Amazon Gold

9.0 / 10 average from 1 rated reviews

For centuries the green hell of the Amazon jungle jealously guarded one of the most legendary of all Incan treasures. When Pizarro's Calendar is rediscovered, only one group of men can be trusted to bring the golden prize back to safety- Dan Track and Company. The mission looked easy enough. Until Track discovers that the wild Peruvian forest holds more than its natural threats. The group plunges into the seamy underworld of South America, ensnared in a web of betrayal, deceit and danger. And under the spell of an Incan death curse!

The Phantom 9/10 April 21, 2019

One of my favorite covers of Herring's work for this book, but does the story between the covers make the grade? It sure does. Andrews continues to tell an engaging story, adding to the Track library, unfortunately, this is the final title in the series, with GE deciding to replace it with the Vietnam: Ground Zero series after this. This time Track has a smaller crew, with George and Zulu along for the ride, and the adventure begins. Tasked with retrieving a valuable Incan artifact from the amazon jungle, Track and friends have a tricky time of it getting in there, and then having to find a safe way out. Questionable allies and some surprise encounters add to the mix. The brutal slave labor camp was a tough scene to read, the bandit prisoner's experience there reminded me of scenes from Executioner #104 Devil's Horn. The grand scheme of the ruler of the camp was really more of an afterthought in the overall plot, the bulk of the story was the artifact retrieval. I liked how the author tied together the singer Track had a relationship with the labor camp, and the final scenes with the APC made for a decent conclusion. Terrific read here, one of the best in the series, and it is hinted at the end their was another story to come involving ninjas in Japan, but that never came to be. I would have liked to see what Andrews could have done with that.
