A holographic "old-timer's" baseball game turns deadly for Matt Hunter and his fellow Net Force Explorers, when "virtual vandals" in the form of 1930s gangsters suddenly invade the game.
Here is an exciting look at the perilous world of exploration. Real-life photographs of famous explorers' equipment, and the objects they found offer a unique eyewitness view of the exploration of the world. See arrows shot into Livingstone's boat, the flag that flew over the North Pole, what a sailor's life was like and specimens brought back by explorers. Learn how the first sailors navigated, what kind of food starving explorers ate, how Arab traders transported their slaves and what the Egyptians found in the legendary "Land of the Gods". Discover what happened to Matthew Flinders' cat, what the earliest underwater explorers wore, who first crossed Australia, and much, much more.
A fascinating account of the world's famous explorers, including the early travelers in ancient times, the discovery of the New World, explorations in Africa and Australia, and the expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic. Many of the explorers tell part of their story in their own words. Amply illustrated with reproductions of early maps and charts, as well as old woodcuts, drawings, paintings, and miniatures. Emphasis is placed on the explorers' 'record of splendid endurance, of hardships bravely borne, of silent toil, of courage and resolution unequalled in the annals of mankind, of self-sacrifice unrivalled and faithful lives laid ungrudgingly down.' Ages 12-18
