Deep in the jungles of Peru, the hunt for a legendary Incan idol is underway - an idol that in the present day could be used as the basis for a terrifying new weapon. Guiding a US Army is Professor William Race, a young linguist who must translate an ancient manuscript which contains the location of the idol. What they find is an ominous stone temple, sealed tight. They open it - and soon discover that some doors are meant to remain unopened.©2008 Matthew Reilly (P)2008 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd.

Great concept. Spoilt by comic book narration. Boom Bash..etc. Also too many clichés. German baddies Confusing way it jumped back and forth.

just couldn't finish

This book was great for the first half. Really well described fight scenes and cinematic in its scope. Unfortunately, halfway through it’s almost as though someone said this book isn’t long enough and then the second act branches off into something else before a quick return to the original plot at the end. It just wasn’t sure what it was supposed to be.
In summary, I enjoyed it; mainly the first half, the rest felt a bit like a repeat of the first half with added angst for the main character - who didn’t really react to a personal circumstance the way someone surely would. It’s worth a listen, but be prepared to suspend your disbelief.

A mishmash

I've read this book more times than I can count and listened to this on audible a few times more.
I love the narration with the different influences for the characters - in my head they sounded very much the same.
The story I find magnificent, the back and forth from Race in the present time to the characters in the past along with giant man eating cats, a whole cast of bad guys. Save the world despite being 'just a language professor' and you have me well and truly hooked.
Read it, listen to it, just do it
