This is a really enjoyable romantic adventure type story. When the aliens, or lost race snake people or women, or whatever you want to call them are more human and nicer than the average blokes running around, the writer has a good thing going. There is of course a young, attractive female to go with the young bloke good guy adventurer, and an evil Dark Lord, and a battle. Lots of fun if you like that sort of thing.
Not at all what I expected but still a great book

By the title and the chapter names of this book, I expected it to be set in a more Tolkien setting. This book starts out in what I believe to be 20th century South America. When you first read it, you expect a sort of Indiana Jones storyline. Boy does that change in a hurry. I won't spoil the whole story but I will say this, the imagery is fantastic. I was able to picture vividly, so much of what Merritt describes in this book. I will also say that for me, this book went very quicly. Though not a simple book, it is easy to read. What I mean to say is, you can immerse yourself in this title and find yourself finishing it very quickly. I highly recommend it.
