About This Book

Three adolescent friends join an older guardian and a local patron on an expedition into the Andes to follow clues to a legendary Inca hoard. The narrative traces their passage from coastal and mountain cities to an isolated monastery, the assembling of a field radio installation, and a perilous overland march into ancient stone acropolises. They face jungle and mountain hazards, surprise attacks and betrayal, and are intermittently imprisoned by indigenous factions; ceremony, councils, and a feast reveal cultural complexity. Radio technology becomes a crucial bridge between old ritual and modern rescue during a climactic confrontation that decides the fate of the mountain city.
