18 videos • 30 views • by Brad Flickinger The Cipher Atlas – Series Description Zachary Merritt thought he was just a teacher. Armed with nothing more than a satchel full of tech gear and a fierce belief in the potential of young minds, Zack travels the world helping international schools unlock the power of student-led learning. But when an ordinary project in Istanbul unearths a centuries-old cipher—and a quiet war to control the future of education—Zack and his students find themselves on the frontlines of a global conspiracy. Each book in **The Cipher Atlas** transports readers to a new country and culture, where Zack partners with a team of brilliant, diverse students to tackle real-world challenges through technology and innovation. But just as solutions seem within reach, sabotage strikes—forcing Zack and his students to dive into hidden histories, uncover buried truths, and decode the forces determined to keep the next generation passive and powerless. What begins as isolated incidents slowly weaves into a chilling revelation: a secretive organization known only as **The Foundation** has been manipulating education systems worldwide, ensuring that creativity is stifled, self-determination is crushed, and young people are distracted into oblivion. Betrayed by those he trusted most, hunted across continents, and haunted by his own fears of inadequacy, Zack must evolve—from the fun-loving, student-centered mentor he’s always been into the resilient leader his students truly need. Along the way, he forges unexpected lifelong friendships, faces crushing betrayals, and discovers that the greatest cipher of all isn’t hidden beneath ancient cities—it’s the battle for the human spirit itself. Spanning ten breathtaking adventures—from the shadowy tunnels of Istanbul to the bright streets of Nairobi, the ancient temples of Kyoto to the icy frontiers of Reykjavík—**The Cipher Atlas** is a heart-pounding, globe-trotting mystery series that challenges readers to think critically, dream bigger, and fight for a future where every voice matters. Unlock the secrets. Rewrite the future. The world is waiting.
