Relation Conducive To Books Prisoners of the Sun (Tintin #14)
After The Seven Crystal Balls set the eerie stage, Tintin and his friends continue their adventures in Peru. There Tintin rescues an orange-seller named Zorrino from being bullied, and the young man becomes their guide in their quest to find the Temple of the Sun. But they find more than they bargained for and end up in a hot spot. The perils of this engaging two-part adventure are especially harrowing in their combination of the supernatural and the real, although the resolution is a little too deus ex machina. Calculus and the Thompsons provide their usual comic relief.Itemize Regarding Books Prisoners of the Sun (Tintin #14)

This is the direct sequel to The Seven Crystal Balls, although perhaps it's more fair to say that it's a single story split into two books. Originally published in 1949, it's a more sensitive story than some of the earlier ones. Tintin and Haddock have arrived in Peru, hot on the trail of Calculus who has been abducted by South American Indians. After saving a young Indian orange seller from bullying, the boy agrees to guide Tintin and Haddock into the mountains, which is where Calculus' trailThe closing chapter in a two part story in which Tintin and Haddock are chasing the kidnappers of professor Calcalus and the action transports them to South America. It is here that they find out that the curse of the Inca's might lead them to their deaths. After an amusing trek through the mountains they end up in a place where the Inca's still rule and they find out that they like the professor will meet their untimely end. A good thing that modern things like a paper end up in these ancient
Today after coming from The secret of the unicorn movie, I was inspired to read the comics!!During my childhood I used to watch the adventures of tintin cartoon!! Instantly I fell in love with the story!! After a long time I got an opportunity to read the series!!The prisoners of the sun is one of my favorites among the comic series!! Tin-tin as usual with his spontaneous nature dealt with the problem!! It was awesome when he chose the date of sacrifice!!Do read the comic, if u get an
This is the concluding part of Tintin's adventure in Peru and the Inca.I would have liked this book more if there were an elaboration on how the Inca made the expedition members sick (see The Seven Crystal Balls). The plot seems rushed, and the foolishness of the Thompson twins does not amuse and serves only as an annoying irrelevance. In essence, "The Seven Crystal Balls" and "The Prisoners of The Sun" can be seen as prototypes of arguably the best Tintin book, "Tintin in Tibet". Tintin and
in the time of no internet, tintin came to my rescue.

Another superb adventure - great finish too. I remember being surprised by the ending when I first read it as a kid and this time around it's fun to see Haddock stressing and Tintin kicking back :DLoved the 'through the waterfall section' and the various animals tormenting Haddock in the jungles too. Probably the best 'two-part' adventure in the series for me.
