What Readers are saying:
★★★★★ “Great new heroes from Aiden James and J.R. Rain! Wow! A very quick read for me—about 90 minutes, but boy what a great 90 minute read it was. The action is fast-paced with enough twists and turns to keep me happy. Nick Caine, Ishi, and Marie Da Vinci form a partnership to find the lost treasure of the Temple of the Jaguar. I love the critters they encounter deep in the Honduran jungles as they search for the lost valley and treasure. It’s a race to see who gets to the treasure first—our intrepid heroes or Ms. Da Vinci’s murderous uncle and his henchmen. I would love to see the authors write another book with these three as the main characters.” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “I am a huge fan of both Aiden James and J.R. Rain, so to say that I was excited to read this book is being modest! Nick Caine is a looter with a conscience. One day he receives a message to meet with a Marie Da Vinci. Nick has sworn off women so imagine his shock at his attraction to Marie. Meanwhile, her father has been murdered and she wishes to continue with his work and locate the legendary Ciudad Blanca. The way to the treasure is a treacherous one and Marie shows that she has a very reckless side in this quest. They come across at least three unimaginably horrible beasts that Nick has to battle. I LOVED this book!” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “A great treasure hunt story with all the needed elements! A lovely lass in need of a guide, a somewhat reputable treasure hunter/archaeologist, his faithful side-kick, and a wicked villain combine to make a great read and adventure. Lots of thrills and yet great moments of laughter!” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “A great start to a series! This book hooks you from the first line and leaves you wanting more. Nick Caine is a looter, or a ‘creative archeologist’ in his mind. When Marie Da Vinci asks him for help in finding a fabled city that many have searched for and failed to find, he goes along for curiosity, and of course, the money. He didn’t believe it was real, but her proof was just intriguing enough to get him interested. From the moment they set out, trouble dogs their footsteps. Creatures that shouldn’t exist, and thankfully don’t in real life, are there at every turn. It’s Indiana Jones made so much better! The tale blends the ‘voices’ of both authors beautifully and keeps the reader fully engaged from the first line to the last, and the dialogue felt extremely believable. Closing your eyes, you can watch the book unfold. It may be a shorter tale, but had it been 400 pages, it still would have felt like it was over too soon, and left me wishing for the next installment. That’s the sign of a good book—when it all ends too soon. 5 stars! Highly recommended.” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “A treasure hunter with a conscience, knife, and a sense of humor. This book is great. I read it in one night. This book is action-packed and full of humor. The only complaint I have about this book is that it was too short! It ended far too quickly for me. I will definitely be buying the rest of this series as well as other works by this author.” —Amazon review
