The Circle of Gold
Sam rescued his father from Dracula's castle, but that doesn't mean their troubles are over. Now Allan Faulkner lies in a coma in the Sainte-Mary hospital, tossing about and muttering aloud about saving Sam's late mother. Sam has no choice but to go back in Time to see her. His inability to control his destination, however, means he journeys to ancient China, Renaissance Rome, and even 2025 – where he sees his own grave... Can Sam prevent this grisly ending and save his mother once and for all?

It's the first step in an adventure that will take him to ancient Egypt, World War I, even Dracula's castle – and a mystery that will end only when Sam saves his father, or loses him in time...
