From the Publisher

Welcome to the Jungle

The Internet...a world without rules, without boundaries. Where you can be anyone you want, whoever you aren't. And it's all just a click away...

Pepper Oneida is the type of gilr other girls love to hate. She's five feet two of perky perfection who can steal your boyfriend with the wink of an eye. And that's exactly what she's done to Annie Hanley. But Annie's got a plan. With her PC and some help from her stepbrother Nick, she's going to teach Pepper a lesson.

It starts out as a prank. But then Annie and Nick send the wrong message to the wrong person, and things get serious -- serious as a stone-cold killer.

Different people in different places. The only thing they have in common is a new address on the Internet: danger.com. Where all your fears come true.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, June 24, 1999

By A Customer

It was one of the best books I have ever read. Usually mystery books are easy to figure out but this one kept me guessing. The other books in the series are awesome too. It kind of makes you think twice about sending an e-mail.

4.0 out of 5 stars Danger.com Rules!, January 4, 2005

By	L. Mintah "Author of the Heart" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Shadow Man is one of the best books I have ever read in the R.L. Stine type genre. Jordan Cray is as good or even a better writer than Stine. I eventually want to collect and read all the danger.com books. The danger.com books are separate novels, not a series, about various teens and their misadventures with the Internet. Written in the late 1990's, when the Internet was just becoming a household name, the danger.com stories recall the time when the Internet was a big, brave new world.

Shadow Man is written from the point of view of Annie, a sixteen year-old girl who lives on remote Scull Island off the coast of Connecticut. Scull Island can really be boring, but it is even worse because her boyfriend has just dumped her. To make matters worse, Annie sees the happy new couple everywhere she goes. When Annie's New York City-raised stepbrother Nick comes for Christmas break, he suggests revenge. Annie goes along, but the two soon find that their plan has gone very wrong. A mysterious Shadow Man is after them.

This book is written with more sensitivity than most of the genre, with some really good writing and observations about broken hearts, loneliness, and depression.

By A Customer

This was my third danger.com I had read in the series and the best!!!! I loved. It seemed so real like and realistic. I loved how the two main characters try to solve the mystery and their daring escape. If you want a good book, then get this one.
