Matthew Freeman(same as the one in
Raven's Gate) now lives with Richard Cole and the Nexus(every
character in this story is the same as in Raven's Gate) want
him to stop a second gate from opening. He has to go to Peru,
where he finds the gate. He also finds another one of the five
who's called Pedro(orphan with healing powers.)and helps him
try to stop the gate from opening. This gate is opened when
the stars are in the right place but there is one star
missing, so somebody who wants the Old Ones to be free puts a
satelite into the right place and the 2 of them fail to stop
them from coming out. Fortunately, Matt hurt them quite badly so they won't go
around destroying the world
immediately.

This story is about a boy who
lives on Alcatraz with his parents and his autistic
sister(and also near the convicts, of course). His parents
want to send her to a special school(it's called Esther P.
Marinoff) but that's only for people aged 8-12. His
sister Natalie is actually almost 16 years old so her
parents try to lie about her age, saying that she's 10 and
tall for her age. He tries to get help to send her into the
school. So he types a letter to Al Capone, asking him to try
to get the principal to let Natalie get in and to
ask convict number 105(who tried to get near to Natalie)
to stop go near Natalie. A few days later, the principal
decides to open another school meant for older children
who are above 12. Then when he puts on a clean shirt he sees a
note that says : Done
Its a very good book.
