Synopsis

Hodder Literature: a new and exciting series of literature titles for Key Stage 3 for whole class use.



The move of the Hayton family to a new home, an old house with a history, triggers off a series of strange events which connects the past to the present and the future. Fifteen-year-old Graham gradually comes to believe that the ghost of a World War One soldier is haunting the house and causing disturbances linked to his father's job as a computer scientist working on a top-secret new deadly weapons system, the StarRaider. When details of the StarRaider appear on the internet, Mr Hayton is arrested and tried for breaking the Official Secrets Act. Is the ghost of the soldier responsible for jeopardising the StarRaider, thereby preventing further death and destruction, or is it the work of some political agency, bent on protecting the world from a new weapon of mass destruction?
