mso-fareast-language:EN-IN;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold" lang="EN-US">After being lashed by a
typhoon on their uncle^s ship, THE EXPEDIENT, intrepid siblings Becca and Doug
MacKenzie want nothing more than to escape from the volcanic island on which
they^re stranded and resume the search for their parents. But their uncle,
Captain MacKenzie, seems more concerned with the missing gyrolabe than their
missing mother and father, and he refuses to discuss the role the mysterious
Guild of Specialists played in their disappearance. As the formidable Kalaxx
warriors close in on their hidden cove, Becca and Doug unearth a riddle linked
to a 1533 painting, which may hold the key to the Guild^s dark secrets and to
finding their parents. But how can they possibly solve the puzzle and escape
with their lives — before their enemies attack?</span></p>
