5.0 out of 5 stars High adventure the way it used to be!, May 31, 2001

By	Chris Madigan (Augusta, Georgia) - See all my reviews

Author Matt Newell set out to pay homage to the great 19th century adventure writers when he penned the first of this series of adventure novels set in the 1870s and built around Jebediah dane, an ex-Confederate officer and archaeologist. He takes the reader from the afermath of the Civil War in the South through an amazing journey in the Andes where Confederate renegades plan to revive the War against the North. A rich list of characters race through a series of 'high' adventures culminating in a battle between the US Federal Government and the Rebels in a valley high in the Andes. Not content with this amazing feat, Newell then reveals the true enemy, an underground group of Inca survivors whose machinations surround Dane from the beginning of the novel. The final chapter is true high adventure as Newell's lead characters escape a hidden Inca City high in the Andes. Its a great read! Also a great set up for his next novel, set in Augusta Georgia and based on a secret confederate weapon - loved it!
