The Villain Virus (Nerds #4)

Description

A virus has infected Arlington, Virginia, home of NERDS headquarters, and it's much worse than your run of the mill flu. Instead of coughing and sneezing, the victims of this voracious virus are transformed into super-intelligent criminal masterminds! Soon nearly everyone, including some of the NERDS team, is plotting to take over the world! And who's to blame for this nasty infection? None other than the NERDS' former teammate, Heathcliff Hodges. With more people breaking out into evil cackles every day, it is up to Flinch, the hyper-active super-spy with a sweet tooth, to stop the virus. To do so, he needs to destroy the virus at its source, and to do that he's going to have to get inside Heathcliff's head, literally. Flinch will have to miniaturise himself and take a fantastic voyage through the supervillian's body to fight white blood cells, stomach acids, and a nest of nasty nanobytes in hopes that he can save the world from the Villain Virus.
