Otto Malpense and his three friends are back for another adventure. In a nice change of setting, the majority of this book takes place outside of H. I. V. E. The plot gets serious really fast as Otto's best friend Wing is murdered. Again the theme of a powerful youth prevailing in difficult circumstances is pervasive throughout the story. Building on the characters from the first book, a few take on a larger role and become more fully formed. Mark Walden gives us strong male and female characters allowing both boys and girls to connect to the story. The Overlord Protocol is shrouded in mystery. It was a form of artificial intelligence that went awry. As far as everyone knows the protocol was destroyed many years ago. But was it? And why is it important?
