supergran71 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 The Ruins by Scott Smith Blurb What happens when one simple, innocent decision becomes a catastrophic mistake. Craving an adventure on their Mexican holiday before they return home, a group of four friends impulsively set off in search of one of their own who has travelled to the interior to investigate an archaeological dig in the Mayan ruins. After a long journey into the heart of the jungle, the group come across a trail. A hillside covered in bright red flowers lures them closer. A Mayan horseman approaches behind them. But this is no friendly welcome: he has a gun and orders them fiercely away. In the midst of the confrontation, one of the group steps inadvertently backwards, into the flowering vine. And at that moment their world changes forever. This is an horrific story, but very compelling. I couldn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supergran71 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 You, know I still have this story on my mind. I keep seeing the characters and what happened to me all the time - and I am still jumpy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
