The Finder

Spencer and his big brother Noah are back. In 1968, as kids on summer vacation, they saved Detroit, and possibly the whole US government, from destruction. In The Finder, it's the mid-1980s and they're in college in Silicon Valley. Spencer is pursuing a career and a new girlfriend. But Noah's secret abilities are setting the agenda again. It starts with The Finder - their business for returning stray pets to their owners. Their success with dogs and cats gets the attention of dangerous characters, who present them the biggest challenge of their lives. To save themselves, Spencer and Noah must find a lost kid, a kid nobody else seems to want to find, a kid who is the key to a technology that will be the foundation of the Internet. Spencer and Noah team up with new allies to search for that kid, plus tackle a few side jobs along the way, such as triggering the collapse of the Soviet Union. And, then, final exams. The Finder is the sequel to Tony Kordyban's break-out pre-teen high-adventure sci-fi thriller-comedy, The Shepherds' War. That was the story of how the outcomes of the Cold War and the social revolution of the 1960s hinge on a 12-year-old boy who spent most of his life hidden in an attic.
