City of the Lost (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734464252)

After surviving the stark terrors lurking beneath an unnamed town, Gillam and Tunuhun-now joined by an unstable occultist named Jarrod-are still no closer to understanding the alien artifact they possess. Fortunately their newfound associate has agreed to introduce them to someone who can help translate the map tile fragment, hopefully leading them to another ancient Mi-Go hive.

But to obtain this knowledge, they must now delve into the unexplored depths of the Amazon jungle, following an uncertain path toward the enlightenment they so desperately need. Journeying to Peru, they stumble across new allies, a brother and sister formerly employed by Gillam's late uncle. Once recruited, these chance met accomplices take them to a remote archaeological dig site seeking the one man able to unlock the secrets of the artifact they carry.

However, the jungle is a place of many hidden dangers, and they soon face implacable foes driven by an unknown master. Using unclean, ritualistic powers and enthralled jungle tribesmen, this new adversary will stop at nothing to deny them the information they seek. And as the way before these reluctant investigators becomes increasingly difficult to navigate, they are forced to make hard choices, securing the questionable aid of the dig site's militarily trained security team.

Can Gillam and his companions, escorted by this heavily armed band of mercenaries, survive long enough in the heart of the Amazon to find what is needed to defeat the impending Mi-Go invasion? Or will they become nothing more than prey, hunted relentlessly through the towering trees and unfamiliar jungle pathways until they are forced to confront something so vast and malignant that it heralds the extinction of all mankind?
