The Quest for Aztec Gold
Jack Stalwart has been having a bad dream: Four dark shadows chase him through a forest, until he is trapped and defenseless. But that's what you get when you fall asleep reading about the world's most dangerous treasure hunter-the infamous Callous Carl- the chief outlaw of a murderous band of thieves who are terrorizing Latin America. For his tenth mission, Jack ventures to Mexico, land of the ancient Aztecs, to save the legendary Montezuma's gold. Soaring across the Mexican rainforest on his Flyboard, Jack spots an unruly group of men behind a waterfall absconding with part of the treasure. In his attempt to thwart them, Jack strangely finds himself in a familiar position. That nightmare he'd been having is suddenly not a dream. Hunting him through the woods is Callous Carl and his gold-hungry gang. If Jack ever hopes to see his bed again, he'll have to find a way out of this nightmare.
