Summary: Nazka revealed
Review: Martin, the hero of 'The Devil's Doorbell' and first of the Five, discovers the existance of a second gate into the place where the Old Ones, evil prehistoric beings, were imprisoned by the Five in a previous incarnation. He must follow the clue found in the home of a murdered antiquitarian to Peru, where the second gate waits. In Peru he teams up with the last of the Incas and the second of the Five, Pedro, in a desperate attempt to prevent their modern disciples from opening the gate and returning the Old ones to earth! Although the plot is fairly standard, the story flows well and there is plenty of action. The ending has an unusual twist that is not fully revealed until the third book in the series.
