If you love historical thrillers, this novel will cut your breath from the beginning.
 A 10th century saga narrates the arrival of a Viking castaway to the Mayan cities. He is accepted as an avatar of the God Kukulkan and marries a Maya Princess
A genetic thread links those misty characters with a young Mexican archaeologist and through her with the members of an expedition set to find El Gran Paititi, legendary lost city of the Incas. Myths about lost civilizations are recurrent in all cultures because they exert an irresistible romantic attraction on the human soul. The search unfolds first in the Amazonian jungle between Peru and Brazil and in the forests of Peruvian highlands afterwards.
The expedition has attracted the attention of dangerous people led by a former Soviet intelligence officer who are looking for Paititi by its riches to put them at the service of a world power restoration project. 
Finally, a strange millennial group of alleged descendants of the Incas intends to expel all foreigners who pollute their sacred site which they seek to preserve for the day of the resurrection of the vast Empire.
All these elements interact in the novel, creating a climate of sustained suspense and anxiety until the final climax.

The Mythical City

“Not necessarily. It is not an ideological issue but that its goal is chemically pure power. They can serve the restoration of communism as well of tsarism. They are ambitious men and which have maintained contacts made in the Communist era. They work in branches as diverse as weapons, artifacts and works of art, nuclear material and hiring of former Soviet scientists for unsafe countries, sale of fuels and in one word, everything that can make money. The cement that unites them is not only greed but the struggles that have joined them in troubled times. They seem to have a spirit of camaraderie and very strong reciprocal loyalty. It is not just the Russian mafia, but a group with a very ambitious agenda.” 


“ And this man escaped to the fence of the Peruvian Army.” Mused darkly Teresa.
