Reseña del editor

Young Mark Gayton is obsessed with archaeology. His idea of a really splendid holiday is not sunbathing or relaxing on the beach but exploring ancient ruins. So when his parents announce the family is going to the Greek island of Kos for their annual holiday, Mark is over the moon. However, he gets more than he bargained for when investigating the excavations at the site of the Roman settlement on Kos. Suddenly transported back in time, Mark discovers he is a stranger in a very strange land. Not only that - he quickly becomes the chief suspect in the theft of a valuable jewel and things begin to look very bad for him as he is brought before the prefect of the town and confined to prison to await trial. Meanwhile his mysterious disappearance throws his family into consternation: for Jeff and Jenny Gayton this is every parent's holiday nightmare. Despite the best efforts of the island's tourist police it would seem their son has completely vanished. What can the Gaytons do to find Mark? What can he do to escape from custody, clear his name and get back to the twenty-first century? Paul Nivek's latest novel is an exciting and stimulating book which will delight young readers with a taste for history and adventure.
