This was the first in the Race Against Time series and got me hooked. Uncle Richard and Stephen made a great team. They would always wind up in some sort of exotic locale for their adventures. This time they were in the Sahara desert. The book effectively introduces the two characters and their ulta-cool Kronom KD2 watches. (Imagine a James Bond-type gadget on your wrist) It also introduces them to each other. They were battling a bunch of bad guys who were threatening a movie shoot. If you are into pre-teen adventure, this book might be for you. I remember it fondly.
"Race Against Time" will have your hearts racing!!

THE PLACE: "The shifting sands of the Sahara, where a blockbuster movie is being made - and an unknown killer is doing the shooting."THE RACE: "Fearless stuntwoman Lorelei Blake discovers real-life drama with Stephen Lane and his Uncle Richard, pitted against Ali Ben Kir, merciless overlord of the desert... in a secret tomb turned into a deathtrap.""The Race Against Time" series are so fantastic and fun to read! Though this is the first book of the series, I must say it isn't one of the best so I had to give the book 4 stars. I always love how Uncle Richard always seems to 'get the girl', which happens to be Lorelei Blake in this book, "Revenge in the Silent Tomb". The best thing of the are Uncle Richard's and Stephen's watches. They're sooooooo cool though I can't say too much about them, you'll have to read the books yourself. The watches are very much like 007's gadgets but the watches can do a lot more!Though these books are hard to find, if you ever happen to find them, I strongly recommend these books for kids 9 and up! Total fun enjoyment!
