After being rescued from a deserted Caribbean island, 17 year-old Robinson Crusoe and his 16 year-old female companion "Friday" find themselves in Restoration-era London, a bustling city that is unlike anything they have ever seen before. Due to their honed survival skills, they are quickly recruited by a secretive young man named Daniel Defoe to work as agents for Segment W, a covert operations group that reports directly to the Crown. Crusoe, Friday, and Defoe are charged with rescuing the Countess of Lichfield from a kidnapping plot by a mystical organization known as the Circle of XIII. With an illustrious cast of historical characters including King Charles II and Sir Isaac Newton, the young trio is thrust into a world of espionage, intrigue, and peril at the dawn of the spy age. --Publisher.
