Book 3.  Murga's thugs kidnap me yet again but this time Triple Oh and Kozak plan to trap Murga without telling me I'm the bait.  When Murga doesn't show up, the thugs handcuff me inside a helicopter which the pilots abandon over Hong Kong leaving Triple Oh to rescue me as he learns to fly.  And he thinks helicopters can't be more difficult to drive than horses. 

Murga retaliates by sending Dr Zhang and Denny to Han Dynasty China before destroying the software in Dr Zhang's time machine (the amazing quantum computer called Oppy) so they can't return. 

Luckily, Oppy's daughter programs, Yonnie and Treeka, reconstruct their mother but they cannot contact Dr Zhang and Denny.  Licia, Miguel and I have to go find them and bring them back to Silverwood School.

Unfortunately, we arrive in Xiangyang just as the warlord, Cho Cho, invades Jingzhou Province with a huge army.


Author's note.  This is the third book in the series which begins with Under Cover Goose.  The second book is Curiousers Under Way.  You might like to read these before Under Estimating Kongming but feel free to start with this one if you wish.  

Under Estimating Kongming is based on the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty but I have greatly condensed the historical facts to fit the narrative.  

The cover shows the Chinese Dragon King Lóng Wáng 
     (see       https://thetempletrail.com/chinese-gods-101/        for details).

The sub-title (too long for the cover) is from the Art of War by Sun Tzu.  'Be so subtle that you are invisible.  Be so mysterious  that you are intangible.  Then you will control your rivals's fate.'

My grateful thanks to all those dedicated readers who have read this far.  I hope you have as much fun reading about the protagonists as I have writing their adventures.  

I appreciate questions, comments and suggestions.  I promise to acknowledge all feedback.
