As they inch toward the truth of the men in black and the secrets they keep, one terrible fact remains: Komar Romak is still out there. He s still after them, for reasons they can't even begin to imagine.And he knows exactly where they are From the rolling plains of America to the wide-open waters of the Atlantic, through the Strait of Gibraltar to a remarkable village in the hills of Abruzzo, Italy, The Ravens of Solemano or The Order of the Mysterious Men in Black, the second book of Eden Unger Bowditch s Young Inventors Guild trilogy, is an adventure like no other, as the children draw ever closer to the answers to the mysteries that surround them."
