The Emerald Elephant

The electric debut in the wild treasure-hunting sci-fi adventure series! When space pirate Kip Keene crash lands in the Andes after millennia-long cryogenic deep sleep, he awakens to find an unfamiliar world threatened by an old friend. This former ally seeks a powerful Incan artifact that can fix their ruined space craft and return them home - with one problem. Activating the artifact will vaporize the Earth's atmosphere, killing all life on the planet within days. To save a planet he barely knows, Keene - with the help of rogue FBI Agent Samantha Strike, who has a personal stake in the matter - must uncover the secrets of the Lost City of the Incas before the world ends. But in saving this world, Keene might have to destroy his one chance of ever seeing home again.
