After a dramatic jailbreak at a top-secret prison, the planet's most dangerous supervillains are on the loose! Luckily, Murph Cooper and the Super Zeroes are on hand to chase them down. But though they manage to bring in a whole host of bad guys, they can't find their nemesis Magpie anywhere.
Little do they know that he's linked up with another old enemy.... the super smarmy Nicholas Knox is back! Together, they've developed a dastardly machine that can GIVE people superpowers! In the wrong hands, it has the potential to bring about the end of the World of Heroes as we know it ... and it just happens to be in the wrongest hands of all.
Will the Super Zeroes triumph against the odds as they use their unusual talents and wits to bring down the world's craftiest villains?
About the Author :
Chris Smith is an award-winning author, broadcaster, and parent (a mug saying "World's Greatest Dad" counts as an award, right?). He grew up in leafy Northamptonshire, England and now lives in not-as-leafy north London with his wife, son and a cat named Mabel who can talk. If you listen very carefully to the George Michael song "Outside," you can hear a sample of Chris reading the news. He makes excellent tea.

Greg James is an award-winning author and broadcaster, best known for hosting the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, but he hasn't won any awards for being a parent because he isn't one. He circumnavigated the M25 during his childhood and is now living with his wife Bella and their dog Barney in north London. Greg and Chris's houses are connected by a secret tunnel that they use for exchanging ideas via an elaborate pulley system. He makes terrible tea.
