Gunfire exploded across the warm night sky, and a string of overhead lights shattered into stardust. Black helicopters came out the night like marauding dragonflies and the Princess Alicia Flavia, Grand Duchess of Strelsau was abducted before the eyes of a hundred disbelieving guests.

Devlin, sociopath, anarchist and just plain bad, and his band of misfits and mercenaries had a contract to deliver her to the High Priest of the Fortress of the Sun on the Pacific edge of the Central American jungle. His reward, untold gold. The Princess, a bloody sacrifice to the gods to avert a long foretold disaster.

Maxim Gunn’s mission: to rescue her before the full moon rises, and time is running out. Perilous cliffs, trigger happy mercenaries, bloodthirsty Indians and a violent storm play havoc with the best laid plans.
