"This all-out action adventure melds myth, history and ancient magic"
Steeped in history, mystery and ancient magic, The Terracotta Horse — the latest book in The Three Hares series — is a rip-roaring adventure for readers who love fast-paced action with interesting characters and oodles of atmosphere.
The story begins with Salma desperate to secure a prestigious red-black belt in taekwondo: “The red signified that the belt-holders were aware of their skills and recognised the need for self-control. She had that! As for the black, it represented indifference to darkness and fear. Well, she wasn’t afraid of anything, least of all this exam.”
Salma’s fearlessness and commitment turn out to be essential to when she’s conveyed from the British Museum to another time, another place, and a very real battle. Along with Sara and Sanjeev, whom readers will remember from the previous novels, Salma is transported to Xi'an, where a wealthy gangster has kidnapped a leading scientist in order to achieve immortality.
And so a high-stakes story of survival unfolds at tremendous pace, with cutting-edge genetics and ancient medicine playing pivotal roles in this classic battle between good versus evil.
Salma Mansour is a black belt in taekwondo, a skill she will need to stay alive. One second, she's in the British Museum, the next a thousand years away in a battle between the Saxons and Vikings. And she's supposed to help?
