Quietly They Came. The Gods of Space and Time, #6

Addric Sharano, Yumi Master extraordinaire is back, and he is in fine form in this light-hearted adventure.  Addric's new mission is to rescue forty-two orphans from Pompeii, before they are incinerated by the volcano. Accompanied by his best friends and glamorous offsiders, Lady Felicity, and her sister, Countess Demetra, two exponents of the fine old art of subterfuge, and the modern version of sorcery, Addric comes up with a clever if not complicated plan.
However, there is one little catch. These kids have a greater purpose in life. They were born with a coded message in their DNA, and it's just waiting for an opportunity to be expressed. Addric is not known as the master of spin for nothing, so, he takes them by the hand and they dive into the deep end. And when they come up for air, they hit the big time. Addric is the man with golden touch when it comes to doing the impossible, and he doesn't fail to deliver the goods in this rollicking romp of a story.
Sit back and enjoy a ride that starts in Pompeii and ends on some of the great stages of the modern world.
