Edward Curry’s Temple of the Two Jaguars is unique, exciting, intriguing and prophetic, capturing the reader’s curiosity and imagination from the git go. Curry masterfully weaves cultures, politics, history, archeology, James Bond-like technology, fashion, cuisine, and, yes, even romance into a sparkling, insightful adventure story. Ryan Keshaw’s character is so well-developed that readers can’t help but vicariously live his extraordinary experiences along with him! His slippery perceptions between dreams and “reality” whisk the reader into fascinating worlds and his cosmopolitan yet earthy views of it all provide a most intriguing balance. Curry’s writing style is crisp and comprehensive - lively, intelligent, intimate, timeless and contemporary. Push and pull energies between Ryan and Allie Lea create a delightful love story that is really just beginning to solidify by the end of the book. The reader is left feeling simultaneously satisfied and hungry for discovering more about these two’s future adventures together. I am looking forward to the sequel!
