Monte Cristo

By (author) Jordan Mechner, By (artist) Mario Alberti






| book description |

Sam Castillo embodies the blue-collar American dream — a young, successful contractor, engaged to his sweetheart at age 24, living a happy life… until three enemies conspire to frame him as a terrorist. Sent to a black-site federal prison, Sam befriends a brilliant, multi-lingual inmate who teaches him the ways of the world... and bestows upon him the key to a secret fortune. After 15 years of imprisonment, Sam's daring escape puts him in a financial position to, at last, take revenge against those who betrayed him. Alexandre Dumas's classic tale of love, revenge, and redemption is reimagined and transposed to a post-9/11 America and today's globalized world by Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner, masterfully illustrated by Mario Alberti (The Wall).
