DESCRIPTION

It is post-9/11 America, and young contractor Sam Castillo returns from a business trip to the Middle East mere days before a terrorist attack is thwarted in New York. He thinks nothing of it, focused on his blooming career and the love of his life to whom he's about to propose. 

But then, without explanation, he is abducted by political forces and thrown into a distant prison for a crime he had nothing to do with. There, he meets a mysterious mentor who teaches him the secrets of survival, escape, and revenge. 

This is the world of MONTE CRISTO, a thrilling contemporary adventure story by Jordan Mechner, the creator of the renowned Prince of Persia video game franchise, revising the classic tale The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas for a modern audience.
