[edit] Series One
[edit] The Frankenstein Factory (US: Mission One)
Somewhere in the not too distant future, there is a school that is much more than it seems ... To the outside world, it is known as The Deveraux College for gifted teenagers. But to Lori, Jake, Jennifer, Ben, Eddie, Cally and the other new first years, it goes by a very different name: Spy High. Those who pass its rigorous training program will become the world's best hope in the fight against evil megalomaniacs and crazed techno-terrorists. Those who fail will have their memories erased. Let the lessons begin ...
[edit] The Chaos Connection (US: Chaos Rising)
Bond Team is back,and preparing to battle for the prestigious Sherlock Shield. Victory means a place in the Deveraux College hall of fame. But to win, they'll have to beat their arch-rivals – and Solo Team are prepared to do anything to stop that from happening. Bond Team will have to watch their backs. And maybe everywhere else too, because in the world outside of Spy High, a terrorist organisation is about to send its first explosive announcement: Chaos is coming!
[edit] The Serpent Scenario
There's a deadly new drug on the streets of America. Drac is instantly and horribly addictive and turns its users into zombies with a desperate craving for blood. Every agent from Spy High has been assigned to discover its source - even the trainees.
But one member of the Bond Team won't be joining the hunt. Jennifer Chen is following a dangerous trail of her own. She's got some private business with a street gang called the Serpents. And it's a business of revenge.
[edit] The Paranoia Plot
Rebecca Dee has spiked green hair, a lot of body piercings and even more attitude. But that's not what's bothering Jake, Cally and the others. They're more worried about the 'accidents' that seem to happen whenever their new team mate is around. And about where she keeps sneaking off to late at night. Because with strange and dangerous events unfolding in the world outside Spy High, her unusual behaviour is looking like more than just coincidence. In fact, Bond Team are beginning to suspect that Rebecca Dee is a double-agent....
[edit] The Soul Stealer (US: Blood Relations)
Things are not looking good for Benjamin T. Stanton Jr. His grades are dropping, his relationship with Lori has hit a major low, and his leadership of Bond Team is in serious doubt. If Ben can't pull things around, he's in real danger of flunking his Spy High exams. And that means one thing - Mind-wipe. Ben is desperate for the chance to prove himself in a mission situation, but then the Bond Team become embroiled in the investigation of a sinister cult and he suddenly wishes he could be anywhere but Spy High. Because this time the suspects aren't just random terrorists, or crazed megalomaniacs - they include members of Benjamin T. Stanton Junior's own family.
[edit] The Annihilation Agenda
Bond Team have a LOT on their minds. Not only are they about to get their exam results, they're also caught up in Spy High's investigations into terrorism at the Solartech power plant. And while Lori, Jake and the others may be freaking out about the exams, their discoveries at Solartech are way more worrying. Because Bond Team have uncovered a plot that's going to make those exam results seem pretty irrelevant. In fact, it's going to make everything pretty irrelevant. Because humanity is about to be wiped out, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it.
[edit] Series Two
[edit] Edward Red
Eddie Nelligan is an Irish boy with red hair. The only thing he is good at is making jokes and sky biking. He is known to be the best in the history of Spy High. He is posted in London, and soon starts facing the threat of a huge terrorist attack poised to stop Britain from joining Europa, a group of European countries.
[edit] Angel Blue
Lori Angel is a graduate of the Deveraux College, the highly secret school for teenage spies. Until now she’s been posted on the coast, doing a whole lot of surfing and partying. But then a fellow graduate turns up at her apartment. Dead. Stashed in his rucksack are a series of clues that will lead Lori into the most dangerous situation of her life. And into conflict with a secret society, every member of which is supposed to be dead.
[edit] Benjamin White
Benjamin Stanton, Jr. is a graduate of the Deveraux College, the highly secret school for teenage spies. When Spy High's old enemy, President Vlad Tepesch of Wallachia, steals an alien device from a Deveraux Moon Colony, Ben's mission is pretty straightforward: get it back. Standing between Ben and his goal are enemy soldiers, ferocious vampires, a jealous rival, and a singularly disturbing prophecy. Clearly this won't be as easy as it sounds. Bond Team has already lost one member to the Wallachian president - could Benjamin Stanton be next?
[edit] Calista Green
Orphaned computer expert Calista Cross is a graduate of the Deveraux College, the highly secret school for teenage spies. And at the moment, she's not coping. Ben Stanton's death has hit her hard and she's so unfocused that she's in danger of being mind-wiped and expelled by the Deveraux organisation. What Cally needs is some action, and a new case involving the suspicious deaths of several nanotech specialists seems just the thing. But an anonymous email hinting that Cally could be close to finding out about her parents turns the case from professional to very, very personal. And more than one surprise is waiting for her.
[edit] Jake Black
Disillusioned with Spy High's methods, Jake chooses to join the Deveraux organization's secretive Black Ops Division, where the rules don't matter as long as you get the job done. Now, the newly authorised Jake Black must infiltrate a group of apocalyptic terrorists and shut down their mad scheme to destroy the Earth. But Jake's about to find out that if you fight fire with fire, sooner or later you're going to get burned...
[edit] Agent Orange
Rebecca 'Bex' Deveraux is a graduate of the Deveraux College, the highly secret school for teenage spies. It was a rough ride, proving that she wasn't just at Spy High because her father was in charge, but Bex is now a fully-fledged secret agent, responsible for Region Orange. But things are not going well. Why are loyal employees of the Deveraux organisation being retired? Why can't she contact any of her fellow agents? Why are the people around her acting like zombies? And who is The Deliverer, who seems to be behind all of this? A new enemy? Or someone Bex knows very well indeed...?
[edit] Teams
Bond Team is the team in which all the main characters reside, however there are four teams: Solo, Hannay, Palmer and Bond, all named after fictional spies - James Bond, Napoleon Solo, Richard Hannay and Harry Palmer respectively.
[edit] Bond Team of 2064
Hand-picked by Senior Tutor Elmore Grant.
[edit] Benjamin T. Stanton Jr.
Codename: Benjamin White--Region White
Benjamin Tiberius Stanton III is the blue eyed and cocky leader of Bond Team. He has short cropped blonde hair, and was born in the United States to the wealthy Ben and Nancy Stanton, with no mentioned siblings. He is the heir to the Stanton fortune, which makes its money in a law firm, as referenced in Benjamin White. His birthday is in the final term (Soul Stealer is set entirely in the final term), it is assumed that his birthday is sometime between April and July.
He has the highest aggregate score since the advent of the college, and is Best in School after examinations. He remained Team Leader until midway through Soul Stealer, when he fought with Jake Daly, (who, along with Simon Macey, he shares a rivalry with) and lost leadership. He has had romantic relationships with Lori Angel (books 1-5) and Calista Cross (Book 6-End). In the first book, while voting for Team Leader, he voted for Eddie Nelligan (partly as a joke, because Eddie was apparently an unfit leader, but Ben could not vote for himself). Later, after losing leadership, he votes for his ex-girlfriend, Lori.
His region, white, extends from Eastern Europa, including some former Soviet Satellites, all the way to the shores of the Pacific. His field handler and cover identity remain unmentioned. He is based in New Moscow, and is assigned to recover an Alien Device from Vlad Tepesch, who used minions to steal it from the moon as a weapon against the Western Powers. His mission objective is to get rid of the starstone, not to get rid of Tepesch, though he ends up resolving to do so anyway after witnessing how Wallachia is ruled by fear and oppression. He fails to save Tolly Porter, a member of EXIST (a Deveraux suborganization created after the Diluvian incident, which specializes in examining extra terrestrial threats) from suffocating after he runs out of oxygen.
He is known for getting at least one line in all 12 spy high books. His solo novel, Benjamin White, is the third in Series Two. Ben is absorbed into the Starstone as alternative energy in Ben White. He returns in Calista Green thanks to Adam Thornchild (a cyborg)'s matter converter machine. In Agent Orange, he is the joint-last to be pixellated and deleted from the system along with Jake. They were on the stairs going to Deveraux's rooms, and a shock blast nicks his arm at the same time a pulse blast grazes Jake's leg. They charge them as they become pixellated to give Bex more time...but not before their differences are resolved.
Ben is focused, determined, and smart. He is fiercely competitive and at times arrogant, though this changes after The Soul Stealer (AKA Blood Relations).
[edit] Lori Angel
Codename: Angel Blue--Region Blue
Lori Angel is regarded as the Spy High series' Mary-Sue. She has no known middle name, and has long blonde hair and blue eyes. Parents names are unknown, but she had a steady family according to an interview with author A.J. Butcher[citation needed]. She has no known siblings. Lori's birthday is never mentioned in the book, although it is listed on the website as January 3rd. The website says that she is Canadian, but the books never reference this. Lori has the second highest aggregate score in the history of the college. Lori passes her examinations, probably second to Ben in exam results.
Lori is team leader for the second half of Soul Stealer, the entirety of Annihlation Agenda and the entirety of Series Two where it is applicable. Her region, Blue, is on the West Coast of the United States, and presumably some parts of South America. Her field handler is called Luanne "Shades" Carmody. Luanne now has substitute eyes - one functions as a computer and radar, the other fires laser bolts. Lori's cover job is being both a dance instructor and a partying surfer girl. She is based in Los Angeles, California. Her assignment is to prevent an assassination on President Graveney Westwood, which is being orchestrated by the Judson siblings, who are instrumental in worldwide Arms manufacture and are also very rich. Nobody dies on her watch, though her boyfriend Robbie "Casino" Royal does get injured.
Lori is mentioned at least once in each book. Lori's book, Angel Blue, is the second in Series Two. Lori has had relationships with Benjamin Stanton (Books 1-4), Simon Macey (at the same time as Ben in Book 2), Jake Daly (Books 5-6), various Surfer boys (she is dating a boy called Brad on the night she finds Simon Macey dead), and finally, Robbie "Casino" Royal (Lori Angel). Lori has no rivalries, save with villains and Simon Macey (after her fleeting relationship with him). Lori unanimously gains leadership after Ben loses it. Lori's family is not necessarily rich, but they are relatively well off. She casts her votes in the leadership polls (in chronological order) for Ben and Jake. She is the third-last to die in Agent Orange, just before Ben and Jake. She is scratched by Modrussa in the cyber-warp which is in the catacombs under the Kraznova, seen in Benjamin White.
[edit] Jake Daly
Codename: Jake Black Region Black(?) + Black Ops
Jake is angsty, though some like this character trait which gives him at least some depth. He has no known middle name. He has a tangle of black hair, and intense dark eyes. His parents names are George and Liza, and has a younger sister named Beth. His birthday is February 28th. He is American, born in the Domes (see below). Jake gains one vote in both team leader votes - the first is from Cally in Book One, the second in Book 5 from Lori. In Edward Red, it mentions one of the regions being Black, but later on in Jake Black, Jake joins the Black Ops, a group with agents who think Deveraux's methods are 'soft' and killing the opponent would be a better idea. After he exits the Black Ops, he has no cover identity or job. His new region, Black, is not specific in any book. In the Black Ops, his assignment is to kill Sicarius, leader of an apocalyptic terrorist group called the Bringers of the Night. In order to join this Black Ops, in coordination with Deveraux, Jake stages himself walking away from a falling person. This 'person' however is an animate, but the consequence of not preventing a preventable death leads Jake to be mindwiped (This is what the rest of the Bond Team believes at first, however, the mindwipe contraption was a fake, so Jake could join the Black Ops). Jake has to go undercover in Aquatraz prison to make contact with a caught Bringer called Null, who turns out to be Sicarius himself. Jake is tempted to let Sicarius die, like his mission said, but he cannot. Deveraux understands this and returns Jake to be a regular spy for Spy High.
Despite murderous instincts, Jake never allows anybody to die. There is two exceptions: Kim Tang sacrifices herself for him, and Talon, the killer of Jennifer Chen, eventually falls off a building refusing Jake's help. Jake is mentioned at least once in each book. His book, Jake Black, is the Fifth and Penultimate book in Series Two. Jake has had relationships with Jennifer Chen and Lori Angel. He and Cally nearly go out, and he rejects a girl called Dark in Jake Black. Jake never leads the team, but demonstrates possible leadership qualities when he is not working with the leader at the time. Jake's rivalries are with Ben Stanton and Simon Macey, as well as the villains. Jake has lived in an impoverished background (the Domes) until he was selected. He is quite poor. He casts his votes in the leadership polls (in chronological order) for Ben and Lori. He and Ben are the last to go in Agent Orange...not before they resolve their differences.
[edit] Jennifer Chen
Codename: none allocated
Jen shows a lot of potential for growth as a character, but unfortunately dies after only two and a half books. Jen has no known middle name. She has long dark hair and green eyes. Her parents names are not given, and she has a little brother named Shang. They are all killed by Talon for not paying protection from his gang, the Serpents. This happens prior to the story. Her birthday is November 17th. She is a Chinese-American, born in undertown LA. She has the best martial artist in the history of Spy High. She is killed before she can pass examinations and never gained a single vote in the one leadership poll she was alive for. Because she never graduated, she is never given a region colour. However, being replaced by Rebecca Deveraux, who was later allocated orange, would lead us to presume she would be Orange had she not been killed. Jen had a relationship with Jake when she died. Her obvious big rivalry is with Talon. In book 4, she is cloned and is alive again, but kills herself once she finds out, taking clone Averill Frankenstein with her.
[edit] Calista Cross
Codename: Calista Green--Region Green
Cally is a tough character, and seems to have some consistency throughout. She is regarded as very whiny in her book, Calista Green. However, her behaviour can be blamed on the apparent death of her boyfriend in his solo book, Benjamin White. She has no known middle name. She is an African-American, with her black hair in dreadlocks and green eyes. She was adopted at a young age and was given the surname "Cross" due to the cross necklace she was wearing. In Calista Green, her parents' names Colby and Simone Lane. Her mother's maiden name is Halliday. She is the best computer hacker in the history of Spy High and is the second best Sky-Biker after Eddie.
Region Green covers Japan and China and some more of Asia. Her first field handler is Mei Ataki, but she is replaced in Calista Green by young Jimmy Kwan. Her supposed cover identity is to work in "The Shop", her base of operations. Based in Hong Kong. Her assignment is to investigate Thornchild industries, after Professor Werner Wagner gets killed. She cannot activate the Guardian Star's tractor beam in time to save Jen and Frankenstein in book 4 of series 1. Cally gets mentioned in all the books. Her Series 2 book, Calista Green, is the fourth book in the series. Cally had a crush on Jake in Frankenstein Factory. She doesn't have a relationship with anybody save Ben, who she goes out with for the last seven books of the series. Her votes for Team Leader (in chronological order) went to Jake and Lori. She is the first to go in Agent Orange, when she steps on a metal plate near the temporal lobe of the villain's "brain", which runs her through with a laser bolt and pixellates her.
[edit] Edward Nelligan
Codename: Edward Red--Region Red
Eddie Nelligan acts largely as the comic relief, though in Edward Red he finally proves his worth as a spy. He has no known middle name. His hair is bright red. He is described as having a round face and being skinny. His Parents' names are not given. However, one is tall and thin (presumably his father), the other is short and plump (presumably his mother). He has no known siblings. Eddie's birthday is April 1st, April Fool's Day. He is of Irish heritage, presumably born in Ireland. He is the Best Sky Biker in Spy High history. He won the Under-18 European Sky Bike division and Oahu Cup 2064 . Before Bex came along he was last in every other area of study. Gains one vote from Ben in the first leadership vote by Ben, which is more tactical than anything. His region, Red, is based in London (Camden Town, to be precise), and Westminster covering all of Europa/Europe). His field handler is Bowler. His cover job and identity is as a Sky Bike mechanic. His assignment in Edward Red is to stop the Terrorist Group Albion from launching another strike, after they destroy the Channel Bridge. Ultimately, he has to stop Bartholomew Knight.
Eddie is mentioned in all books. His Series Two Book, Edward Red, is the first in Series Two. Eddie fancies everybody. He is especially in love with Bex. There's a hint of a relationship there at the end of the Annihilation Assassination, but it's gone by Edward Red. In Edward Red, he dates Bella, Boudica Knight, and Rose Warwick. He has only one rivalry with Frankie Garvey (who was quite similar to Ben). Although it appears that he is disliked by his teammates, it is apparent that they don't know what they would do without him. His votes went to Ben and Lori. He is second to go in Agent Orange by jumping in front of Bex.
[edit] Rebecca "Bex" Deveraux
Codename: Agent Orange--Region Orange
Bex Deveraux joins Bond Team as Bex Dee to remove insinuation that she is only here because of her father. She is a very strong person and second only to Eddie in terms of comedic value. She has no known middle name. She is known for her multicoloured hair and lots of piercings. Her mother is dead and her father, Jonathan Deveraux, was also thought to be dead, though it later turn out he has been virtualised. No known siblings. She is born September 3, 2048 in America. In Ben's analysis of her in Book 4, she is weak and the lowest on the Bond Team. She is known for quick thinking and always has a laser-stud handy. Passes Exams - 54% lowest, 88% highest. Aggregate is 70%. She never gains any votes in Team Leader polls.
Region Orange is based in Cairo, Egypt. Her field handler is Anwar Saddiqi. No cover job or identity is supplied. Her assignment becomes taking down her own father, since he is trying to turn the world into zombies. She is mentioned in all books after her introduction in Book 4. Her Series Two Book, Agent Orange, is the last book in Series 2 and Spy High as a whole. Only has a brief affair with Eddie, but the relationship has disappeared by Edward Red, somehow. A fleeting relationship with Simon Macey, as well, but other than that there's nothing. Her only rivalry is with Eddie for a little of Annihilation Agenda, and, occasionally, her father. She votes for Lori, in the second election. She confronts and ultimately defeats her father, who is then transformed into an animate with less power than before.
[edit] Solo Team of 2064
Only two members are truly known, they are Simon Macey and Sonia Dark. In Chaos Connection Simon and Sonia are dating even though it looks at first Simon likes Lori, though this turns out to be a deception. There are 3 other members of Solo Team that are known only by last name - the final member remains unknown; they are Huxley, Johns, and Conrad.
[edit] Simon Macey
Codename: Simon Grey
Simon is conniving and manipulative, though displays some decent qualities in both Angel Blue and The Chaos Connection. No known middle name. No description really given, except he has cold eyes, and is good-looking. Sneers a lot. Parents never mentioned. Presumably he has parents, since there is a reference to them in Paranoia Plot (besides, it's not really possible to exist without them, is it?). No known siblings. Birthday not mentioned, nor supplied by the website. Presumably American. A very good agent - can compete with Ben on the wall, at the very least. Passes exams, but loses a bet with Cally and Ben and has to run three times naked around the quad. Presumably gains at least two votes in team leader polls. Job allocated is grey. No field handler. He travels a lot. His job is to make sense of communications from around the world and help put a stop to any threats to it. His current assignment is to work out who is going to assassinate the president. He lets himself die, but nobody else. Mentioned in the entirety of Series 1, and Angel Blue in series 2. He doesn't have a series 2 book. He dies within 100 pages of Angel Blue. He has a relationship with Sonia Dark, which presumably ends after Chaos Connection when he uses her to prevent himself getting hit by the Stasis Bolts in Last Team standing. Very fleeting relationship with Bex and Lori. He's the leader of Solo Team for the entirety of the first series. Rivalries with Diana Judson, Benjamin Stanton, Jake Daly, and Lori Angel (post Chaos Connection). Never interacts enough with the other three Bond Originals to be really called a rivalry, and very fleetingly dates Bex. Presumably he votes for Sonia Dark, though we never find out. He's dead by the time Agent Orange comes around.
[edit] Sonia Dark
Codename: Sonia Magenta
Little is known about her. She dates Simon Macey in the first two books until he uses her as a shield. She's known to be cruel just as Simon and the rest of the Solo team. Sonia supports Simon whole heartedly before he used her. She and the rest of her team comes to Simon's defenses even when he doesn't deserve it. Despite the fact that she no longer likes Simon, she knows that she'll eventually end up working on the same side with him after graduation. Sonia, however doesn't show up in any on the second books so we never really know what goes on after the first several missions.
[edit] Other students
[edit] Kate Taylor
Taylor is created by Kate Harrison, who won the Spy High hall of fame competition. Major role as a student in Agent Orange. She is taken over by Jonathan Deveraux, alias the Deliverer, and attempts to reveal the hiding location of Bond Team and several other teachers. She is later freed from Deveraux's control.She also has two known teamates Jerry, who is apparently trigger happy, and Olivia who is like the cally of the team.They are all on Hannay team.
[edit] Ty Brooke
Similar to Ben Stanton. Very arrogant, always bragged about what he'd do after graduation. Eventually was called to Grant's room for mind wiping, but tried to make a run for it. Made it out of the college but then ran into Keene, who "escorted" him to Grant's study where he was eventually mind wiped. Mentioned only in book 6.
[edit] The World of Spy High
[edit] Environment
The ozone layer has fully disintegrated in 2020 (Frankenstein Factory) but it is not mentioned what has replaced it in any novel. Due to increased pollution, also in 2020, farming was difficult. This led to the creation of Domes, large enclosed farms where the temperature, precipitation and every aspect of people's lives are controlled. There is no longer room for criminals on land, thus, prisoners are sent to penal satellites or jails on the bottom of the sea (Aquatraz). Motorcycles have been replaced by Sky-Bikes (electric motorcycles without wheels, using hover technology); cars by wheelesses; guns by pulse-rifles, stun-guns, and other electric weapons. There are also the invention of thermal clothes which can be set for ideal temperatures leading people to live in freezing Antarctica (Agent Orange).
[edit] Deveraux College
Deveraux College - the Deveraux Academy in the US books - was built by Mr. Jonathan Deveraux before his death. Situated north of Boston, USA, it is a large Gothic mansion-like building covered with ivy, surrounded by a lake, a golf course, and fields for sports complexes. There is a continuous hologramatic game of football being played to maintain the cover. The first floor of the college, home to ex-secret agent receptionist Violet Crabtree, is also filled with holograms of students. An elevator decorated to look like a study, descends to the heart of Spy High - a very technologically advanced floor containing the Intelligence Gathering Centre, hologym, virtual reality room and all the techs.
[edit] Staff

However, Professor Henry Newbolt (Gadge) was able to transfer Deveraux's cyber self into an animate.
