First in a groundbreaking trilogy, this is no ordinary tale, no ordinary book. Shanghai, 1920. While on board the "Expedient", Doug and Becca MacKenzie stumble across an amazing secret.

About the Author
Joshua Mowll studied at art school before working as a graphic artist in newspapers. He has worked for The Mail on Sunday since 1994, illustrating everything from maps, diagrams and space flights to medical procedures and aircraft crashes. Joshua didn't think about writing until he inherited the Honourable Guild of Specialists archive from his great-aunt. This is his first book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A first class read, 29 Jan 2006
By A Customer
Got this as a Christmas presnt for my kids and they loved it.
They also persuaded me to read it and I have to say it is just as good as they told me.
All the maps, plans, diagrams, character sketches and other illustrations assist in bringing this story to life at several levels.

Looking forward to the next book in the trilogy...

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for kids not so great for "kidults", 27 Sep 2006
By Random Reader (Cambridge, Cambs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I picked this up for around UKP3 in a remaindered bookstore and am glad that I did - it's a lovely little volume - but also glad I didn't pay more.

The clothbound hardcover, with it's elastic-banded journal format is a very nicely put-together artefact, with heaps of great sketches and illustrations and lovingly-detailed pull-out charts.

However, the writing is frankly poor (compared with, say, the Philips Pullman and Reeve) and I couldn't wait to finish, in order to start a better book. This may be okay for children - but even then I suspect I'm doing them a disservice, as they deserve good writing, too. Basically, the prose was clunky (under a facade of pacy brevity) and the story was rather cliché-ridden. Certain things - like the protaganists names - just didn't sit right and characterisation was two-dimensional at best. A fun romp, but not one of the great achievements of recent "young-person's literature".

5.0 out of 5 stars Operation Red Jericho, 7 Oct 2005
By A Customer
This is book illustrates the move of fantasy into reality. The story has not yet become real but plays at the edge of the possible and creates the feeling of a divergent past that was not realised.
The apparatus of the book, maps, diagrams, file entries furnishes its world with artifacts for the archeologist in all of us and enables the author to imply structures not described. Ideal for those whose imagination will engage in myth making

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed

I gather that the author of Red Jericho worked in design before scribbling this book....it shows. It's a beautiful package but much more of an artefact than a novel. Read more
