Description: In an attempt to block Victor Stahl's plot to take over the world, Dan and Sam jump to first-century Wales where they encounter druids, Celts, a Roman army intent on destroying everyone, and a fellow jumper stranded in time.
Brief description: Ever since his mother told him he was descended from Vikings, ANDREW VARGA has had a fascination for history. He's read hundreds of history books, watched countless historical movies, and earned a BA from the University of Toronto with a specialist in history and a major in English. Andrew has traveled extensively across Europe, where he toured famous castles, museums, and historical sites. During his travels he accumulated a collection of swords, shields, and other medieval weapons that now adorn his personal library. Andrew currently lives in the greater Toronto area with his wife Pam, their three children, and their mini-zoo of two dogs, two cats, a turtle, and some fish. It was his children's love of reading, particularly historical and fantasy stories, that inspired Andrew to write this series. In his spare time, when he isn't writing or editing, Andrew reads history books, jams on guitar, or plays beach volleyball.
