Salk: The Antikythera (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798617787148)

Can Declan and Dalya find the Antikythera machine in time to defend against mass extinction on Earth?! The Salk adventures continue. Over two thousand years ago, a Roman cargo ship sank in the Mediterranean Sea, its precious cargo lost forever. In the year 1901, Greek sponge divers discovered the wreckage and the remnants of an ancient machine known to scientists as the Antikythera mechanism, the first ever computer designed by humans. Created by the ancient Greeks, scientists believe it is the only machine of its kind in existence until Declan and Dalya Salk discover another Antikythera. Entangled ever deeper in a dangerous game of espionage and mystery, Declan, Dalya, and other teenage defenders must first trek through the treacherous Amazon jungle to find an ancient South American city where the second Antikythera has laid rest for thousands of years. Working together, the teens and the secretive Chosen group must race against time to break the Antikythera's code to reveal its secrets in connection to a rogue band of marauders who'll arrive on Earth to plunder its resources, leading to total extinction for all life. Meanwhile, a clandestine paramilitary group led by an evil medical genius, Dr. Stout, seeks to capture Declan and Dalya, at all cost, to exploit their powers. Can the Antikythera mechanism be found and decoded on time? Can Declan and Dalya avoid capture before the wicked extra-terrestrial group arrives? Can the rogue group be defeated and humanity saved from mass extinction?
