The second action-packed chiller in the supernatural series from bestselling author, Anthony Horowitz.
After his experiences at Raven's Gate, fourteen-year-old Matt Freeman thinks his days of battling evil are over. But he is pulled into another horrifying adventure when he discovers a second gate exists. Matt and his friend Richard travel to Peru and, assisted by a secret organisation known as the Nexus, follow a series of clues to the gate's whereabouts. But there is a traitor in the Nexus... Richard is kidnapped. Matt manages to escape with the help of Pablo, a local boy. The pair travel to the Nazca desert and Matt realizes the horrifying truth: the Nazca lines are the second gate – it is about to open. But, this time, will he have the strength to prevent it?
Anthony Horowitz is a popular and prolific children's author who also writes extensively for TV. He is the author of the phenomenal Alex Rider series (winning the Red House Children's Book Award for "Skeleton Key") and "The Power of Five: Raven's Gate".
Review
"From the very first page this story snatches the reader into its clutches, squeezing ever tighter and refusing to let go until the last word on the last page...Horowitz has ramped up the action even further and infused it with magic, myth, mystery and unimaginable menace, all set against the fascinating backdrop of an almost lost civilisation. A fabulous read for kids who like their action turbo-charged." The Sunday Tasmanian
