This was a larger than life archeological adventure a la Indiana Jones, with a healthy side of romance. While firmly entrenched in the archeology community with a strong family tradition of it, Kit Sawyer has always stayed on the sidelines with research thanks to his long history of epileptic seizures. That all changes when he’s compelled to put on a relic crown belonging to an ancient Aztec deity and sets off a prophecy. Accompanied by his former stepbrother Ethan, Kit sets off to the Mexican jungle hoping to find both a lost city and a legendary treasure. There’s the requisite trouble, danger, a truly nasty villain, and the opportunity for Kit to look at Ethan with new eyes and acknowledge love. The story is more than a little fantastical, but it’s certainly entertaining and has a few nail biting moments where you have to wonder how our heroes will survive.
Joel Leslie’s narration does a great job of vividly bringing this tale to life.
