WHERE CONDORS FLY
ISBN: 0595003478

A perilous mountain-climbing trip in Switzerland in which young Swiss mountaineer Andre Damas is hired to take a Father and Son up an exceptionally dangerous ice-clad mountain spire that is melting, leads quickly to the jungles of South America. The wealthy American and his son want Andre to guide them up an ice-capped live volcano in search of hidden Inca treasure. Struggling against treachery and nature's violence, Andre tries to find his own long-lost father in the jungles of Peru where they believe the fiery Sangay volcano conceals a gigantic Inca treasure. Andre and his friends must deal with head-hunters, negotiate a treacherous Cloud Forest and outwit the renegades following them if they are to climb the volcano, learn the secret of the Inca Sun God and wrest the treasure from within its fire and ice hiding place without losing their lives. Plenty of hot and cold chills here! 194-pages. Paperback 5.5 x 8.5-inches ©2000 Published by iUniverse.com.

FROM THE BOOK:

    Suddenly there was a harsh rattling, followed immediately by rapid thudding and jangling noises.
    "What the devil's that!" He swung his flashlight around.
    Mike let out a startled yelp.
    Propped in a sitting position against the fumerole wall was a dust-covered, partially clad figure in ancient armor. Its yellowed skin was intact, its mouth open, its midsection bared.
    "Good Lord!" gasped Gannon. "A conquistador made into a human drum!"
    As soon as they recovered from their shock they examined the gruesome discovery more closely.
    "It's Incan, all right," Gannon told them. "They were experts at making mummies. They literally tanned the hides of their enemies and turned them into drums. This unfortunate fellow was probably one of Pizarro's men."
    "What made the sound?" asked André? "Something set it off when you tripped."
