Deceit and betrayal await a history professor and the beautiful student who convinces him to leave the safety of the classroom and enter the treacherous Amazon jungle. His inner strength is tested by a man who is every bit as much a predator as the giant anacondas that abound in the swampy marshlands they must cross to locate a tunnel. The tunnel not only leads them to an ancient city, but also to a group of natives who have outlandish powers, which they claim they inherited from the Star Walkers. At first the professor refuses to believe in the legend that a group of gods could have actually descended from the sky in strange ships to impart their wisdom to these natives. But that is before he participates in a ceremony. The rite convinces him that the Star Walkers are much more than just a myth. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Tunnels of the Deep (Michael Cole)
