Which introduces Professor William Race, a mild-mannered but brilliant young linguist who is unwillingly recruited to interpret the document that could lead to the idol itself.<br><br> So begins the mission that will lead Race and his companions to a mysterious temple hidden in the foothills of the Andes.
