Can the nerds handle the high seas?

Neil Andertol and his friends were recruited by the Air Force and NASA for their video-game skills. They've piloted top-secret jets and rescued stolen spaceships. But now they're in for their toughest mission yet!

Video game–like action sequences give the fast-moving plot unexpected (and often funny) twists. Neil is a wry, relatable narrator whose gaming obsession will resonate with like-minded readers. The premise of Miller’s debut novel is over-the-top, and that’s the point—it’s an entertaining dreams-do-come-true sort of novel for kids who, like Neil, find empowerment easier online than in real life. - Publishers Weekly on The Nerdy Dozen #1
