Ash and Benjamin are teenage mercenaries.

They find stolen artefacts and return them to the owners - for a fee.

But when they receive an SOS from an imprisoned girl, they realise they're in over their heads. Because there are others looking. Corrupt governments. Ruthless corporations. Rogue assassins.

As these forces converge on where the girl is trapped - the headquarters of the world's biggest intelligence agency - Ash realises she's made a terrible mistake, one that may cost her and Benjamin their lives . . .

The new Ashley Arthur thriller.


Third Transmission


361 pages - 2009

A scientist has designed a new weapon.

One more dangerous than anything Agent Six has ever seen. It could wipe out him, the Deck, and anyone else who opposes ChaoSonic for good.

Six has to find the weapon, and destroy it. Because ChaoSonic can't always control their creations. He is living proof.

"His fourth high-adrenaline, all-action work-out. All of his novels race off the shelves."
-- Booktopia Buzz

"From the very first paragraph - opening with a strong female character to put Meyer's 'Bella' to shame - the reader is introduced to an action-packed, fantastical high-octane tale to keep the pages turning. Third Transmission leaves no doubt that Jack Heath is set to be the next Matthew Reilly."
-- Tara Moss, bestselling author of Siren

Money Run


258 pages - 2008

What would you do for $200 million?

Ashley Arthur is a teenage thief - the best there is. But when she tries to rob a billionaire of $200 million hidden somewhere in his building, she collides with an assassin who plans to kill him. Suddenly Ash is fighting for her life, and it seems the billionaire has a sinister agenda of his own . . .

"The impressive aspect of 22-year-old Jack Heath's latest book for young adults is its sheer inventiveness. ASIO should really give him a call."
-- Dianne Dempsey, The Age.

"The many plot twists keep everyone, most importantly the reader, guessing until the end. Bond without the sexism, Spy Kids without the childishness."
-- The Sunday Age

The Lab

The Lab


318 pages - 2006

Agent Six of Hearts is about to live his worst nightmare . . .

Agent Six is a teenage spy in the not-too-distant future. He's trying to keep his genetic-experiment origins a secret from the agency he works for, the Deck. But when they start investigating the corporation that created him, his life spins out of control.

"Prepare yourself for an adrenalin-filled read because The Lab pulls no punches from beginning to end."
-- The Blurb

"Spinning wheels, falling buildings, blazing guns, exploding helicopters and seaward-plunging cars bear out Jack Heath's publicity as the new Matthew Reilly; but there is evidence in this book that he could be better."
-- Val Kent, Victorian Association for Teachers of English.

We care about the environment - we don't want the world to turn into Jack's grim vision of it in the Six of Hearts series. So all books sold from the shop are printed on recyclable paper grown in sustainable forests, and packed in recycled biodegradable foam. When writing the originals, Jack avoids printing out drafts whenever possible (although some say he's just lazy.) Learn more ways you can save the world here.
