This is a fast-paced and exciting conclusion to the Nadia Tesla series. I was very satisfied with the unpredictable ending. I am also very positive that there will be readers who aren't so satisfied. Which will you be?
