THE CITADEL OF 100 STAIRWAYS

Sound handling of mining and engineering technique, vivid descriptions of life in the Andes, as basis for a slightly improbable story about the successful quest for the tomb of the Incas of Condorconqui. Tony is a boy of today, Titu is an Andean Indian lad. The story of the lost vein of gold-bearing quartz and of the part these two, and Titu's Inca grandfather, play makes a solid and absorbing yarn.
