The Shrieking Shadow

The Shrieking Shadow is the fifth book of the Spy Gear Adventures series by Rick Barba.

Synopsis
There's evil...and then there's evil.

''Despite Team Spy Gear's mostly logical outlook on life, the kids can't help but wonder if myths like the Loch Ness monster could be true. How else do you explain the enormous, strange thing lurking in the Carrolton Reservoir?''

''Silly children. Don't they know it's just Viper's evil plan involving dark matter and some stunning modifications to his airship? But that's only a piece of it, because Viper's master plan involves a whole new kind of evil designed to replace humanity as the planet's dominant species.''

''Without any help from the Dark Man and the Agency, Team Spy Gear must rely on the Omega Link for information. . . and as any loyal Spy Gear fan knows, the Omega Link is nothing if not unreliable and cryptic. Plus, Jake's got a soccer crisis, Cyril and Cat have their first fight, and Lucas is plotting to bring down the school Mean Girls clique headed by none other than Sierra Foxworthy.''

You know, the usual.
