Darok 10
Darok Series, No. 2

By H. J. Ralles

      H. J. Ralles returns to the world of Darok 9 with Darok 10. Will Conroy and his uncle, Hank Havard, have yet another mystery to solve. Dr. Gunter Schumann has disappeared from the cryolab at the hospital in Darok 9. Will was the last person to see him before he disappeared. He'd chatted with the doctor in the corridor outside the cryolab just before meeting his mother, Rachel Conroy, for dinner. Rachel was also concerned when she found a spot of blood on the carpet outside that lab. It was fresh blood.

     When Will and Rachel met Hank in the lobby of the hospital, Rachel voiced her concerns. After all, even the rear elevator was locked, but there was no sign of Dr. Schumann. Hank persuaded Rachel to put her concerns on the back burner and wait until after dinner. If Dr. Schumann had not returned by then, Hank would go find him.

    Dr. Schumann did not return nor did anyone find any sign of him. Everything in his office was untouched and he had not signed out of the building. But the blood on the carpet was gone. Hank called a friend of his, MacKenzie Stewart, who worked in the forensics lab. Mac checked carpet and found traces of blood as well as red hair that everyone knew did not belong to Dr. Schumann. Whom did it belong to and what had they done with the doctor?

     However, when Hank returned to the hospital, someone had ransacked Dr. Schumann's office and his briefcase. Who was it and what did they want?

    Darok 10 is another sci-fi thriller that readers of any age will enjoy.

Ralles will enjoy this installment of the Darok series. Pick up a copy and enjoy!
