When Chinese archeologists began digging up the Terracotta Soldiers in the 1970s, they were horrified. They watched helplessly as pigment exposed to sunlight after thousands of years faded in a matter of hours. Resolving not to make things worse, the government decided not to open Emperor Qin's burial mound -- reputed to contain an entire necropolis -- until such time as scientists could ensure the artifacts can be protected. It's a painstaking process to learn the secrets of this enormous site and its thousands upon thousands of soldiers. In my novel, Zebulon Angell and the Shadow Army, our hero goes marching straight into Qin's necropolis... and meets Qin! In China today, scientists are working to learn all they can.
