The Adventures of Hector and Boris Book 1 –"The Power Paint Project"
Hector is a boy with an extraordinary secret. He gets to drive the most “awesomest” car in all the world.
The car called BORIS belongs to his family and was built by his Dad an engineering inventing genius.
Boris can fly as an aeroplane or helicopter, be a boat, or hovercraft, as well as a car and with Hector at the wheel they go on some fantastic and daring adventures.

The Power Paint Project is the invention of Professor Cheeseman an eccentric inventor. The paint he has created produces its own electrical power when exposed to oxygen in the air, and when the energy is stored in the power cells, produces enough power to run a car without the need for petrol and oil.
Professor Cheeseman however only makes 1 copy of any of his invention plans and so he puts his trust in ETS a secret security agency to get his plans safely to the factory where the paint will be made.
The evil Angus Burgher, leader of OBOE (Oil Barons of Europe.) has got word that the Power Paint plans are about to be sent to the factory, and sends his henchman Big Max off to find, and steal them so that Burgher can destroy them and make sure he still rules the world of oil.
Big Max steals the plans from Archie Lovell. Lovell, the security agent sent to deliver the plans had put the plans in his very special satchel called Bernard. Bernard was no ordinary satchel either as you will see.
A desperate Lovell finds allies in Hector and Boris and between them, and with the help of some fantastic gadgets, and some ‘snoozers’ manage to get right into OBOE headquarters where they recover Bernard, and the plans. They then fight their way out of the compound against overwhelming odds, getting the plans back to the factory safe and sound.
After all his adventuring a tired but happy Hector returns home to find his Mum cooking his favourite meal, Hot sausage rolls and chips and of course not forgetting the sauce..... YUM.

It was during the Christchurch earthquakes of 2011. My son who was 7 at the time had suffered terribly. "tell me a story he would say." so that's when it started. Hector is my son's name, and Boris was our car. He was a 1984 Mercedes 230E, and built like a tank. We often went to sit in him in the street after an aftershock, we felt safe in him, nothing was going to fall on him and if it did we figured we would be pretty safe, he quickly became one of the family. So they became the hero's of my stories. For 4 weeks we slept under our solid dining room table, and I made up the adventures of our 2 hero's, Hector and Boris and their fight against the bad guys of the world, the stories lasted for half and hour or so, just long enough for my son to fall asleep into his own little dream world away from all his problems. It was he who said I should write them down and publish them so that other kids throughout the world could have their parents tell them a great adventure before they went to bed, so here they are. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as Hector and Myself enjoyed them during those hard times.

This is the story of Hector and his best friend BORIS.

Hector was a boy who lived with his Parents and Tilly his big Sister, in a small Country house in the heart of France. Hector had a best friend BORIS, who just happened to be the world’s ‘most awesomest’ car.

Hectors dad was called Professor Brookes. He was an engineering genius who had retired from the European Space Agency so that he could concentrate on building his own fantastic inventions. He had created and built the car and named him BORIS out of the bits and pieces he was made of.

BORIS stands for ‘Built of Robotic Integrated Systems’. He seemed to have a life of his own as he could operate by voice command through a microphone in a family wristwatch or steering wheel, and be driven in the usual normal way.

He was a very important member of the Brookes family.

Although BORIS was very special, and was made up of lots of complicated bits and pieces, he was very easy to drive and Hector was allowed to take him out every day, so long as he was very careful.

He was completely bullet-proof and all his windows were made with reflective glass so no one could see inside, and he had a dashboard
