David Apollo and his friends are having a perfectly ordinary day until the man in the samurai armour comes staggering out of the broom closet and squashes their history assignment.

He hands David a key that he claims can open the secret doors between worlds – a key that may unlock the mystery of the disappearance of David’s father on an archaeological expedition five years earlier. Using the key to escape an army of marauding monsters, David and his friends Milo and Futz suddenly find themselves in a strange new world aboard the Valiant, a warship on a secret mission to rescue an imprisoned king.

When the mission takes an unexpected turn, the boys are faced with man-eating Troglodytes, demented hotel managers and a nasty pirate named Sharkface, who is feared throughout the land for his evil disposition and terrifying (but slightly impractical) dental work. Sharkface wants the key because he believes it will unlock a priceless treasure and isn’t about to let a skinny 15-year-old history buff stand in his way.

Desperate to solve the mystery of the key and his father’s disappearance, David and his friends are caught up in a chase that will take them to the end of the world – and beyond.
