Ben and April Webster never knew their parents were scientists on a secret mission until they disappeared. Now what awaits them and their friends is a nemesis so deadly that even Uncle Henry can't protect them. In this science-fiction, adventure novel, the search continues as the group travels from the lost world of Atlantis, to outer space, to an IMAX theater in the Smithsonian. The bond of the diverse friendship is tested against many obstacles as the kids continue to fight to save a universe they are only just discovering. The story is embedded with science, history, sports, mystery, ethics, and culture. Plus there are location codes included that go to real places around the world.
A fin, exciting second installment in this series, involving Egyptian and Mesoamerican myth and the lost culture of Atlantis.
Also, like the first book, this is a well-made book, besides the excellent writing. The glossy pages are enjoyable to read and the book feels solid and heavy. The hard covers are printed with cover art (I always like that), and the inside of the dust jacket includes useful information and images.
The story moved a bit slower than the first book. However, the author does a great job of getting one to like the characters. I'll definitely read the next book.
