This was a smashing conclusion to The Gateway. Adventure, intrigue, passion and excitement. The emotion runs so high at times. I couldn't stop reading. This book keeps you riveted to the action, and you can't help but love the characters! They're so real. Also, I love what I learned about the Inca. This is a must read for all ages!! CynthiaCS
I enjoyed reading these two books so much! When I finished The Gateway, I was mad, I thought, okay...that can’t be it! I need the next one! So I read Eye of the Solstice. Wow! I loved the way the author described everything with such vivid detail. For me a good book means just ‘diving’ into the story, getting totally caught up in it and being able to forget everything around you...and reading these two books definitely made me feel that way! I loved both books, but the 2nd one is my favorite. The way the author described the conflicts in which the men stood, because of them knowing the future and not being able to help their friends. I couldn’t stop reading! I kept reading on my way to work in the metro, even crying a little until someone asked me if I was alright!! These books inspire me to want to go to these places and feel the energy. Not many books make me feel that way... Tina S.

As Louis Baudin said . . .
' Too high to be a citadel responsible for guarding the pass,
too far away from the roads to serve as a place of commerce,
too vast to be a sanctuary, this city . . . with no raison d'etre . . .
lingers in the memory of those who have seen it
like a strange hallucination' . . .
