The Lab (novel)

''The Lab'' is Australian writer Jack Heath's debut novel, first released as a paperback in 2006.
Jack Heath started writing The Lab when he was 13〔http://www.abc.net.au/rollercoaster/therap/interviews/s1614526.htm Interview with The Rap, retrieved 30 March 2010〕 and attending Lyneham High School. Jack started writing The Lab to impress a girl at school who liked reading. He finished the first draft at the age of 17.〔http://kids-book-review.blogspot.com/2009/09/interview-with-action-author-jack-heath.html Interview with Kids' Book Review, retrieved 30 March 2010〕 He kept his age a secret from the publishers until he knew they were definitely interested. Jack was told to expand the first draft from 40,000 words to 90,000, but when the project was moved to another department he was told to then shorten it to 70,000.
Only a few people Heath knows (one being his brother Tom) have a copy of the 90,000 word edition.
''The Lab'' was published as a young adult fiction action story. It was released on 1 April 2006, and was published by Pan Macmillan Australia.〔http://www.panmacmillan.com.au/display_title.asp?ISBN=9780330422314&Author=Heath,%20Jack Pan Macmillan website, retrieved 30 March 2010〕
Two sequels to ''The Lab'', ''Remote Control'' and ''Third Transmission'', were released in 2007 and 2009 respectively.
==Plot summary==
''The Lab'' is an action book, whose protagonist is a 16-year-old superhuman, named Agent "Six of Hearts". Six was created to be the ultimate soldier by a group called The Lab which is a ruthless division of the company ChaoSonic.
In this futuristic setting there is only one known city left in the world, and it is run by ChaoSonic. ChaoSonic took over the city and has obliterated all their competitors and enemies. Six is an agent of a vigilante organization called "The Deck" which survives by attacking ChaoSonic subsidiaries that are acting unethically, arresting the people involved and then selling off their assets.
Only the King of Hearts, who saved Six from the Lab as a child, and is now his boss, is aware of the fact that Six is a superhuman developed by ChaoSonic. Six and King keep this a secret, as the Spades, another division of the Deck, would imprison Six if they knew he was a ChaoSonic creation, in case he was a threat. Six is the best agent in the Deck, having a 100% mission success rate.
The Deck then begins to investigate "The Lab" and King gives Six the assignment to stop anyone from discovering his true identity. On his mission he meets Kyntak. Kyntak is genetically identical to Six, and was designed in the Lab's 'Project Falcon' alongside him. In a twisted way, they are brothers. This discovery prompts Six to reexamine his life and reevaluate his own identity.
