About this ebook
A heart-stopping adventure from the NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of MAP OF BONES and THE DOOMSDAY KEY.
High in the Andes, Dr Henry Conklin discovers a 500-year-old mummy that should not be there. While deep in the South American jungle, Conklin's nephew, Sam, stumbles upon a remarkable site nestled between two towering peaks, a place hidden from human eyes for thousands of years.
Ingenious traps have been laid to ensnare the careless and unsuspecting, and wealth beyond imagining could be the reward for those with the courage to face the terrible unknown. But where the perilous journey inward ends - in the cold, shrouded heart of a breathtaking necropolis - something else is waiting for Sam Conklin and his exploratory party. A thing created by Man, yet not humanly possible. Something wondrous...something terrifying.

FYI in Ireland we DON'T like our alcohol warm, there are NO drainage ditches on the streets of Belfast nor do children there grow up looking at shootouts every day. very insulting description of Ireland. plus his historical descriptions of certain emblems are incorrect. his attempt at writing how Irish people talk is laughable and reminds me of tom cruise in far and away!!! apart from that very enjoyable read if you have no brain cells

Couldn't put this down in parts, in other parts it wasnt as good but definitely worth a read. As always with Rollins it has a good idea combining history with science, doesn't always work but a good attempt. Not his best but a solid read.
