The Adventures of Tintin: Novel

Three brothers joyned.
Three unicorns in company,
sailing in the noonday sun will speak.
For 'tis from the light that light will dawn,
and then shine forth the eagle's cross.

After buying a model of the Unicorn, young reporter Tintin discovers a secret message hidden inside the mast of the ship. But what does it mean? Who are the three brothers, and why does it mention three Unicorns when there was only one vessel with that name? The clues start to pile up as Tintin and his faithful dog, snowy, find themselves sailing, flying and riding camels around the globe on an epic adventure!

Hot on the trail of the story, Tintin meets the hearty seadog Captain Haddock. The captain's ancestor Sir Francis Haddock sailed the Unicorn and fought valiantly against the nasty pirate Red Peckham. Did Sir Francis leave behind these clues?
Is the secret of the Unicorn the location of Haddock's treasure?

Tintin, Snowy and Captain Haddock aren't the only ones seeking the truth - there are enemies and great danger at every turn. Can the adventurers solve the mystery before the secret lands in the wrong hands?

Since first publication in 1929, Tintin has been translated in over 80 languages and sold more than 230 million copies worldwide

Produced by the world's leading film-makers Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson and Kathleen Kennedy, and distributed by Paramount Pictures, Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn is expected to be the biggest film of 2011
