Return to the Lost World

"Return to the Lost World" By Steve Barlow + Steve Skidmore is a Science Fiction/Fantasy novel about two friends who end up in the Amazonian jungle on a search for Luke's (the protagonist) mother.

So far, Luke and his friend Nick had to build a glider for a glider championship in Australia. However, during Luke's flight on the glider, a german man tried to assasinate him who was on another glider. He didn't know why, but he knew that the german man was very angry with him for some reason. The German man took out his gun and tried to shoot Luke. One bullet got very close to his head.

Luke didn't want to give the crazy German a second chance to kill him so he moved across a cable car which was in between the two gliders, while hoping that the German wouldn't see it and would crash. His hope was correct, the German crashed and Luke landed next to him to check his pulse. He was dead. The german who was dead had a tattoo on his shoulder. It showed a striking snake coiled around the shaft of a spear. He wondered what it meant.
