Eighteen year-old Tommy is sent down to the Brazilian Amazon jungle to find two lost men sent to join a famous explorer in search of the Lost City of Z. The only clues he has are visions of the expedition who followed in the footsteps of Colonel Percy Fawcett who disappeared in the same area nearly a century ago.
Together with the razor-sharp operative Marta and a four-man team of elite agents, Tommy ventures into the Mato Grosso, a vast, unmapped expanse of jungle where the rules of reality seem to bend. Strange totems mark their path. Invisible watchers shadow their every step. GPS signals go dark. Satellite feeds dissolve into static. And somewhere beneath the ancient canopy, time itself appears to run at a different speed.
Tommy's gifts, the ability to see through others' eyes, speak languages he has never learned, and sense danger before it strikes, are the team's greatest asset. But as they close in on the mythical Lost City of Z, even Tommy's abilities may not be enough to prepare them for what lies beneath.
The Lost City of Z is a pulse-quickening blend of adventure, espionage, and the supernatural, part Indiana Jones, part The Spy Who Came In From the Cold, with a twist of time that will keep you turning pages long after midnight. For fans of action-adventure fiction with a hero who is anything but ordinary, Part 1 ends with a revelation that changes everything.
Some cities don't want to be found. Some people, once taken, are never quite the same again.
