The United Kingdom. Ryan Jacobs is too smart for his own good. So the young genius thinks it would be a grand lark to prove he can break into the army’s maximum-security system. But the born-to-be-a-rebel teenager never expected soldiers to storm his house and arrest him, taking away his freedom… forever.

Surprised to be whisked off to a mysterious academy for gifted kids, Ryan’s competitive streak is challenged by strict teachers, global crises, and the unexplored skill of making friends. But when his new bestie is kidnapped and a dark organization demands his compliance, the juvenile lawbreaker faces a complex choice between life and death.

Can he save his classmate before they’re both permanently deleted?

The Rules is the fast-paced first book in the Ryan Jacobs YA techno-thriller series. If you like heroes with an attitude, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and gritty themes, then you’ll love Paul Orton’s action-packed adventure.

The first book of the Bex Carter Dramadies

Warning: This is what NOT to do.

High school is supposed to be Bex’s time to shine, but things are off to a rocky start. First, her aunt embarrasses her on her very first day of high school. Next, Bex tries out for the soccer team and inadvertently makes the team captain angry. Then there’s the struggle to keep her grades up without being sidetracked by boy drama so her aunt won’t ship her off to prison (AKA boarding school). On the plus side, Bex meets a cute boy named Lucas, but there’s a little voice in her head telling her that Lucas is too perfect to be true. How is Bex supposed to survive her first year of high school when she can barely make it through the first week?

His ego is big, but his problems just got bigger. Can a thirteen-year-old hacker learn to be a hero, or is his talent meant for evil?
