The City Cipher Series: The Tokyo Transmission: Archer and Scout’s Samurai Search: The City Cipher Series: Book 3 (Thriller for young readers)

Lost in the Neon Jungle. Hunted by a Digital Ghost. Welcome to Tokyo. Archer and Scout have tackled Rome and London, but nothing could prepare them for the chaos, the lights, and the secrets of Tokyo. Archer thought he knew what "crowded" meant until he stepped into the Shibuya Scramble—the busiest intersection in the world. But he and his sister, Scout, aren't just there to sightsee. They have been activated for their most dangerous mission yet. A mysterious hacker known only as The Yurei (The Ghost) has seized control of the city's digital grid. Traffic lights are going rogue, screens are watching their every move, and history is being deleted. To stop her, Archer and Scout must find the scattered pieces of the legendary Masamune Sword of Light before the city reboots forever. The catch? The clues are hidden in the most iconic—and dangerous—spots in Japan. Join the Adventure as Archer and Scout: Survive the Shibuya Scramble: Dodge a stampede of 3,000 pedestrians while being tracked by facial recognition software. - Infiltrate the Bullet Train: Sneak onto a Shinkansen moving at 200 mph to find a clue hidden in a seat—without getting caught by the legendary "7-Minute Miracle" cleaning crew. - Escape a Frozen Fortress: Outsmart security drones in the -60°F flash-freezers of the world’s largest fish market. - Climb a Giant Robot: Scale the life-sized, 60-foot Gundam statue in Odaiba before it transforms into Destroy Mode. More Than Just a Story—It’s Your Ticket to Tokyo! Perfect for young adventurers, families planning a trip to Japan, or anyone who wants to explore the world from their living room, The Tokyo Transmission is packed with real-world history and culture. You will learn: The Secret of Plastic Food: Why restaurants display fake wax meals and how not to eat them. - The Art of the Bow: The difference between a casual nod and a deep apology—and why getting it wrong matters. - Temple Etiquette: How to purify yourself at the Jokoro incense burner and what to do with a "Bad Luck" fortune. - Train Secrets: How the Japanese rail system runs on perfect time, down to the second. Pack your bags (and your chopstick skills). The mission starts now. "A high-octane tour of one of the world's most fascinating cities. Equal parts thriller and travel guide, this book makes you feel the energy of Tokyo on every page."
