About this eBook

An exotic adventure in the style of King Solomon's Mines or Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, that will take you into the heart of Asia, to the roof of the world.

In 1689, when the Europeans were struggling to explore the world, Arnau Falcó, a Catalan antiquarian and relic hunter from Barcelona, embarked on a quest to unveil the secrets of the East.

Together with his Portuguese friend Silva, he will search for a mythical Tibetan artefact, trying to locate the legendary kingdom of Shambhala in the abode of snow. They will face innumerable perils, pursued by Manchu warriors and wicked Hindu Thuggees, fanatic worshippers of the fierce goddess Kali.

Join the so-called Catalan Falcon in his thrilling journey from Europe to Tsaparang, the ruined capital of the Guge Kingdom, thro India, the Sundarbans jungle, the Brahmaputra Basin, Bhutan and the Yarlung Valley.
