0763626341 For Joshua Mowll, it was the surprise of a lifetime. There, among the archives inherited from his great-aunt Rebecca MacKenzie, was a 1920s journal recounting the thrilling and dangerous adventures of 15-year-old Rebecca and her younger brother, Doug, in the wake of their parents' mysterious disappearance in the deserts of China. Now carefully re-created in a lavish volume -- complete with cloth binding and journal-style elastic clasp -- 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 volatile explosive called zoridium. By their saga's end, the intrepid duo has exposed a murder plot involving their parents and uncovered a high-minded secret society hidden from the world for hundreds of years. Interspersed are such "archival" elements as: # elaborate diagrams and maps; # vintage photos and illustrations; # documents with stamps, seals, and watermarks; # four full-color gatefolds, the largest a six-page foldout; # extensive appendices and notes; Painstakingly researched and packed with authentic detail, Operation Red Jericho is the first of three nonstop-action tales of intrigue by the first-time author Joshua Mowll -- historical fiction at its finest.
