But then the ransom comes in and the Vespers demand the impossible. Amy and Dan have just days to track down and steal an ancient map. The only catch? No one has seen the map for half a century.Now Amy and Dan are on a desperate search that will lead them to the Nazis, spies, a mad king and some of history's dirtiest secrets.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Medusa Plot was great and this series had the potential to be great, however this book slow slow, predictable, and plain out boring.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An interesting story
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The book a kings ransom is about Amy and Dan her younger brother go on the orient express and bump in to a vesper. The spy. She was trying to find out some information about this brother and sister team. But over all this book was nice because it is challenging for a younger student but very action packed and mysterious .
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The way the authors of this series blend fact with fiction is absolutely astounding to me. I feel compelled to look up every little "fact" stated to see if it's true or simply part of the Cahill canon, but I stop myself because I REFUSE to destroy the temporary suspension of disbelief with this series (at least until I've finished it).
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I think this is a great set of books to get kids involved in reading. It used real books, game cards and the computer. Clues are everywhere to solve the mystery.
