Empire of the Skull
Mexico, 1924.
Restless sitting around at his father's hacienda, waiting for adventurer Ethan to arrive, sixteen-year-old Alec and his faithful valet Coates head out into the wilderness in search of an ancient archaeological site... only to discover that Mexico is every bit as perilous as The Valley of the Kings.
Pursued by ruthless bandits, involved in a plane crash in the middle of remote rain-forest and finally an unwelcome guest in a lost Aztec city where the inhabitants still practice the rituals of human sacrifice, once again Alec must use all of his skills and stamina to survive.
