The Bridge of Light
Before there was Indiana Jones, there was A. Hyatt Verrill. Into his hand came an ancient Mayan codex, two thousand years old, a key to fame and fortune, but only if he could reach Mictolan, Lost City of the Maya!

And even having passed such perils, one must cross the eight deserts with the raging whirlwind that cuts solid rock and must face the demon Ixputeque and the fiend Neztpehua in the realm of hot ashes and the two blazing mountains, and at last must enter the Cave of the Bats and cross The Bridge of Light..."
