Personal copy - never been swapped! This book is a follow-on to Subterranean (also posted). Book was exciting and fast paced with all the expected elements...... adventure, archaelogical discovery, some romance (for the ladies), and just plain ol fun! If oyu enjoy Indiana Jones movies, you'll feel right at home with this book

Little preview: We find ourselves joining an archaelogical dig at an ancient Incan site. It turns out that a mummy found at the site is actually a Spanish Priest. Hmmmmmmm!!

Rather than spending all your time underground (like in Journey to the Center of the Earth), you find yourself immersed in history, Incan legends, secret societies, and plenty of action and suspense!

The main suspense comes from those who would wish to gain something from this Incan site, and the legend of "Satan's Blood", an almost magical substance that holds the key to an age-old secret plan.

This is probably a one sitting book, it's hard to walk away from it once you've started!

Enjoy it!
