Product Description

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...

Ryan Corrigan is not what most people would call a "cool" guy. He's usually called something more like geek or cybernerd. Maybe it's because he and his mom move almost every year, so he never gets a chance to make friends. Or maybe it's becasue he spends most of his time glued to his computer. It's his friend.

But now Ryan's friend has gotten him into some big trouble. If Ryan doesn't find a real friend real fast, he could end up in jail -- or worse, a victim of a terrible "accident."

Different people in different places. The one 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 Hot Pursuit is HOT., August 31, 2000

By	Michael Klosowsky (Near Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews

I just finished reading this book and I loved it. I don't want to give the whole story away, but it is about a boy who has a whole bunch of lies told to him(even by his mother) and is wanted to work for some hackers to take over the world. You think you know the story at first, but it twists around at the end and it all adds up. This is a must read for people who like mysteries and computers.

5.0 out of 5 stars The modern Nancy is cool, capable and determined to have fun, May 21, 2008

This review is from: HOT PURSUIT (NANCY DREW FILES 58) (Paperback)

I grew up fascinated by the Hardy Boys series and on occasion I read a book in one of either the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew series'. I find it fascinating to compare the plot structure and social and historical context between the books over time.
This book is thoroughly modern; Nancy and her friends George and Bess travel to the U. S. Virgin Islands. While there a boy rock band arrives to film a video and suddenly there is danger. There is dissension in the group but that does not appear to be enough to motivate the incidents of attempted murder. Nancy and her friends investigate and discover a crime ring smuggling people into the United States. Nancy gets too close and the ringleader kidnaps and tries to kill her. Fortunately, the resourceful Nancy manages to get free and the people in the ring are arrested by immigration agents.
While Nancy is a bit aloof from it, the girls still react like modern girls to the presence of the rock band. Also unlike the earlier episodes, when George and Bess encounter a man with a knife, they fight back rather than cowering. They kick the knife out of his hand and push him into the water.
Social change is inevitable and the differences in the Nancy Drew books over the years reflect that change. This book is one that will appeal to the modern adventurous young girl as it presents Nancy in a situation of the 1990's and she is cool, capable and determined to have fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Danger.com, March 14, 2005

If you dare to, enter Danger.com, by Jordan Cray. During this adventure on the internet, a boy tries to find out if he has a dad or a mom. He has a best friend and whose mom is his moms best friend. He finds out where the guy works that could be his father. This book is like when you get thrown upside down on a rollar coaster. You're excited and scared at the same time. It's a thrill and a chill, and you don't know how to cantain yourself for the ride. While all this is going on, he gets so into finding his dad that he and his best friend start to drift way from each other faster and faster. They have no control over their friendship. I use to be friends with a girl, but after Junior high school we drifted apart. We still see each other, but we are neighbors. He has time to make up for what he did wrong. If you like adventure, or mystery you would like this book. I recommend for people that have lots of things going and know how to juggle all them together. If you know what it's like to try and try but still not do good, then you will enjoy Danger.com.
