5 primary works • 6 total works
Book 1
A wild ride through strange galaxies and unexpected adventures. But watch your step -- and don't step in anything gross or smelly along the way!
The Outernet is a web of intergalactic computer networks linked through Servers on different planets.
As the series opens, we discover that the evil Tyrant and his henchmen (the FOES) are trying to take over the Outernet and use its powers to control the galaxy.
Our heroes, including several not-so-lucky Earth kids, accidentally connect to the Outernet via a lost Server. They must work with the Friends of the Outernet to keep freedom and liberty in the Galaxy. They are assisted (and often hindered) by a hilarious dog and cat team who are disguised agents of the Friends and the FOES.

Book 2
Jack, Merle and Loaf are dead. Or they will be any minute. Loaf has been using the Server to try and make some money over the Outernet. Yes, that's the Server the they weren't supposed to be using in case The Tyrant had a trace on it. So now there's a Bug running round the airbase like a rhinoceros having a really bad day. They've got to choose-give up and left. The Tyrant takes over the universe, or start saving the world...Couldn't we just pretend it's not happening...?
Book 3
Jack, Merle and Loaf are on a mission-it's up to them to defend the galaxy from the attack of the Tyrant. OK-but it's a bit difficult to be heroic when you're all trussed up, ready to be a juicy snack for a bunch of very friendly alien spiders...
Book 4
Jack, Merle and Loaf have a mission. And they're already sick of it. Which is bad news, because now that the Server is equipped for time travel, this mission is going to happen over and over again-until they actually manage to get it right...
Book 5
The dramatic conclusion to this exciting series. The Tyrant has kidnapped Jack's parents, and it's time for the final showdown. But how can three kids and two shapeshifting aliens take on the might of The Tyrant and his forces? Plus they have to deal with the crazed Captain Zeno (still in pursuit of the Great White Worm) and Zodiac Hobo is back with a vengeance.
