[Jaguar Stones 03] • The River of No Return

A hurricane is brewing in the jungles of the Maya, and the ancient Death Lords

are on the warpath. Across the world in Venice, Italy, hanging out with his

blogger friend Nasty (Anastasia) Smith-Jones and eating Pizza Gelato, Max

Murphy thinks he is safe from their clutches.  But when a rogue octopus pulls

him off his gondola and tries to drag him down to the underworld, Max realizes

that the Death Lords have not finished with him yet.

Soon Max is back in Central America and reunited with the only ones who can

help him in his battle—Lola, the mysterious Maya girl, and the howler monkeys

Lord 6-Dog and Lady Coco.  Once again it’s up to the four of them to save the

world as they fight off mutant cave spiders, zombie warriors, and, of course,

the twelve villainous Death Lords. With the hurricane about to hit land, Max

and Lola embark on a one-way journey to danger down the blighted Monkey River.

They take shelter in a subterranean hotel, only to stumble upon Death Lord

central. Torn between rescuing themselves and rescuing one of the last wild

jaguars of the Monkey River region, Max and Lola find themselves drawn into an

ever more bizarre series of tests, culminating in a terrifying ballgame that

they can never win.

_The River of No Return_ is filled with the same outrageous humor, heart-

stopping action, and fascinating details of Maya culture that fans of the

Jaguar Stones series have come to love.  Readers will be intrigued as secrets

are revealed about their favorite characters while Max and Lola try to stop

the world from ending . . . at least for now.
