Translated by Margaret Sayers Peden.
Alexander "call me Jaguar" Cold and his friend Nadia Santos, a.k.a. Eagle, are back from The City of the Beasts for another crack at helping protect a sacred ancient culture--this time in the Himalayas--from ruthless Western capitalists. Like a more high-minded Hardy Boys caper, this lengthy adventure is almost absurdly campy but makes for good escapist fantasy.
