All the Tea in China - Timothy David Mack

nIndiana Jones meets Shōgun in All the Tea in China, a searing historical adventure full of treasure, epic thrills, and a ruthless pirate queen ...n nThe Duke of Devonshire has given Major William Gunn one last chance to save his daughter's life. All William needs to do is the impossible. He must travel to China--where merely setting foot on shore is a death sentence for a European--then find a way to break into the impenetrable Forbidden City and steal tea from the Dragon Throne itself.n nAmerican frontiersman Nathanial Bidwell would never let William face this perilous journey alone.

He owes his friend a life debt, which he hopes to finally repay. But just after glimpsing China's shores, their mission takes an unexpected turn, and they find themselves ensnared in a conspiracy to overthrow the emperor. Their only hope lies in finding an ancient treasure--and in order to do so they must form an uneasy alliance with the notorious and formidable pirate queen, Lin Mai.

To recover the treasure, the unlikely trio must learn to work together to capture and sail the fastest ship on earth--or risk being intercepted by their enemies' combined forces.n nWith an entire civilization in the balance, William, Nate, and Mai must decide: Are they in it for love, money, or All the Tea in China?n
