What this book is about
Army Ranger William Race is drafted to translate a 16th century monk's manuscript — which leads him into a race through the Peruvian rain forest for an ancient Incan idol hunted by Nazis, drug lords, and a shadowy military group. Reilly's Temple operates in dual timelines and established his signature: pure action-movie-on-paper energy with relentless set pieces, inventive traps, and a body count that escalates exponentially.
