Publisher's Summary:
Desiree leaves her roommate, Elle, to go on a scientific expedition with Theo and Risk. They're drawn into a war for untold riches and an illicit trade that transforms their lives. From the sunny Caribbean to the frozen Thames with London covered in snow to exotic Casablanca, and from ancient palaces to English manor houses, their adventures take them beyond anything they could have expected.
Members Reviews:
A colourful and informative story that would make a splendid film with its large cast of characters
The large cast of characters and the scenes in which they travel - from London, Central America and to Morocco - make this a very colourful and informative story with historical references that send one reaching for the research books to gain more insight into that period. It needs one's full attention as there is much detail spanning the Spanish Conquest led by Hernan Cortes and his war against Moctezuma of the Aztecs with the support of the Mayan warriors to the timeline and the connection with the Royal Observatory in London . Some of these characters then visit South Africa's Observatory and are caught up in the Anglo-Boer War in the author's title, 'Crossing the Vaal'.
