Very much Inca-centered, it postulates an alternate reality based on Inca civilization. A golden mask with seemingly limitless power is discovered and sets into motion the plot where two brothers are sucked back into 16th century Inca civilization to battle for the future of the alternate 23rd century Incas. I’d give it a higher rating, but there were several words spelled wrong, as well as the lack of wrap-up at the end. Other than that, it was a great book, and a quick read. When Mike Gabrieli's neer'do'well brother Tom disappears shortly after discovering a fabulously valuable Aztec relic, Mike rightly suspects that this time the family's black sheep has got himself into the kind of trouble from which even Mike won't be able to extricate him. But still, Tom is-or was-his brother, and Mike must do what he can. For Mike this is the beginning of an adventure beyond imagining, an adventure that will put him in constant peril of his life as he shuttles. between past, present and future of an alternate reality, fighting beside the descendants of the Incas as they battle to erase Pizarro's bloody footprints from the New World, and secure the reality of their own existence. But is the "alternate reality" really an alternate, or is Mike actually struggling to erase the very future that gave him birth? The answer lies in the source of all his troubles and his only hope of survival. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Being Australian, I don't have much knowledge of the Incas - which may have made the story more interesting to me.
I enjoyed it enough but felt there were a few unanswered questions throughout. ( )
