Saboteur - Ann Massey

'Saboteur' is a story about two Australian Teenagers, Mo and Beth, who find wreckage from the International Space Station and make a startling and dangerous discovery. They are pursued by the military and by villains who will stop at nothing to achieve their ends. Their plan to protect society from this danger is hampered by the complex relationship of a boy and a girl from totally different worlds and a secret they must keep forever to themselves. The fast moving and action-packed thriller makes it clear that hope for mankind lies not with scientists and heads of states but with the youth of the world.

Mo, Geronimo Jones, blames himself for the death of his best mate in a high-speed car chase which results in him being sent on a youth rehabilitation program. None too thrilled with his new life as a jackeroo on an isolated sheep station on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert, he still has to stick it out for six months by order of the Juvenile Justice Department. Things start to get worse when his boss flies off in the middle of the night to check on a station hand and Mo witnesses the International Space Station crash back to Earth. Two days later, he hasn't returned and Mo heads off to a neighbouring property for help. Fleeing from a bush fire sparked by the crash, he discovers the wreckage from the space station and a flask - inside is a secret so damaging to world governments, it must be suppressed - at all costs. Mo joins forces with Beth, a stuck-up girl living on a neighbouring station, and the only member of her family to evade capture by mysterious black-clad gunmen. Antagonists from their very first meeting, the warring teens are swept into the realm of an arms dealer who will stop at nothing to get his hands on a biocide, lethal enough to kill one million people, from a single, solitary gram. On a hair-raising and breath-holding flight Mo and Beth go from enemies to frenemies to friends and almost ... something else.
