TIBERIUS FOUND is the first instalment in a thrilling series – The Emperor Initiative – that introduces an engaging new hero that will appeal to fans of Alex Rider and Jason Bourne.. Quote from the book:Jim made his way through the automatic barriers at Reading station and headed to a saloon car parked close by. He sat in the passenger’s seat and plugged his display unit’s connector into a socket in the car’s central console. A panel in the dashboard spun around to reveal a touch screen. Jim tapped at the screen and a list of the copied files from Arthur’s terminal was displayed. He selected the one titled “Tiberius”. The car driver’s door opened and the red-headed drunk from the train sat next to him. Jim opened the Tiberius file and a class photo of Daniel Henstock was displayed on the screen, its time stamp showing it had been taken three years ago. He scrolled down and Daniel’s home address and personal details were displayed. ‘Is it what we want?’ the red-head asked. All traces of his slurred speech now gone. Jim nodded. ‘That’s the one. And it’s his birthday too,’ Jim said, pointing at the screen. ‘Sixteen today. What present do you think he’d like?’ The red-head gave a snigger. ‘Nothing that he’s gonna get.’ He fired the car’s ignition and eased it out of the car park. Jim took a mobile phone from his jacket and in a clear voice said, ‘Call, Control.’ The call clicked through after one ring. ‘Yes?’ a cold voice answered. ‘It’s Alpha One, sir. Our Intel was correct; the old man did have the data.’ Jim paused as if to add weight to his next four words. ‘Tiberius has been found.’.
