| Publisher Description: This book is the sequel to "Austin" and the foundation stone for "Austin and the Lost Kingdom of Atlantis". Intended for readers over nine to adult, this classic adventure story is set in the present day and the Second World War. The gripping plot deals with spies, secret codes, and Austin's career in the Secret Service as part of a mysterious expedition to Atlantis to harness an awesome mystic force, known only to the ancients of Atlantis, which can both heal and destroy. The story glimpses a time when computer development was in its infancy, where mechanical computers look set to prevail, and where the horrific consequences of racial persecution are made real to young readers. |
