Will Danny have what it takes to overcome these challenges, as well as a terrorist threat that threatens to flatten Manhattan? Or will the forces arrayed against him prove too much for his inexperience to overcome? Find out, together with the spellbound Tommy. But there is one part of the story that the Uncle cannot reveal to his young nephew - and is left for the readers to discover on their own!
