"China Hands To Me " A green fog has engulfed the Wei River Valley. The First Emperor's tomb is mysteriously rumbling. The Big Goose Pagoda is glowing like a lighthouse. And to blame? A bunch of Americans stranded in the consulate at Bei-jing, who, at the end of the last installment, came bursting through a portal in the People's History Museum. "China Hands To Me " With that command, Rowden Gray has summoned his forces to return to the action - to the Dragon's Pool in the shadow of Her hem, where the Jade Owl's overlord commands an army of creatures, engineering the end of the world; or at least, the world, as we know it. In this last book of The Jade Owl Legacy, our mixed bag of adventurers face their greatest challenge. They must negotiate the perils of the People's government, the mysteries of the Palace of Broken Dreams, the dangers of the Ghost Lands and the mythic realm of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Their odyssey delivers them to the final showdown - the Battle of the Full Moon, where all mysteries are revealed and every threat is settled. What began as a Sinologist's dream converges on everyone's nightmare. The Jade Owl calls you, but so does the muster to arms. Heed them both, but answer only one. "China Hands To Me " The Jade Owl Legacy is a five book series. The first book (The Jade Owl) introduces a peculiar quest led by Professor Rowden Gray and a rag-tag team who follow a mysterious thread of instructions to thwart an ancient Chinese prophesy.
