This is book #2 in the Archer Legacy series and I can't wait for Book #3! While I was reading it I kept thinking that it wasn't quite as good as book #1, and maybe that's true, but it's still fantastic and still rates 5 stars. And I think that reading book #1 first is a must.Picking up where book #1, "The Billionaire's Curse", ends, Gerald Wilkins, the boy who became the richest kid on earth when his great aunt died and willed him her fortune, and his friends Ruby and Sam are off to India to visit the Gupta family and their friend Alisha Gupta. Gerald had just discovered papers indicating that his family from the time of the Romans were protecting a huge secret. As usual the kids manage to elude their adult companions and protectors and become embroiled with people who are ruthless in their quest to reach the secret and its riches first. Since this book involved a city that had been buried under the ocean and sands for eons, it really appealed to me. I'm a sucker for lost cities! This book and series is a wonderful adventure in an Indiana Jones kind of way. Gerald wilkins brand new billionare boy is back with his two friends ruby and sam. they get invited to visit India to visit Alisha and her father as thanks for rescuing thier diamond. Gerald finds clues where mr. green might be headding. He is having wierd dreams about the caskets and mr. green threatning his friends lives if he doesnt help him find the emerald casket. While site seeing around India in a luxery train car they run into kidnappers that want Alisha. they have rescued her a few times from them. thier body guards chaperones have disappeared. Gerald finds out a little bit more of his family history with the caskets. Its a nice adventure book but liked the first book and cant wait for next one to see why the 3 caskets where hidden away and protected so far apart from each one.
