Quest for the king – John White Superprijs

Beschrijving

Archives of Anthropos, 5

When they travel to Anthropos to search for their missing uncle and his bride, the cousins become part of a fierce battle between Gaal and the evil sorcerer who seeks to destroy him.

It was supposed to be a big celebration. John McFarland (uncle to Wesley, Kurt, Lisa and Mary) and his long lost Eleanor were getting married. But a typhoon kept nearly every one of their friends and family from attending the wedding ceremony in Hong Kong. And by the time everyone did arrive for the reception at a downtown hotel, John and Eleanor had disappeared without a trace!

While their parents and the Hong Kong authorities set about searching for the missing couple, Mary, Wesley, Kurt and Lisa begin their own investigation. Convinced that John and Eleanor have been transported to the mystical kingdom of Anthropos, the four amateur sleuths hit a dead end. How can they get to Anthropos? And once they get there, how will they know where to look?

As Book 5 in John White’s Archives of Anthropos unfolds, the sleuths are confronted with an even bigger challenge than finding Uncle John and Eleanor. In Anthropos an evil sorcerer plots the destruction of his eternal enemy–a tiny infant who (if he survives) is destined to become King of Anthropos and conqueror of Lord Lunacy.
