Ivy Linden and the Treasure of Skull Island (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

It's 1938 and war clouds are gathering across the globe, but intrepid ethnobotany professor Ivy Linden is preoccupied with her summer fieldwork. That is until two enigmatic strangers arrive at her office and upend her plans: she must instead search for an antimalarial plant in Malaya.

Ivy reluctantly accepts the mission, unaware of what adventures - and dangers - await her. Winging her way across the Pacific aboard the Pan American Clipper, she soon realizes this is no ordinary botany expedition, and she's not the only one searching for this plant.

From the Long Bar at Singapore's swanky Raffles Hotel to a tiny island in the South Pacific that holds a powerful secret, Ivy's mysterious quest becomes more perplexing and perilous. She forms new friendships along the way, but rekindles an old rivalry with the nemesis she never wanted and receives fortuitous help from unexpected sources, challenging the very foundations of her beliefs.

Can Ivy and her friends complete their fateful mission before it's too late?

Autorenporträt

Growing up in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, Donna Esposito was inspired by the lives of past residents James A. Michener, Margaret Mead, Pearl S. Buck, and Oscar Hammerstein II. She earned an undergraduate degree in molecular biology with a minor in anthropology from Lehigh University and a doctoral degree in genetics from Cornell University, focusing on chloroplast gene expression. After overseeing a genetic testing laboratory for a dozen years, she made a radical career change to explore her other longtime interests in writing, museums and archives, World War II history, plants and ethnobotany, and the South Pacific.

Donna's first novel, Flying Time, was published in 2016, setting off an unlikely series of events that led to her visiting the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Palau, the Marianas, and Sicily to explore World War II sites. While visiting Guadalcanal, she was involved in the repatriation of an American soldier, missing in action since 1943, and has researched numerous World War II servicemembers to bring closure to their families.

Donna is currently working on other writing projects, including Ivy Linden's next adventure, from her home in upstate New York.
