To the Incan people, it is still the ultimate symbol of their spirit. To William race, an American linguist enlisted by the U.S. Army to decipher the clues to its location, it's the ultimate symbol of the apocalypse... Carved from a rare stone not found on Earth, the idol possesses elements more destructive than any nuclear bomb--a virtual planet killer. In the wrong hands it could mean the end of mankind. And whoever possesses the idol, possesses the unfathomable--and cataclysmic--power of the gods... Now, in the foothills of the Andes, Race's team has arrived--but they're not alone. And soon they'll discover that to penetrate the temple of the idol is to break the first rule of survival. Because some treasures are meant to stay buried..and forces are ready to kill to keep it that way... 955290 1900 Temple total:690|5:186|4:260|3:155|2:51|1:22| 690 2620 901 70 144792 0312981260 9780312981266 601 58 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172166050m/144792.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/144792.Temple 5 4 false Tue Jul 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 17:49:32 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 12:41:54 -0700 2009 more...]]> 144792 0312981260 9780312981266 601 58 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172166050m/144792.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/144792.Temple 4 1 false Mon Dec 01 15:05:23 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 20 08:13:39 -0700 2009 more...]]> 970387 0312266596 9780312266592 7 3 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179894522m/970387.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/970387.Temple 2 1 false Wed Nov 05 23:21:18 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 05 23:22:26 -0800 2008 more...]]> 970388 0330482483 9780330482486 15 4 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1179894523m/970388.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/970388.Temple 4 1 false Thu Jul 03 23:50:05 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 03 23:52:36 -0700 2008 more...]]> 144792 0312981260 9780312981266 601 58 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172166050m/144792.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/144792.Temple 1 1 false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Feb 06 07:46:40 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 06 07:46:40 -0800 2008 more...]]> 144792 0312981260 9780312981266 601 58 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172166050m/144792.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/144792.Temple 4 1 false Sat Feb 07 17:35:07 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 17:35:07 -0800 2009 more...]]> 144792 0312981260 9780312981266 601 58 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172166050m/144792.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/144792.Temple 4 1 false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jan 17 05:51:36 -0800 2008 Tue Jun 30 06:38:41 -0700 2009 I also love the way I become so attached to the main character, I felt as if we've been friends for ages and I can't help...more...]]> 144792 0312981260 9780312981266 601 58 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172166050m/144792.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/144792.Temple 3 1 false Tue Dec 16 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 03 12:24:34 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 03 12:27:35 -0800 2009 more...]]> 144792 0312981260 9780312981266 601 58 3.80 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172166050m/144792.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/144792.Temple 4 1 false Mon Nov 17 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 03 10:56:12 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 08:34:21 -0800 2008
