It's the last day of term. Three lads are clearing out their lockers, organising a sleepover and hatching a plan to spatter a girl with rancid coleslaw. But things aren't what they seem. One boy's father is a member of Dark Sun, a criminal organisation dealing in nuclear weapons technology, while another is a CHERUB agent sent to stop him. CHERUB kids live in the real world, slipping under adult radar and getting information that sends criminals and terrorists to jail. For official purposes, these children do not exist.

A somewhat substantial short story showing Rat and then later Andy helping British Intelligence invade the really cool-sounding Dark Sun nuclear organisation. This is everything you think of when you first hear about CHERUB - the kids befriend the children of a nuclear parts engineer, and at a sleepover carry out mission objectives. As Rat/ Greg enjoys the last-day-of-school and gets involved in some combat to help his target, Andy's gruelling punishment reminds readers of the details regarding CHERUB's training course. What was interesting was seeing the range of technology used, including marked drinks as sedatives, sleep gas, lock guns and all the computer software (keystroke loggers, file backups and CAD!). It all seems typical until a twist, and this makes for some exciting pages and an absurdly funny ending.
