A mysterious guild... An ancient secret... An astonishing adventure...
Fifteen-year-old Rebecca and her younger brother, Doug, embark on a thrilling and dangerous adventure in the wake of their parents' mysterious disappearance in the deserts of China. The siblings' tale begins aboard the Expedient, their uncle's enigmatic research ship, and moves at a breathless pace through the streets of Shanghai and on to a terrifying island fortress. Along the way, Doug and Becca encounter an ancient order of Chinese mercenaries, a brutal pirate warlord, a feisty Texan heiress, and a stolen cache of a volatile explosive called zoridium.
Interspersed are archival elements such as elaborate diagrams and maps, vintage photos and illustrations, documents with stamps, seals, and color fold-outs.
