One good read.This one starts with Hunter Gearhardt running for his life. Gearhardt and his team were in the jungles of Peru at the site of a lost city.Gearhardt found what his Father had sent him to find. Problem was he found something else as well. More like they found him.Gearhardt almost makes it to the river. Almost. He's stabbed in the back, falls off a cliff and into the river. His body floats down to the nearest city.Enter Wes Merritt. Merritt is a deserter from the US military. He's ex Spec-Ops.His last mission turned into murder.He and his Spec Ops brothers were tasked with hitting a site containing jihadists and weapons. They hit the site only to discover refugees. No jihadists and no weapons. All were killed.Merritt just couldn't take it. He deserted and landed in Peru with loads of baggage.Merritt is a pilot. He has a float plane and flies scientists, tourists and anyone else into the interior of Peru.Merritt finds Gerhardts body. Gernardt has a back pack and Merritt opens it. Inside he finds gold. Not just any gold. A gold crown thats part of Peru's history. He turns the backpack into the American consulate.So begins one helluva story.This one is loaded with people seeking revenge, looking for gold and one group looking to murder and steal.We also have  an archeologist, an expert on birds, ex military bodyguards and something absolutely nobody expected.One great read. Five stars all the way.
