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!

Diana Tressler, Life Designs Review

"An adventure film transferred to the page, much like the Indiana Jones series, Temple of the Tow Jaguars focuses on archaeological expeditions and supernatural links to ancient cultures to fuel its drama.

"After recurring dreams of ancient Mayans and an astrology reading, Ryan Keshaw realized that he was a Mayan medicine man in a past life. When the Smithsonian asks him to work on an excavation of Mayan ruins outside Cancun, Ryan realized he can use the memory of this dreams to navigate his way through he mysterious Temple of the Two Jaguars. Throughout the book's intro there are frequent suggestions that Ryan will encounter a mystical force while exploring the temple, including a particularly vivid accounting which Ryan awakes with injuries sustained from the Mayan world of dream. While immersed in research, Ryan meets the tempestuous and beautiful Allie Lea, a Smithsonian archaeologist, with whom he exchanges constant flirtations. Armed with James Bond-like, technologically advance gadgets …, and despite orders from the Smithsonian to remain at the excavation camp, the duo plot to sneak off to the temple of Ryan's dreams and hunt for ancient treasures.

Kirkus Discoveries Review

Edward Curry plays with reality and time in his first novel, Temple of the Two Jaguars. Motivated by this innovative idea, Curry tells the tale through the eyes of narrator Ryan Keshaw, a man who experiences dreams that may be clues to a past life he led among the Mayans. Because of these dreams, the protagonist joins an expedition to find the Rosetta Stone, and this is where the adventure truly begins.

"The premise of this book is not only interesting because it revolves around adventure, but because it dips into a rich and very real history. … Additionally, Curry makes good use of Maya history: these details are woven into the narrative structure and do not seem clunky or misplaced. In fact, Curry’s use of history is especially remarkable because of its references to time. Reality and time are not static or concrete entities, and dreams are as real and relevant as the Stone for which the characters search.

"The major feat of this novel is the depiction of Ryan’s dreams. Curry balances reality with the dream world. He begins with a dream, and from the start, the reader is as off-kilter as the narrator. These dreams are well-crafted, and Curry may have felt as though he could be more creative in a setting that plays with reality and perception. It is in this dream world that the past, present, and future collide and suspense is built. …

"The novel’s best moments occur when Ryan is on the expedition and experiences a collision of time and culture: He must confront the warriors and customs of the past to not only obtain important artifacts and knowledge, but also to know his past self and find peace of mind. Curry’s novel is a cosmic melting pot worthy of any adventure-seeking reader."

I have been reading the book at work during my lunch hour and just finished reading it. I was surprised that I really did enjoy reading it and some days couldn’t wait for lunch to see what happens. When I first started it I thought this really isn’t my kind of book but the more I read the more interesting it became. It had a good mix of adventure, history, and romance. I will now pass it on to others here at work to enjoy, too.

Thank you,
