Ghosts of the Hindu Kush by Joe O'neill
A mad mystic, an infamous German pilot, deadly assassins, and a world at war. As they journey to the most dangerous place on earth, the kid guardians of the Red Hand legend face their most epic adventure yet.
After crossing the treacherous waters of the Black Sea, young adventurers Tariq, Aseem, and Fez dock their small sailboat in the Russian port city of Rostov-on-Don. Armed only with a charmed map, a legendary journal, and the lessons learned from countless skirmishes around the globe, they search the city for the solution to a mysterious clue--the word Marius scribbled on a scrap of paper. Little do they know the word will send them into the custody of an enigmatic explorer.and on a journey into the most dangerous place on earth.
Meanwhile, Margaret and Inez find themselves caught in a European countryside ablaze with the first World War. As Inez battles the horrors of the front line medical tents, Margaret dogfights an infamous German airman and emerges as the Allied Powers' most talented pilot. A political mission aims to reunite them with old friends in the Rif Mountains of Morocco, but all paths may ultimately lead to a mad Russian monk with supernatural powers.
Facing their most difficult and exciting challenge yet, the group will need to rely on courage and determination as they cross a war-torn world, face deadly assassins, struggle to survive harsh landscapes, and work to fulfill the Red Hand prophecy.
