They slip their jailors in Carthage and race across the Mediterranean to fulfill their secret diplomatic mission, pursued by agents and assassins: an elderly Zoroastrian priest and his young teen apprentice.

Their mission: to prevent the outbreak of a civil war in Egypt. Their opponents: the Great Phoenician council and the entire state apparatus of Eternal Egypt. Their resources: the old man's wit and the young man's courage.

A classic tale of high adventure, full of white-knuckle twists and turns, engaging characters, and sparkling humor. This series has remained a best-seller since 1946. Now finally translated into English and beautifully narrated for your pleasure. If you liked The Treasure Island and The Three Musketeers, you will love this.

Out of the Lion's Maw: High Adventure in the Ancient Mediterranean

In extraordinary times, twelve-year-old boys must act like men.

Greece 562 BC. For insolvent debtors, the price of bankruptcy is slavery. When his mother and siblings are seized for unpaid debts, little Diossos must run to fetch help. He must cross mountains, forests, and stormy seas, brave wild animals, slave catchers, pirates, and the power of the state. He has a month to complete his quest, only days to grow up.

The Heroes of Out of the Lion’s Maw return for an encore in this stand-alone classic tale of high adventure, full of white-knuckle cliffhangers and last-minute escapes, engaging characters, and sparkling humor.

Continuously in print since 1946 across Eastern Europe, the book has been compared for its tempo and style to Treasure Island and The Three Musketeers. If you liked those, you will like this.
