    About this audiobook

    In the second installment of the Century Quartet, Italian author P. D. Baccalario continues the mystery that will take four cities and four extraordinary kids to solve.

    Four kids. A wooden top. And four postcards with secret instructions.

    New York City, March 15
    Another mysterious artifact reunites Harvey from New York, Elettra from Rome, Mistral from Paris, and Sheng from Shanghai in their attempt to save the world. When they meet people who knew Alfred Van Der Berger, the murdered professor who sent them on their quest in Rome, they realize that the challenge is far from over. And when they discover a series of four postcards written in code years ago by the professor himself, their destiny becomes even clearer.

    The cards send the kids all over New York City, through old libraries and abandoned tunnels, in search of the Star of Stone, an ancient object fundamentally connected to the earth. But a new set of villains, predators of Manhattan nightlife, will do anything to stop them....

      As the second book in the series we meet our five friends in New York, to hunt down the "Stone of Fire". I was very excited about the first book, as the focus was more set on discovering the city of Rome than magic. So, this was little more in to the mystery corner than I like it, but it is natural as the kids begin to unravel the what Century really is about. I do understand New York don't have just as much spooky history and legends as Rome, and the write has done a good job finding some cool links and paths matching the storyline (thought not so epic as the once in Rome). Because this book still has a very exiting story, and some really impressive scenes, which just dragged me deep into the big mystery in the way TIntin and Phileas Fog did. The way it is all sewed together is also quite impressive, and it's good that things don't get repeated too often.
