Another gripping Sam Silverthorne adventure.
Sam sets sail to China in search of a rare carnivorous butterfly before it is released in England and kills again. He must track down the enraged Chinese Prince Chi Lin and stop him breeding more of the monstrous creatures. But as Sam will discover, the British Empire can cuase just as much devastation as the evil prince.
Praise for QUEST
'Sam Silverthorne is such an engaging characters, and his destinations and modes of trvael - both present and predicted - so exotic, that QUEST is irresistible.' BULLETIN
