Overview

An archaeologist is drawn into a mission to save a mysterious community of supernatural beings hiding deep within the Andes in this humorous, offbeat novel. Archaeologist Ruth Baker is in Peru for a new dig, but discovers more than she bargained for-a secret community of giant supernatural beings hiding in the mountains. The Wanami were originally kidnapped from Earth by aliens thousands of years ago to work on planet Qoom. Eventually they were shipped back and lived happily alongside the Inca civilization-until they were forced to take refuge in the treasure-filled caves beneath the Incan monuments they helped to build. Now, a new threat has emerged-and Ruth is the only thing that stands between them and real extinction! Can she persuade the outside world to help ensure their survival, or will the human lust for gold cause her efforts to backfire spectacularly? A rollicking adventure perfect for fans of quirky, fun science fiction from Riley August and Becky Chambers.
