| Publisher Description: THE QUEST FOR GOLD The lost city of Huacha had been a legend for centuries. It was believed that the Incas had concealed a fantastic treasure there before their empire fell to Francisco Pizarro's conquistadores in the 16th century. So when Wilbur Tennington came upon a memoir written by one of Pizarro's men, revealing at last the exact location of Huacha, visions of gold filled his eyes. He wasted no time getting an expedition together, then set out on his quest. He should have known, though, that nothing so valuable ever comes easily. He would have to survive freezing mountain elevations, volcanic deserts, tribes of deadly headhunters, and murderous bandits if he hoped to ever find the...Treasures of the Sun. |
