Here the reader is introduced to Scarlett Adams, 'Scar', the fifth member of the Five of Power. However, she is sent to Hong Kong, right where the Old Ones have set up headquarters... It is an excellent read and the pace is frenetic. It is very hard to put down. ( ) 15-year old Scarlett Adams goes through a portal in a London church, ending up in a monastery in the Ukraine, thereby revealing herself to the Old Ones, who want to capture the five Gatekeepers. After thwarting an attack in Peru, the other Gatekeepers divide, with Matt and Scott heading to London, where they just miss Scarlett, who is called to Hong Kong by her father, who works for Nightrise Corp. Hong Kong is being poisoned by the Old Ones, and Scarlett is captured. Matt and Scott have to earn the assistance of the Triads, in a daring rescue, while Scarlett summons the Dragon... The fifth member of the Gatekeepers is about to be discovered: Scarlett Adams, the adopted Asian daughter of divorced British parents. Scarlett's father works for Nightrise in Hong Kong, and when she is accidentally revealed to be one of the Gatekeepers, he sends for her. Matt, Scott and Richard travel from Nazca in Peru to try to stop her from going there, and they are hounded by the Old Ones every step of the way. The Gatekeepers powers are increasing, but Matt worries that they will never be able to match the powers of the Old Ones, especially since Scarlett seems to have no real power at all other than the ability to predict the weather. Hong Kong is where the Old Ones have set up operations, and their presence and their minions is slowly poisoning the city and killing its people -- turning it into a necropolis: a city of the dead. Can Matt and Scott find a way to rescue Scarlett from Nightrise and avoid being killed or captured by the Old Ones? Lots of the trademark Horowitz action and suspense, good for 6th grade and up! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
