A great story expertly told. Dean Banks is the sixteen-year-old Chosen One, and has been given superhuman powers, such as shapeshifting into a super hawk; his destined role is to guard the Sacred Lost Dutchman Mine in the Superstition Mountains. A descendant of the Apache Nation, and however unwilling he may be to accept his destined role, he becomes engaged on a quest and mission to protect his people, and is imbued through visions with ever greater powers and insight. He learns that his duty is to prevent gold, which contains special properties, being taken from the mine. We follow him and his colleagues through a series of initiation ceremonies, struggles and adventures which keep us on the edge of our seats. He is ultimately involved in a life-and-death struggle against evil. I won't reveal anything more of this gripping tale. Suffice to say that, further to the unceasing action, there are other fascinating ingredients such as Brandy, the super-model, with whom Dean is romantically involved, and his mother's smarmy new boyfriend, Joe Sanchez, and the mysterious Los Tetros Labs. Check out how all these threads, and others such as Brandy's growing illness, are brilliantly woven together by the author and lead to a rousing, nerve-wracking finale that will not disappoint you. You must read this.
