Children of the Lamp - The King Cobra of Kathmandu

      Children of the Lamp had gotten into its intensifying moment. I just finished the third book of the series which is the Cobra King of Kathmandu. Today, I am going to introduce to you this amazing book.

The adventure begins on the birthday of John and Philippa, when their friend Buck, who's a djinn, just like the twins, doesn't attend the party.  He's gone somewhere. A few days later John gets their new birthday computers up and running, and as soon as he opens his email account, a message from Buck pops up. Buck is in trouble and he is needing their help. He had made two new friends and they have been murdered, and the killers are now after him.  Killers who turn out to look very much like the burglars who broke into John and Philippa's house, these killers who use the venom of the king cobras to kill their victims, killers who seem to be after a picture Buck has, a picture from India, of a huge king cobra, being prayed by the men surrounding him. 
Uncle Nimrod and his friend Mr. Rakshashas are on the trail of tracking down the Eight Cobras, but they will need the help of Buck, John, Philippa and even Layla or also called Mrs. Gaunt, the twins' mother, who will be the next Blue Djinn. They go from New York to London, from London to Nepal, and from Nepal to India, the home of the cult and the giant snake god.  They must defeat him, or die trying.
