No clear protagonist. The characters quarrel all through the book... and then they're suddenly all friends in the epilogue. The rain god didn't really feature much until the epilogue either ( ) This was an archeological action-packed thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Set in the rainforests of Guatemala where archeologists have discovered a vast network of caves set under an ancient Mayan tomb, two men work their way through dense jungle to get to the dig site. Kalis has a real way with words, and the descriptions here are exquisite. You can really picture, smell and imagine every scene, from the rainforest to the claustrophobic feeling of being trapped down in the caves. And the descriptions of the Mayan relics were stunning. But as they get to the dig site and discover what’s there, all is not well. This was a nail biter from start to end. Wonderful incorporation of Mayan legend and history as well as some present-day lessons in climate change. If you enjoy fast-paced thrillers like “Indiana Jones” and “National Treasure”, you’re sure to love this one! Please excuse typos/name misspellings.
