Short description
GREED,PASSION AND GUTS SHOVED THEM INTO THE HUNGRY ARMS OF DEATH. In South America two desperatelyh competing teams race in search of ancient treasure. They dare the unknown terrors of the Lost City of the Damned, determined to strip it of every valuable artifact. But they didn't know it was protected by an ancient science lost to modern man!

The valley waited, like it had been waiting for thousands of years�in silence and mystery�awaiting the touch of modern man.

It was a small valley, aged and savage, rugged and virgin except for the crumbled ruins at one of its further ends, under the lonely high snow-capped mountain. One large-peaked building was surrounded at every turn with rubble that may have once been a great city. Now it was waiting, like a magnificent monument of a dead age.

Nobody knew its origins; only legend and myths hung around it like some invisible mist clouding the long lost details of its wonder and glory.
The legend claimed that anyone who entered the sacred temple would die a horrible death.

Murder, danger, suspense haunt their trail as they search to discover the remains of an ancient civilization that may even have predated such legendary places as Mu and Atlantis. The promise of riches beyond imagination drove them to face unimaginable dangers in the lost city of the damned.

About the Author

Charles Nuetzel was born in San Francisco in 1934, and writes:
�As long as I can remember I wanted to be a writer. It was a dream I never thought would materialize. But with the help of Forrest J Ackerman, who became my agent, I managed to finally make it into print.
�I was lucky enough not only in selling my work to publishers but also ending up packaging books for some of them, and finally becoming a �publisher� much like those who had bought my first novels. From there it as a simple leap to editing not only a science-fiction anthology, but also a line of SF books for Powell Sci-Fi back in the 1960s. Throughout these active professional years I had the chance to design some covers and do graphic cover layouts for pocket books & magazines.�
Much of his work in covers and graphics are a result of having had a father who was a professional commercial artist, and who did a number of covers for sci-fi magazines in the 1950s and later for pocket books�even for some of Mr. Nuetzel�s books.
In retirement he has become involved in swing dancing, a long time lover of Big Band jazz. But more interestingly world travels have taken him (and his wife Brigitte) across the world, to Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Kenya, Egypt, Peru, having a lifelong interest in ancient civilizations. His website is full of thousands of pictures taken during these trips.
