Codename Zero - Couverture souple

There are places in the world where heroes are born. There are places where brave men and women fight a never-ending battle against evil in order to keep our country and all other countries safe. There are places where the fate of our planet is being decided, even at this very moment, the consequences of which will echo through history.

None of these places is in North Dakota.

Carson Fender, seventh grader and notorious prankster, knows this. He's lived in North Dakota for his entire life, going to the same boring school every day, the same boring movie theater every week, the same boring state fair every year. Nothing ever changes, and nothing ever happens. That is, until today. Because today a desperate man is going to hand Carson a package with a dire set of instructions. And that package is going to lead him to discover that there's a secret government agency operating in his small, quiet North Dakota hometown.

And that this agency needs his help.

In the world today, there are places where heroes are born. There are places where brave men and women fight a never-ending battle against evil in order to keep the world safe. There are places where the fate of our planet is being decided, even now as we speak.

None of these places are in North Dakota.

Carson Fender knows this. He spends most of his time concocting elaborate pranks just to inject a little bit of the unexpected into his otherwise completely normal life. But all of this changes the day that a desperate man in a nondescript black suit hands him a mysterious package with an even more mysterious mission. Carson is about to discover that there s something going on in his town than he had ever suspected. Something involving the CIA. And they need Carson s help.
