About this audiobook
Best-selling author P.B. Kerr wowed readers with The Akhenaten Adventure, the first entry in his critically acclaimed Children of the Lamp fantasy series. In this thrilling sequel, twins John and Philippa Gaunt-descendants of a long line of djinn-face the evil and terrifying Blue Djinn of Babylon. The Solomon Grimoire-a powerful book of magic-has gone missing. When John and Philippa are chosen to retrieve it, their quest sends them trotting across the globe. But what they don't know is they are being lured into a trap by the Blue Djinn. When Philippa falls right into the trap, John must embark on a perilous adventure to save his sister. With this second effort, Kerr has established the Children of the Lamp series as a masterful saga that deserves consideration alongside the classics of fantasy fiction. Narrator Ron Keith brings Kerr's wondrous world to full and glorious life with his dynamic performance.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoy reading this series. This particular story took me a while to get into. The plot in the first book was very engaging and easier to follow. I am still missing bits that help to understand what role djinn have in the world of mundanes. Or are mundanes in the world of djinn??
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5When his twin sister, Philippa, is kidnapped by the Great Blue Djinn in order to succeed the Great Blue Djinn herself, John, along with his two uncles (turned rottweilers) brave the monsters of subterranean palace of Ishtar in order to save her.
Personally, I like the books in this adventure series. They are lighter than Harry Potter, but just as magical, enchanting, and fraught with dangerous adventure. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Part two of the Children of the Lamp series. This book had a faster pace than the first and revealed a few more secrets regarding the djinn world. Also included is instructions for a Djinn dice game. I enjoyed this more than the first and am ready to dive into #3.
