The Network is an organization in The Hardy Boys Casefiles book series.
The Network is a top-secret government agency in the same branch as the CIA and FBI, but even to most people in those organizations, The Network is unknown. After the events of Casefiles #6 The Crowning Terror and Ultra-Thriller #2 The Alien Factor, The Network took over control of everything that Espionage Resources (another top-secret government agency) ran, due to high corruption in that agency.
Frank and Joe Hardy (the Hardy boys of the title) first found out about The Network (in Dead on Target) when they met one of the agency’s best agents, the Gray Man. At the time the Hardys were investigating a car bombing that had killed Joe’s girlfriend, Iola Morton. The Gray Man offered to help find the person who planted the bomb, the Hardys accepted his offer and with his help Frank and Joe learned that it was not a person that planted the bomb, but The Network’s worst enemy - a world wide group of terrorist group that calls themselves The Assassins. Since then the Hardys have worked with the Network on many cases.

Famous quotes containing the words network and/or hardy:
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (18081855)
“A lover without indiscretion is no lover at all. Circumspection and devotion are a contradiction in terms.”
—Thomas Hardy (18401928)
