Plot summary

This book opens with Frank, Joe & Chet being involved in a traffic accident with a Mack truck. As the car is damaged, the drivers of the Mack truck offer the boys a lift to the next town. Unfortunately the truck gets hijacked by a gang and the drivers locked up in the trailer. Later Mr. Hardy tells the boys that there have been a number of hijackings against that firm, the Ortiz Trucking Company, and that he's going to Washington the following day to help the FBI investigate the hijackings.

Initially, Frank, Joe and Chet work undercover as drivers at the Ortiz Trucking Company before Joe finds himself hijacked by one of the gang. Tracking the gang down, Frank, Joe & Chet stow away on a ship named the Mary Malone and find themselves facing the gang, a group of corrupt officials who plan to use nuclear weapons on every major city on Earth to take over the world.

gollark: I emailed god, but no response back yet.
gollark: If the software updates are made on a different continent and you can apply them in less than about 50ms, you don't even need the time travel - just transmit them directly to your computer via a trans-crustal neutrino beam. Neutrinos travel only very slightly slower than light, and can take a more direct path because they don't interact much with matter, while the fibre-optic lines for internet traffic only let light go at 0.6c or something, and use less direct paths, and have routing overhead.
