H.I.V.E. 9: Bloodline

As the students of H.I.V.E. face the challenges of their final year at the school, Otto Malpense is forced to confront his own legacy as a new threat rises from the shadows of his past.

Old wounds will be reopened and dark, hidden secrets will be revealed as H.I.V.E.'s enemies seek a final, ruthless revenge against the school. Otto and his friends face a desperate, deadly fight against an enemy more powerful and dangerous than any they have faced before - a twisted product of his own bloodline. Nothing will ever be the same again...

From Italy to Russia and back via the USA, Otto battles against time to defeat an enemy who seems to hold all the cards, while uncaring of the cost to human life. Featuring all your favourite characters from previous books in the series, Bloodline is a real tour de force, and a fitting conclusion to Walden's H.I.V.E series.

Mark Walden (born 1972) is the author of the H.I.V.E. series of novels. He was a senior producer in charge of developing PlayStation games for Sony before taking up writing full-time. He studied English Literature and Twentieth Century Literature, Film and Television at Newcastle University where he met his wife, Sarah. They have a daughter, Megan, a cat called Solo and the most important member of the household, a dog called Chewie. He spent ten years as a video games designer and producer before leaving the games industry to write and become a full-time father. H.I.V.E., published in September 2006, was Walden's debut novel. It was selected as a winner in Richard and Judy's 'Best Kids' Books Ever' competition and Paramount Pictures optioned the film rights. Walden has since produced eight more books in the series, as well as a sci-fi trilogy called Earthfall.
