Uvula Publishing presents the fifth volume in the Rick Brant Electronic Adventure stories-- The Whispering Box Mystery. As The Whispering Box Mystery gets underway, we find Rick and Scotty in an unfamiliar position: on the outside looking in, as Rick's father and scientist friends work on a secret government project. The Spindrift Island leader, Hartson Brant, had always implicitly trusted Rick and Scotty before, but ever since a government spook named Steve Ames came to him with details of a national threat, Hartson has refused to tell Rick and Scotty anything. It's a bitter pill to swallow, considering their record of saving Spindrift's projects from sabotage. It turns out that there is a new, dangerous weapon is in the hands of the wrong people. As usual, things get very dangerous, very fast for the boys as they discover the thieves/spies really want no interference in their plans!
