Peace was bad for business. Dr. Harrison Blake knows that better than anyone. But when a blind courier arrives at his Houston office carrying a wooden box that smells of the Amazon rain, peace is the first thing to go.
Inside the box is the Golden Quipu-the legendary Royal Record of the Incas. It is a map made of knotted gold wire, rumored to lead to Paititi, the lost City of Clouds.
But the map didn't come alone.
Within hours, Blake's office is under siege by mercenaries working for Pedro Velasquez, a ruthless cartel warlord known as El Jaguar. Velasquez believes himself to be the reincarnation of an Inca King, and he will burn down the Amazon to claim the city.
Forced to run, Blake assembles a team of experts: Serafina Bellini, a brilliant historian; Wyatt Lee, a tech genius terrified of the outdoors; and Katerina Volkov, a bored billionaire with a talent for violence.
From the dizzying heights of the Andes to the Green Hell of the jungle floor, the team races to find the city before the cartel does. But as they close in on the ruins, they discover a terrifying truth: Paititi was not built to hide gold.
It was built to quarantine a weapon.
Deep in the crater of a dormant volcano, a field of blue orchids is blooming. And if El Jaguar harvests them, he won't just be a king-he will be a god.
Indiana Jones meets Tom Clancy in this explosive archaeological thriller. If you love ancient mysteries, high-tech warfare, and relentless action, grab your copy of The City of Clouds today.
