Retail A coordinate broadcast on an obscure frequency has brought him to Istanbul, Turkey where credible chatter has emerged that a terrorist group plans to use a devastating device to hold the world hostage. Designed by Nikola Tesla, arguably the greatest inventor of the Twentieth Century, the device is experimental, it is capable, and it has been missing for almost sixty years. If Michael is to prevent a catastrophe, he'll need to get to the device before the Conspiracy or risk upsetting the global balance of power forever. Of course, finding the Tesla Device is one thing, knowing whom he can trust with it is another matter entirely. If Michael is to survive, he'll have to do both. If he doesn't, what started as a bad day is about to become a disaster.

Twelve-year-old Zoe Guire just talked to an elephant. Well, technically speaking, the elephant talked to her, but either way it was weird, and as a rule, Zoe doesn't do weird. Except the thing is, when Zoe goes along on her mom's business trip to India, things get very weird, very quickly. Only hours after she arrives, Zoe finds herself tagging alongside a kid named Zak, totally lost in a crazy city, with no money and no way home. And those are the least of Zoe's troubles. Because if she's to believe the scary-looking snake charmer guy sitting in the corner, she and Zak have been chosen -- chosen to protect some kind of mythical animal called the Ghost Leopard from who knows what. Now, Zoe is no fool. She knows that the average leopard lives in a zoo, she doesn't trust snake charmers, and she definitely doesn't believe in ghosts. What she does believe in is trying to get back home, which would be fine, if it weren't for Zak who seems intent on hiking into the mountains to give this whole Protecting-the-Ghost-Leopard-Thing a shot. Now, the further they get into the mountains, the more crazily impossible things get. Carpets fly and statues talk and if either Zoe or Zak want to make it back to their parents, or the sixth grade, or anything even close to resembling normal, they're going to have to make some new friends, learn some new tricks, and listen, really listen to that talking elephant. Because if they don't, things will never be the same for any of us ever again.

A Chinese satellite on a crash course with Earth... A shadowy organization that seeks to dominate the globe... And an American backpacker at the center of it all... Michael Chase is running for his life.  The Chinese Secret Police want him dead.  The Conspiracy wants him dead.  And the only person he can trust may also want him dead.  If Michael is going to live, he'll need to find a hidden piece of Nazi technology lost since World War II.  And he'll have to do it before anybody else.  Because if he doesn't, we'll end up dead too.
