4-6Copernicus Legacy series.
Illustrated by
Bill Perkins.
Wade, Darrell, Becca, and Lily--Guardians of Copernicus's time machine--search for its fifth relic, pitted against Galina Krause and her evil Teutonic Order; and against vengeful Ugo Drangheta, a newcomer to the hunt. Da Vinci references abound, as do car chases and shootouts, riddles and ciphers. Lily's parents' possible divorce adds emotional turmoil. This installment feels overlong, but diehard fans won't mind.
