More than two thousand years ago, Kong Hao, an artisan who had devoted his career to creating the First Emperor's tomb, was sealed inside--entombed alive--when his emperor died. Millennia later, a young American tourist, Ben, is accidentally trapped in the tomb.
Ben soon finds that escape will only be possible if he promises to help Kong Hao's ghost. He does, and he and his new otherworldly friend begin a wild journey across China--toward a unique brotherhood unbordered by death, forever love for Ben, and just maybe, everlasting peace for Kong Hao.
With The Ghost of Mercury River, Carol Roberts, who spent her childhood in China and continues to visit, has written a humorous romp through Chinese history. Perfect for readers who want to better understand the Chinese people and their lifestyles, fables, histories, endurance, and sense of humor, The Ghost of Mercury River presents a fresh, lively take on one of the world's oldest civilizations.
