The Codex



The codex by Douglas Preston


Preston, one half of the team responsible for the Agent Pendergast series, goes solo on this science based thriller.  The Codex to which the title refers is a Mayan artifact containing knowledge about the medicinal properties of rain forest plants.  It was hidden in the rain forest by eccentric adventurer Maxwell Broadbent, and Max left instructions for this three adult sons to follow.  Very Indiana Jones—there is an evil villain, a beautiful scientist, and lots of jungle adventure.
