Book Description
Danny is a freelance IT specialist—that is, a hacker. He and his pal Omar are both skilled at parkour, or freerunning, a discipline designed to enable practitioners to travel between any two points regardless of obstacles. This is fortunate, because they're off on an adventure that's filled with obstacles, from locked doors to gangs of hostile pursuers. Together they follow a cryptic clue, find a missing map, figure out how to get to Timbuktu without buying a plane ticket, and join the life-and-death treasure hunt, exchanging wisecracks and solving the puzzle one step at a time.An exotic setting and gripping suspense, as well as an absorbing introduction to parkour, make this thriller a genuine page-turner.

Book Description
A ruthless treasure hunt takes a boy from London to sub-Saharan Africa in this pacey thriller Long ago in the ancient city of Timbuktu a student pulled off the most daring heist in African history — the theft of 100 million pounds worth of gold. The stolen treasure has remained hidden until now, when teenage hacker Danny Temple discovers a cryptic Arabic manuscript. It’s a good thing Danny is a keen traceur (free runner) because it seems that everyone in London now wants a piece of him. Danny has to run across rooftops and leap from buildings to stay one step ahead of his pursuers. His adrenalin-charged quest leads him to sub-Saharan Africa, and the mysterious cliffs of Bandiagara.

He gets inside every detail of the hacker's world, including how hackers exploit security holes in private and public networks and how network hacking tools work. As a huge value-add, the author is including the first release of a powerful software hack attack tool that can be configured to meet individual customer needs.

Book Description
Adventure was one thing, art another, but the main driver for the trip to Timbuktu was to help raise funds for research at the University of Edinburgh for FragileX. Further details can be found on the website, London to Timbuktu for Fragile X. 50 countries visited and now, along with a group of friendly individuals, I had just driven through the Sahara. With these muckers I had ventured deeply into the dark-continent. In this uncertain world there is no guarantee that you will return from any journey, large or small. Some intrepid adventurers like the Victorian, Alexander Gordon Laing, who made it all the way to Timbuktu, but sadly never made it back to his homeland of Scotland - he was slain en-route. I write this promotional e-book to introduce the e-book From Blackpool Tower to Timbuktu, (and back again). The main thing I have learnt is a guess at the scope of things that are yet to be learned - a big scope. Travelling to Timbuktu was part of that scope. A significant theme of this book is autobiography in order to describe the motive; the attempt to make art. I see no fixed issues, rather developmental journeys. I hope you glean something here and that may inspire your own endeavours and that you enjoy this promotional e-book, an introduction to the larger e-book, From Blackpool Tower to Timbuktu, (and back again).
