The fifth title in the number one bestselling CHERUB series! James and his fellow cherubs infiltrate an Australian cult, in the most exciting CHERUB story yet.

When CHERUB uncovers a link between eco-terrorist group Help Earth and a wealthy religious cult known as The Survivors, James Adams is sent to Australia on an infiltration mission.

It's his toughest job so far. The Survivors' outback headquarters are completely isolated, and the cult's brainwashing techniques mean James is under massive pressure to conform.
