Altar of Shulaani (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798215028612)

As the son of an archaeologist, Mike often visits fascinating digs and meets interesting people. About the only thing he doesn't approve of in archaeology is learning Latin! Unfortunately, being accident prone, he regularly falls into time warps, intergalactic space and danger. In his journeys, he found his alien friend Alinea and an odd pet he calls Beeper. As the three unearth horrifying secrets and narrowly escape the sometimes precarious situations they get themselves into, their friendship grows far beyond the boundaries of space and time.

Mike welcomes the chance to spend his holidays with his father on an archaeological dig. But when he stumbles through a time warp into an ancient world, tracing the ancient caravan routes across the baking desert turns into an entirely different kind of adventure...
