April 29 Krantu is a good way off the coast of Sarawak, a Malaysian island. No one lives on Krantu anymore and it’ll soon sink into the sea. May 2 This is just like when I went on digs. Dad is up to his eyeballs in work. June 4 He put the edges of the scrolls near to each other. What happened next made me jump backwards, my heart pounding. July 5 I’m not sure what happened. The bright beam of the torch was shining directly into a huge pair of eyes . . . Whatever had been caught in my torch beam had crashed through the flimsy wall of the shed and stampeded into the rainforest beyond it. As strange events unfold, Max and those around him are drawn deeper and deeper into danger. Surrounded by spies and pirates, Max makes a terrible discovery—a secret that could change the world for ever.
