Actually, Maya picked this book up in Thailand but somehow it ended up I my backpack and so I brought it to Alaska. The book tells the story of a search of a lost Inca temple in Peru. The temple is thought to be the resting place of a Inca idol made of a special material. The material was needed to build a super bombe which would hade been able to blow up 1/3 of the earth. Because this would be the first bomb capable to actually destroy the earth, different groups are after the Idol and they are not nice to each other.
I found it a gripping book to read though in some parts it is a very bloody. The book tells also the story of an Inca Prince how tries to save the Idol from the grippes of the Spanish conquistadores.
