Ace Lone Wolf and the Lost Temple of Totec - Paperback

by Eric T. Knight (Author)

Meet Ace Lone Wolf and his unusual sidekick Coyote.

Ace is a wise-cracking, half-Apache gunslinger with a fast draw and a knack for getting himself in trouble. Ever since he left the remote mountain stronghold in Mexico where he grew up with his tribe, nothing seems to have gone right.

Coyote is Ace's horse. Except that he's not Ace's horse. Coyote doesn't belong to anyone. Coyote belongs only to himself.

Short, stubby and not much to look at, Coyote is prickly by nature-some would say mean-with a deep dislike of both man and beast. But he's loyal to Ace. He's gotten Ace out of more than one scrape.

Now the two face their most dangerous adventure yet.

About to be hanged for a murder he didn't commit, Ace gets a visit from Victoria, a beautiful English noblewoman, with an unusual offer.

Victoria's father, a famed archaeologist from London, disappeared while searching for the lost temple of the bloodthirsty Aztec god Totec. If Ace agrees to help her, she'll save him from the gallows.

Follow along as Ace and Coyote blaze a trail across the Old West. Along the way Ace tangles with everyone from Wyatt Earp to Geronimo and finally journeys into the depths of the mighty Sierra Madre Mountains to an ancient temple wreathed in mystery.

At once fast-paced, exciting and laugh-out-loud funny, The Lost Temple of Totec is a comic thrill ride.
