Genius Squad

Now that the Axis Institute has been blown up and his probable real father is in jail, Cadel Piggot's stuck in foster care. That is, until billionaire Rex Austin--founder of the Genius Squad, a private vigilante group who would attack the Darkkon Empire--requests that Cadel and Sonja join the squad. Genius Squad operates under a front: Clearview House, a safe haven for troubled and needy kids. But Clearview turns out not to be so safe when Prosper English (a.k.a. Thaddeus Roth--mentor, teacher, madman) escapes prison and comes after Cadel.
