The Isle of Intrigue (Volume 4)By Aaron M. Zook, Jr.Description:On a foggy Okinawan night, a stranger disrupts the Zanadu family’s first island-unique dinner at a seafood restaurant. His violent search for a flying microbot leaves the family devastated, with Gabe and Alex Zanadu’s mother unconscious on the floor. An Okinawan government official’s son, Mike, whose father was also assaulted, leads the boys in a search for the fleeing thugs. Unsuccessful in bringing the attackers to justice, Gabe and Alex, their two dogs, Thunder and Lightning, and their new friends, Mike and his older sister, Crystal, find themselves hunted by the Okinawan and mainland-Japan mafia. When the Japanese mafia grabs Alex and Crystal, the race is on for Gabe and Mike, along with the dogs, to find and free their siblings before they meet an untimely end. Book Takeaway:No greater love has any man than that he should lay down his life for his friend. Caring about someone means taking action and standing with them during the trials of life. Why the author wrote this book:This is part of a continuing saga where two boys, raised up in a Christian home-schooling home, have to solve mysteries and battle evil forces in the world. This book takes the boys one step closer to understanding why they need to have a solid foundation in Christian spiritual matters, to include a born-again relationship with Jesus as Lord and Savior. In this book, the boys find while solving a mystery that the American and Oriental cultures differ greatly in how they see the world and how they respond to life's circumstances. |
