The Copernicus Archives #1: Wade and the Scorpion’s Claw audiobook

This book is the second installment in the Copernicus Legacy, it picks up right where book one left off. As Wade continues the quest around the world in search of the next relic. The Teutonic Order kidnaps Darrell's mom Sara and its up to Wade and the gang to get her back. As the story progresses Wade and his friend's figure out all of the coded emails, mysteries and figure out that there are Guardians. They meet a man that had a jewel that can open vaults that lead to the relics. A man that "helped" them turns out to be a liar and is part of the Teutonic Order, he was responsible for killing two Guardians. I think this book was fascinating but there were some weak points. I'm excited to read the rest of the series.

On their way to New York, Wade and his friends must make a stop in San Francisco when a storm keeps their plane grounded - only for the group to end up in the middle of a deadly hunt for yet another ancient relic that could save their kidnapped mother...or keep her even farther out of their grasp. Abbott delivers a short but exciting read with this tense archive sure to have fans gasping the whole way through. A definite must read for followers of this engaging series!

Karena ini sekuel, aku tidak bisa cerita banyak.Buku ke-1,5 ini masih memburu relikui selanjutnya dari total 12 relikui--kali ini ada hubungannya dengan konstelasi Scorpio. Latarnya di San Fransisco. Masih ada teka-teki dan puzzle. Dan, yang tidak aku sangka, ini buku anak-anak, tapi banyak tokoh mati begitu saja. Gokil. Oh iya, ada 1 sosok misterius juga yang sepertinya tidak memihak siapa-siapa.

The suggested reading for this series puts this book as the second to read. It is interesting and introduces us to more bad guys. However, this was an instance when they really did not accomplish much aside from meeting other players in the race. More and more it is like 39 Clues. If you enjoyed that series, then this would be right up your alley. Joseph McKnight http://www.josephmcknight.con

** spoiler alert ** While this was a fun little mini adventure, nothing really happens to advance the plot. The only thing I could think of that would carry over is the character development that they experience this is small journey. What I really liked was the puzzles and diary entries. There were some fun villains and guardians. Over all not a bad read between 1 and 2.

This is very interesting companion book to "The Forbidden Stone" . It lets you see more of the kid's struggles as they attempt to claim all of Copernicus's missing pieces, and shows you more of what Wade is thinking and feeling

good! fast read and a fast adventure.

Original Link to the review at my blog Le' Grande Codex - here ----Following on the tails of the first exciting adventurous 'Copernicus Legacy' book, 'The Forbidden Stone' comes the 'Copernicus Archives' a list of novellas connection the events of the Legacy series.

Our heroes realize they may be way out of their depths in this centuries old way but they also know that it is upto them to keep the world out of the clutches of Galina Krause.Tony Abbott maintains the impeccable and smart literature forces us to not only follow the story itself but also to work with the characters in solving the ciphers and clues here and there and marvel at the ingenuity of it all. I have an e-arc of the next 'Copernicus Legacy' novel, 'The Serpent's Curse' and very excited to begin reading it soon. "A tantalizing adventure to increse our excitement for the next Copernicus adventure"

Just as good as the first, though the way it reads, I'm also confused about why it's a book 1.5 instead of 2. There was a lot that went on in this book that seems like it will be super important later in the series. It also makes me wonder just where it's going from here, and if I had skipped this book, would I still understand what's going on in later books? And, If I were to skip other #.5 books later in this series, will I be confused then? Which, I know, is just getting nit-picky, but seriously. I thought about passing over this book until later, because #.5 books usually are just fun side stories, and not super important to the main story. I don't feel like that was the case here.... especially since it was published before #2. Ramblings/rantings aside, It really was well written, just as gripping as the first, I still had a hard time putting it down. And I'm excited to see where this story goes.

The latest edition of one of the most successful ideas in kid's novels - the serial mystery thriller. Tony Abbott has given us a great plot using ancient secrets in The Copernicus Legacy and now we have the shorter version where the kids must locate all of the missing relics that Copernicus sought to save and hide from the sinister group of evildoers ready to use the relics and recreate the ancient astrolabe. Wade and his family must solve the clues left by the now deceased Uncle Henry to locate the relics and save the astrolabe. Each book will give kids plenty of brain power puzzles to solve where the relics are located around the world with a healthy dose of danger.

The evil Knights of the Teutonic Order will do everything they can to keep the Kaplans from finding either the lost relics or Sara (Wade's stepmother). Wade, his father, his stepbrother, Darrell, his cousin Lily, and her best friend, Becca, must solve a series of riddles to reach both of their goals. Thankfully, whether it is deciphering code, researching obscure facts or tapping their seemingly endless stores of energy, the group members combined talents seem up to the task.

The five explore San Francisco and along the way they find a traitor and a fake relic. They end up going to the church and meeting the ninja master and his minions and a Knight of the Teutonic Order. Wade jumps past everyone grabs the 'relic' and smashes it on the floor. It turns out it was the fake.

Wade and the Scorpion's Claw is a novella that follows The Forbidden Stone. We see a recap of their 1st adventure through Wade's point of few. Lots of action, adventure and puzzles/clues to solve.
