## Plot

300 Minutes of Danger follows two separate plot lines, one set a year after the other. 'Boarding School', 'Sub-Human', 'Nuclear Family', 'Chilling', 'Flyrus', and 'Space Race' are all the parts of the first plotline. The first plotline mostly follows a disease known as the Flyrus that is almost always fatal and can kill within half an hour.

The Flyus swept the country and while a cure was discovered fairly quickly, the vaccine took longer to make. The first story chronologically is 'Sub-Human' which follows a young boy named Otto forced to descend into a trench in the ocean to find a possible cure for the Flyrus from the sea-creatures who have grown immune to it. He finds a giant crocodile and other creatures which lead to the making of a cure. 'Space Race' is the next story. It tells the story of a girl named Jessie Pavel who was selected to go up to the 'Genesis III' space station by a company called 'Star-Tours' to show that space is safe for children. A hole is ripped in the hull of their ship, the 'Icarus' and one of the helmets is launched down to Earth. This helmet than causes a plane to crash in 'Boarding School', the next story. In this story, George is in a plane in Russia, about to go snowboarding when a round object; the helmet; is sucked into then engine and the plane crashes however George manages to escape. The next story is 'Nuclear Family' which follows Milla; possibly George's sister; at a radioactive lake in Russia with her parents when the plane crashes into the lake and the trio have to escape. Milla mentions in this story that 'a deadly virus was sweeping the country [back home]'.

The final two stories of this plotline are 'Chilling' and 'Flyrus' which happen simultaneously. 'Chilling' shows a young girl named Audrey helping to give vaccines for the Flyrus when a bomber with 'luminous blue eyes' blows up the van that the vaccines were being given in after it was crashed into by a car. 'Flyrus' is about a boy named Tony lining up for a Flyrus vaccine when someone crashes into the vaccination unit. He goes to help only to catch the Flyrus from the now dead driver and is forced to make to the hospital for treatment.

The second plotline consists of 'Reboot', 'Runaway Train', 'Poison', and possibly 'Inferno'. 'Reboot' and 'Runaway Train' are the first two being set at the same time. 'Reboot' is about a kid named Kim seeing two guys walk out of a bank, one with a shotgun. He calls the police but is then captured by the two criminals and thrown into their car boot. He finds a sharp object in the boot that he later finds out was a large ruby. He hears the criminals on the phone with their boss before they leave the car on a train track. Kim escapes the car boot and avoids being hit by a train being driven by a young girl, however, the gemstone gets shattered by the train. Then the two criminals are apprehended. 'Runaway Train' follows Kelli-Anne riding the train without a ticket because her phone and wallet were stolen. She hears the conductor make some kind of illegal deal over the phone before jumping of the train. Kelli-Anne has to drive the train by herself until it crashes into a car on the tracks. In 'Runaway Train', it is mentioned that the Flyrus happened a year ago. 'Poison' is about a boy named Nassim being poisoned by a tall, blue eyed man with a chipped tooth after being mistaken for someone named Kim. The poisoner says that they are looking for something called the 'Bloodstone' Nassim survives however the poisoner escapes. If 'Inferno' is part of this plotline in which it mostly likely is, it is set the night after 'Reboot' and 'Runaway Train'. 'Inferno' is about a girl named Liliana who is trapped in her nineth floor apartment while it is on fire. It is mentioned in this story that Liliana's parents are out because something was stolen from one of their safety deposit boxes, possibly being the bloodstone. However not confirmed in this book, this theory is confirmed in '300 Minutes of Mystery'.

## Trivia

* It is likely that this is the first book chronologically because it was the first released and it says it happened eight years before '300 Minutes of Mystery' in 'Superlaser'.
* Jessie, the main character from 'Space Race' makes a returning appearance in 'Three Bombs' from '500 Minutes of Danger'.

## Speculation

* It's likely that the bomber from 'Chilling' and the poisoner from 'Poison' are the same person considering they are described in the same way; being tall with luminous blue eyes.
	+ They are probably Mercer due to the fact he is also described in the same way in 'Code Purple' from '300 Minutes of Mystery'.
	+ If the bomber, the poisoner, and Mercer are all the same person it means that the boss from 'Reboot' and the man on the phone in 'Runaway Train' are also the same as them because in 'Superlaser' from '300 Minutes of Mystery' it explains that Mercer tried to steal a gem eight years prior, that being the second plotline from this book.
* It's possible that the giant crocodile in 'Sub-Human' is somehow related to the giant crocodile of '500 Minutes of Danger'
* It is a possibility that George from 'Boarding School' and Milla from 'Nuclear Family' are siblings based off of a line in 'Boarding School'
