Beskrivning

Mexico, 1924.At his father's hacienda, restlessly waiting for adventurer Ethan to arrive, sixteen-year-old Alec and his faithful valet Coates head out into the wilderness in search of an ancient archaeological site . . . only to discover that Mexico is every bit as perilous as The Valley of the Kings.Pursued by ruthless bandits, involved in a plane crash in the middle of remote rain-forest and finally an unwelcome guest in a lost Aztec city where the inhabitants still practice rituals of human sacrifice, once again Alec must use all of his skills and stamina to survive.

"A cracking tale which combines sureness of touch with a great sense of timing ... Don't pick up this book unless you've definitely got time to finish it ... Adventures don't come much more gripping than this" -- Phil Hewitt Chichester Observer Online "Involving and wonderfully implausible" Carousel
