About This Book

A group of young companions exploring a remote desert mesa experience strange phenomena—giant shadowy shapes, odd tracks, and a sand storm—that prompt an archaeological investigation into a vanished people. Their search of burial grounds and rock altars reveals clues that draw them into encounters with gun-runners and irregular military forces, leading to pursuits, attacks on a mine, betrayals, and a desperate defensive last stand that resolves the immediate dangers.
