In Ed Curry's sequel to Temple of the Two Jaguars, the gripping adventures and romance of Ryan
Keshaw and Dr. Allie Lea Shelton carry on, even as they attempt death-defying
feats! And many other beloved characters from the first book return, including
Chief Ahau and his wife, Elena, Rick and Greg — the heroic helio plane pilots, the
pushy, but charming TV anchor Pearl Estrella, and those affiliated with the
Smithsonian, whose initial expedition into Mesoamerica brought them all
together in the first place.
New faces include Ahau’s college-age daughter Constanza, babysitter to
Ryan and Allie Lea’s precocious daughter, a mysterious Maya fortune teller, and
an ancient Maya spiritual leader who reveals a past and future they could never
have imagined.
Curry has done his research (and dreamed his dreams) on Mesoamerica and
the amazing Maya. Regarding the so-called ‘Maya End Date’ of December 21,
2012, which many believe heralds the end of humanity, he offers believable and
hopeful alternative ideas, supported by tectonic research and study of the
civilization’s deep knowledge of astronomy and astrology.
The action never stops, the exotic settings appear breathtaking to the mind’s
eye, and the complex characters exude a zest for life and their relationships with
each other, even in the midst of dangerous chaos. But by far, the best thing
about this adventure is the fact that Curry takes his readers along with him. Be
sure you don't miss the flight!
