About this ebook

Winner of the IBD "Indie Book of the Day" award for May 19th 2014.

Thirteen-year-old Theopolis James Logan doesn't much care for his first name, but then that's the least of his problems. Still in mourning following the death of his beloved grandfather, isolated from many of his friends and bored out of his mind at school, Theo has sunk to a new low that neither his interfering auntie Annie nor his best friend and neighbour Jules can shake him out of.

Then one morning, Theo unexpectedly receives a mysterious parcel containing a newspaper and a cryptic letter and sets out with Jules to unravel its mystery. Following a trail of clues, Theo is led on a startling voyage of discovery into deep space where he discovers that the Universe that is stranger, more exciting and more dangerous than he could possibly imagine. Will he have the courage to leave behind everything he has ever known in pursuit of an exciting new life or will his darkest fears triumph, forever putting his dreams out of reach?

Meanwhile, the mysterious Star Agency watches patiently from the shadows, preparing to make its move...

    Do computer games use imagination? Theo certainly thinks they do, but his guardian’s not so sure, and his best friend thinks a trip to the bowling alley might help.So begins R.E. Weber’s Star Agency, a middle-grade novel that will take young Theo from his safe ordinary world into a place where computer games are but a pale reflection of his new reality. Alien creatures, strange weapons, curious landscapes and starfields abound, plus a fine collection of mysteries to be solved.Readers will follow along with this story, looking for answers even as the characters try to solve their problems. It’s a novel that certainly draws the reader in, with its bereaved thirteen-year-old protagonist, well-imagined worlds of galactic powers and intrigue, and neat mysteries."Knowledge and facts are no substitute for... experience," in real life, as well as in this tale. And my only complaint is, it ends like a TV episode with the story half-begun – it's a good ploy to encourage young readers to pick up more books I suppose.Disclosure: I read about the book online and found a free ecopy.
