S.T.I.N.K.B.O.M.B.

Twelve-year-old Archie Hunt is a fairly unassuming kind of boy - until the day he is recruited into S. T. I. N. K. B. O. M. B. , MI6's fledgling branch of child agents. Their mission? To track down the evasive Doctor Doom, whose sinister experiments to create the ultimate super-being must be stopped. (Seriously. Austin Powers' Doctor Evil has nothing on this guy.) Luckily Archie has been given a few piloting lessons by his fighter-jet-designer father . . . and soon S. T. I. N. K. B. O. M. B. are whizzing around Europe on the search for Doom's lair. They meet friend and foe along the way - including the poor mutants who are the products of Doom's failed experiments. Like Finn: half-man, half-goldfish. He WANTS to lead the team to the hideout, but his three-second memory means that consistency isn't his strong point . . .

Riffing excellently on the Bond films, Rob Stevens combines high adventure with pure slapstick comedy in the first book of this hilarious new series.
