The tribal shaman had warned the others not to touch these talismans from his “foreign” god, afraid of insulting this stranger’s deity. His Incan captors had stripped him of all possessions, except for his robe and cross. He still wore his Dominican robe, black wool and silk, but it was stained and torn. He wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve. Panting, he crouched along the thin path and caught his breath. If you're looking for a great adventure book - this is it! I can't recommend it enough! And from now on - I'll be getting most of my books from that obsessive clerk person, he knows his books god dammit!!ĭid you read it? Did you find it as awesome as I did? Let's discuss! And if you haven't read it, I hope I interested you enough with this wall of text, hehe.Crashing through the misty jungle, Francisco de Almagro had long given up all prayer of ever outrunning the hunters who dogged his trail. Now something HAS happened, and I can't wait to find out what it means.
I read about 1/3 of the book in one sitting (196 pages out of 540) and I guess the only thing that bothered me was - there was quite a big chunk without anything fantasy/mysticism related, it was all quite realistic. It started off a bit slow (and I gotta say I'm not the biggest fan of the whole treasure hunting / indiana jones archaeology) but when the characters were set and the actual "action" started - the mystery actually became interesting! I swear here I am not caring about who this found dead guy is and 50 something pages later "OMG! Who is he?!! WHY WAS HE THERE? I MUST KNOW!!" Since it's rather not large I decided - might aswell read it and get it out of the way - HOLY FAKE TITS ON A ZOMBIE fellow readers! This book is fucking amazing! However I already have quite a backlog of unread stuff so I was like "nah man, nooo, nah, no, maybe next time" but he kept insisting, so I picked the cheapest book he was offering, a small paperback "James Rollins: Excavation" (~4,38$).
Typically I don't like it when clerks do that, but this guy seemed like he really knew what he was talking about, and wasn't trying to just sell me more books. I was picking up "Mask of Cthulhu" in the book store (my local network of bookstores has a website where you can order a book and have it delivered to a specific shop free of charge) and the overly attached book store clerk started hitting me with recommendations, like do you like Lovecraft? Well you should read this and this and this.
