Publisher Description
From the bestselling author of Ice Station.
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 the US Army is Professor William Race, a young linguist who must translate an ancient manuscript that 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.
Customer Reviews
Doesn’t know when to stop
Despite being an acclaimed military novel writer, Matt just doesn’t seem to know when to stop in this novel. The story just keeps going on and on, becoming more and more absurd as it continues.
The novel effectively tells the same plot three times over, inside itself. The factions change and the motives change, but the outcomes are always the same.
It could have been a 4 star novel, but as it became increasingly tragic and implausible, the ratings dropped. Final score: 2/5
