Alcatraz: Prison for America's most wanted (READ 180)

Henderson, C.J.

Scholastic. Inc.

A soaring voyage of the imagination from the husband-and-wife team of Boris Vallejo, America’s premier fantasy artist, and Julie Bell, designer of the popular Dragons of Destiny sculpture series. Here are thirteen all-new paintings set in a dazzling alternate world inhabited by lithe goddesses, sensual maidens, and fierce warrior women rendered in meticulous anatomical detail. Fighting sinister serpents, soaring through the air astride magical steeds, or reigning from a throne of tangled boughs, their luxurious hair flows, muscles ripple, and eyes shine with valor and intensity. Weaving the paintings together is an enthralling original narrative by C. J. Henderson, author of the Teddy London series.

Professor Piers Knight is the Brooklyn Museum's very own Indiana Jones. His specialties include lost civilizations, arcane cultures, and more than a little bit of the history of magic and mysticism. What his contemporaries don't know is that in addition to being a scholar of all these topics, he is also proficient in the uses of magical artifacts.
Knight receives a chilling message from Tian Lu, a former lover and an agent for the Chinese government. Years ago, they made a frightening discovery at an archeological dig when out of the depths rose… a living, fire-breathing dragon. Now, the dragons are waking from their slumber before their scheduled time. And one particularly diabolical dragon is set on eliminating the others and taking over the world. 
As civilization plunges into panic, Knight, Lu, Knight's seventeen-year-old techie intern George Rainert, and an untrustworthy dragon ally must use all their resources-- magical and otherwise--to stop the destruction before it's too late.
