The book "The Adventures of Tintin: The Red Sea Sharks". Where will the insatiable thirst for adventure lead the young Belgian reporter Tintin this time? It has brought the young man to a distant land, the homeland of his old acquaintance, Emir Ben Kalish Ezab. It seemed the adventure promised to be thrilling, and Tintin, as always, is ready for any turn of events. He has been in all sorts of escapades! But one thing he had never encountered before is… the slave trade. Can this barbarity still exist somewhere?..
There is a coup in Khemed. Tintin and Captain Haddock fly there to help the legitimate ruler, Emir Ben Kalish-Ezab, regain power. However, their arrival is already known: at Wadesdah airport, our heroes are put on a plane and sent back. Shortly after takeoff, an engine catches fire on board, but the pilot still manages to land on the shores of the Red Sea. To top it all off, an explosion occurs in the plane abandoned by the passengers! Realizing that this is no coincidence, Tintin suggests secretly returning to Wadesdah, and by morning the friends are knocking on the door of Señor Oliveira da Figueira's shop, who tells them where to find the Emir. The heroes make their way into the mountains, meet with Ben Kalish-Ezab, and learn from him shocking facts about those behind the rebels. Tintin is determined to thwart their criminal plans…
