Tommy Somebody: The Lost City of Z (Part 2)

They found the city. Now comes the reckoning.Somewhere beneath the overgrown ruins of the Amazon jungle, Tommy Somebody and Marta sit face to face with the impossible: a living Colonel Percy Fawcett, a civilization untouched by time, and beings who have watched humanity for hundreds of thousands of years, beings who engineered every single step of Tommy's journey to bring him here.The lost city of Z is real. And everything that happened, the missing expedition, the Russian oligarch's orders, the desperate rescue mission into the jungle was a carefully constructed trap. Not to destroy Tommy, but to give him a mission that could determine the fate of the world.Inside the underground city, Tommy and Marta discover a civilization frozen in time, where one day below ground equals twelve above, where the walls glow with ancient light, and where the city's enigmatic Guardians, a tall, six-fingered species as old as human civilization itself communicate not through words, but through thought. They have been waiting. Specifically, for Tommy.Thirteen crystal skulls once formed a planetary communication mesh between twelve species sharing the Earth. When the Spanish conquistadors shattered that network five centuries ago, something vast and dangerous was set in motion. Now the countdown is running out. The Guardians cannot leave. Only Tommy can find the skulls, scattered across the globe, and bring them together before the apocalypse they refuse to name comes to pass.Back above ground, the world has moved on and the secrets of what really happened in the jungle must be buried deep. Anton's men remember nothing. The surviving expedition thinks they were simply lost. Only Tommy, Marta, and a trusted few know the truth: that history has been quietly guided, that time itself is not what it seems, and that an eighteen-year-old from a small American town now carries the weight of twelve civilizations on his shoulders.Part 2 delivers the revelations Part 1 promised and raises the stakes to cosmic proportions. The adventure has only just begun.
