His life changes when Anne Lindbergh offers him a month's wages to deliver a mysterious map case.

Nick continues to pursue his aviation dreams in "China Clipper." He's a high school senior, working part time at Pan Am's Clipper base. Several strange "accidents" cast suspicion on Nick and bring the FBI on the scene. Has Nick's old nemesis,Japanese master spy Miyazaki, returned? 

Nick and Miyazaki face off again in "Mission: Shanghai." Nick's recruited into the Office of Naval Intelligence, and Miyazaki is out to steal U.S. Naval radio codes.
