The Axis Institute for World Domination has been blown up, and nobody seems to want Cadel. When he is approached by the head of Genius Squad—a group formed to investigate GenoME, one of Darkkon’s pet projects—Cadel is dubious. Genius Squad can offer him a real home and all the technology his heart desires. But what is the group really up to?
