Synopses

Cloudburst

Jack Courtney has lived in the UK all his life, but travels to the Democratic Republic of the Congo with his parents and friends for a gorilla conference. When his parents disappear in the rainforest after being abducted by mercenaries, Jack suspects a connection to nearby tantalum mines and sets out to find proof.

With Amelia and Xander, he heads into the jungle to rescue them, facing dangers that include bandits, mercenaries and poachers, as well as wildlife such as western gorillas, forest elephants and hippos. A further complication comes from within Jack’s own family, with Caleb Courtney standing in their way.

Thunderbolt

Jack, Amelia and Xander are in Zanzibar, diving for lost treasure to support Jack’s mother’s coral protection project. On their final day, they venture further than usual and their dive boat is drawn into a trap, leading to their capture by Somali pirates.

Refusing to accept a ransom payment, Jack continues to look for a way out. After being moved to a militia training camp for boy soldiers, the trio’s hopes rest on Mo, a Somali boy who befriends them, as they try to outwit General Sir and his troops.
