It is definitely a guy book. Too much blood and gore for me. I know my middle school boys will like it. The ending did leave me wanting more though. ( )

The fifth member of the Gatekeepers is about to be discovered: Scarlett Adams, the adopted Asian daughter of divorced British parents. Scarlett's father works for Nightrise in Hong Kong, and when she is accidentally revealed to be one of the Gatekeepers, he sends for her. Matt, Scott and Richard travel from Nazca in Peru to try to stop her from going there, and they are hounded by the Old Ones every step of the way. The Gatekeepers powers are increasing, but Matt worries that they will never be able to match the powers of the Old Ones, especially since Scarlett seems to have no real power at all other than the ability to predict the weather. Hong Kong is where the Old Ones have set up operations, and their presence and their minions is slowly poisoning the city and killing its people -- turning it into a necropolis: a city of the dead. Can Matt and Scott find a way to rescue Scarlett from Nightrise and avoid being killed or captured by the Old Ones? Lots of the trademark Horowitz action and suspense, good for 6th grade and up! ( )
