The H.I.V.E Series

A vividly drawn world of bad guys and master criminals, The H.I.V.E Collection includes the first six books in Mark Walden’s imaginative series, an action-packed romp that is sure to leave young readers compelled. The Higher Institute of Villainous Education (H.I.V.E) is the new home for 13 year-old master criminal Otto Malpense, but he soon comes to the conclusion that he can go it alone. Is he clever enough to escape? Adventurous readers will have a great time finding out!

The Author

Mark Walden spent ten years producing video games for a living before finally deciding that perhaps it was time to do some real work. With the bitter taste of rejection from the NASA astronaut training programme still in his mouth he decided (luckily) that maybe he should try and write a book instead. He is happily married (as is his wife, he hopes) and is the proud father of Megan. He is owned by Marge, his cat, who has provided invaluable assistance at every stage of the writing of both books.
