This was originally published in 1983 - a dramatic and powerful story of a journey through the dense South American jungle in search of the lost city of the Inca Sun King, Atahualpa. Paula is taken out of her rule-bound private school as her famous explorer father suddenly embarks on this long-awaited expedition. The journey is intense and full of the tension of strained relationships. The final discovery is as much internal as external with the old civilisation having much to teach those from outside. As a whole, it's not Gillian Cross at her recent marvellous best. There's too much packed in and too much external drama, but there are still some wonderful scenes.
