Temple of Shadow
When the famous archaeologist, Alexander Albright, passed away, his son discovered an old treasure map among his father’s belongings. Prior to entering his senior year in college, Michael convinces his closest friends to join him on one last, big adventure together.
Legend claimed the pirate Roche Braziliano buried a chest filled with gold somewhere within the Amazon Rainforest. After hiring one of his father’s old South American guides to lead the expedition, Michael Albright and his friends embark on an epic journey into the wild.
Treacherous terrain and heavy rain impede their progress, and it isn’t long before the dangers of the Amazon come to life. Bone crushing anacondas, deadly spiders, and primitive natives pose a serious threat.
However, nothing can prepare the amateur archaeologists for the nightmare that began the moment they set out on the Xingu River. The dream of discovering gold evaporates when they are faced with the reality they might never escape the jungle alive.

You'll be on the edge of your seat the whole time! This book leads up to a great premise for a sequel! Can't wait!

Another great read by Phillip Tomasso! I was hooked from the first chapter and could not stop reading. If you pick this up make sure you have enough time to finish it because you will not want to put it down!!!!

very enjoyable and intense.
This is an engaging read. It draws the reader into both imagination and curiosity. It excites the reader’s thoughts about how they might handle the situations as they appear in the story. There is an agreeable amount of fear, sensible amount of responsibility, and a great encouragement of deep friendship.

Good bedtime reading
I thought this novel made for good bedtime reading. It allowed me to see things about each individual, their strengths and weaknesses. I look forward to reading more.
