Fero is just an ordinary teenager struggling to fit in at his new school in Kamau -- until he is arrested. Apparently he bears an eerie resemblance to Troy Maschenov, a ruthless young spy from Besmar, Kamau's hostile neighbour. But when Fero proves his identity to the police, his problems only get worse. He is recruited by a secret intelligence organisation that goes by the name of The Library. They need him to impersonate Troy long enough to sneak across the border, rescue an agent, and bring her home in time to stop a devastating terrorist attack.Hastily trained and loaded up with gadgetry, Fero has to accept the mission. His journey takes him into Besmar where he sees the effect of this cold war with his own eyes. It also pits him against spies, police, soldiers and terrorists as he escapes from one deadly situation after another, no-one more surprised at his survival skills than himself, until he reaches his target, the ruthless double agent Dess Cormanenko.But finding Dess is only part of the mission. Once they start to work together, some uncomfortable truths start to emerge. Just who is this young woman? And what does she know? As truths follow lies, and deceptions follow truths, Fero finds himself caught between countries, loyalties and questioning everything he once believed.
