Agent Six is hunting for three people.
His baby sister, who’s been missing for months. A dangerous prisoner, who has escaped from the Deck’s cells. And Six’s twin brother, who was abducted before his eyes under terrifying circumstances.
The ransom is 100 million credits. Six is left with only hours to stage a rescue before the deadline – but the culprit is a psychopath far stranger and more powerful than anyone Six has faced before…
Shortlisted for Best Science Fiction Novel of the Year at the 2007 Aurealis Awards.
“Every author who wants to write series needs to read this. When I closed the covers, I was tingling all over, the ending with the villain was that good. I will never deprive myself of thrillers ever again. It’s not just the pow-pow-boom action — it’s the cunning minds on both sides, the subterfuge and secrets, the plans within plans.”
– Eden, Pass the Chiclets
“Explosive, high throttle adventure that will thrill his growing legion of fans.”
– ABC Radio Canberra.
“A rattling good action story, with a strong plot and good characterisation.”

“With Remote Control Heath has cemented his place as a young writer of true talent. He has once again delivered the goods to his readers with a story that is both exhilarating and unpredictable.”
– Karin van Heerwaarden, The Blurb.
“Big improvement on the first, and that’s saying something. I love this book.”
– A.K., Amazon review.
“To no one’s surprise, Remote Control is just as fast paced as its prequel, The Lab. Readers are immediately immersed in a sea of nonstop action that keeps things interesting.”
– The Book Muncher.
“A great sequel to The Lab, lots of action and an interesting end . . . “
– Mrs Hanham, Winthrop and Somerville’s Library.
“Of course I think it’s good. Why would you even ask me that? Wait – this isn’t going on the website, is it?”
– Jack Heath, here.
Those are just the favourable reviews, of course. If you’re searching for unfavourable reviews of Jack’s books, then his official website seems like a ridiculous place to look.
Still, we are a little bit ridiculous here. Try the critical critics section.
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 this site 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.
