Cut off from government support, the Project has gone private as the Harker Group, specializing in high order security. Business has been slow, but when a wealthy British explorer wants to hire her services, Director Elizabeth Harker isn't sure she wants the job.
Sir Jeffrey Livingston has an ancient map leading to the lost city of Paititi, where a legendary treasure of gold was hidden during the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. The ruins of the city are somewhere deep in the unexplored Amazon jungle. Livingston is mounting an expedition to go after the gold. He wants the Project team to provide security.
Simple enough, except word of the map and expedition has leaked. Communist rebels want to get their hands on the gold and use it to fan the flames of revolution. That can't be allowed to happen. Harker agrees to take Livingston on as a client.
The team heads to Peru and sets off into the Amazon. Soon they are far from civilization, where there's no backup if something goes wrong. Enemies are tracking them. There's a traitor in their midst. The deadly creatures of the rain forest are everywhere, death only a careless step away. Even if they manage to find the lost city, they'll need all their skills to get out alive.
The Project team has been in some tough spots before, but nothing has prepared them for this...

I have Read and Reviewed every book of this series! I can’t believe this is number 22 Alex and I’ve been addicted since 2012!
The Project group was originally under the auspices of The President of the U.S. Funded and hidden by President Rice who had been in office for 2 terms, This group was coveted as well as hated, known all over the world as untouchable.
It has been difficult for the group with the change in the White House as the new president has taken office. The group would have been disbanded if not for a few who know how needed they are.
Elizabeth has taken the group private to The Harker Group and is contacted by Sir Jeffrey Livingston, a wealthy British Explorer. Calling the group together to discuss a map this gentleman has, needing them to go to the lost city of Paititi in the Amazon jungle…All he needs is the security for the trip.
Again Mr Lukeman has done his homework, as we trek air, river and land to get to this hidden city. We have done this before with the group, but the jungle always hides untold mysteries that you can never plan on; this story is no different.
I think the spiders almost did me in, and the escape was filled with many perils considering they were being followed, which we knew and they didn’t.
Again Alex as I’ve always said….you write them I will follow!!!!
