A delightful romp through space and time. Who would think a combination of ancient Incas, soda-pop entrepreneurs, an anthropologist much in need of therapy, Guardian Cats, intelligent vegetables and wanna-be movie stars could be so much fun?

From back cover: A game of cat...and cat? Movie star Jason Carter is on vacation in Peru. All he wants is a break, but what he finds is a lost civilization of extra-dimensional Incas bent on conquest of the entire world! Nor is Carter alone. His allies include a bloodthirsty Amazon, an archaeologist, a bank robber, three alien vegetables, a scoop-crazed gossip reporter - and not one of them knows what to do next. Only Carter's cat seems unruffled by the growing danger. In true feline fashion, she acts like she's in charge of the planet. Maybe she is.
