Discover the thrilling and high-stakes finale in Catherine Jinks’ Genius Trilogy: The Genius Wars — a fast-paced, tech-savvy conclusion that pits boy-genius Cadel against his ultimate nemesis in a battle for everything he holds dear!

After leaving behind a childhood filled with lies, manipulation, and criminal schemes, fifteen-year-old Cadel Greeniaus (formerly Cadel Piggott) has finally built a real life: a loving adoptive family, true friends, and even university studies in computer engineering. But safety is an illusion. His former mentor and “father figure,” the dangerous fugitive Prosper English, is back and determined to destroy Cadel’s hard-won normalcy. When threats strike close to home — endangering those Cadel cares about most — he has no choice but to fight back. Crossing oceans, unraveling digital deceptions, and diving back into the shadowy world he once escaped, Cadel must outthink a master manipulator, break rules he swore to leave behind, and confront the dark legacy of his past before it’s too late.

Catherine Jinks delivers her signature blend of clever plotting, sharp wit, moral complexity, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, wrapping up the trilogy with twists, high-tech intrigue, and emotional depth that keep you hooked until the final page.

Ideal for young adult and teen readers (ages 12+) who love smart, character-driven thrillers with genius protagonists and cyber-crime elements, fans of the Genius Trilogy ready to see how Cadel’s story ends after Evil Genius and Genius Squad, lovers of high-stakes mysteries like Artemis Fowl or The Inheritance Games but with deeper ethical dilemmas and tech-savvy action, and anyone who enjoys stories about identity, redemption, loyalty, and outsmarting villains — perfect for gripping, binge-worthy reading sessions!
