Rate this book
Copanatec is the second book of the series The Timecrack Adventures, which sees the two young brothers, Archie and Richard Kinross, return to New Earth in the next dimension, in the continuing search for their parents who disappeared from an archaeological site in the Yucatan jungle.
The island of Copanatec is home to The Lords of the Cloud, an ancient civilisation, who in their desperation to find a lost, life-giving treasure, have recruited Talon the Slave Master and the brutal Terogs to find it in the tunnels below the pyramid, before it is too late.
Archie and his friend, Kristin, along with the villagers from the mainland of Amasia, are taken by the slave traders and forced to work in the tunnels below the pyramid to find the treasure.
Richard, back on Old Earth, discovers Archie is missing, and along with Chuck Winters, a security specialist, set out on a time travel to the next dimension to find him.
The adventures with its mix of ancient cultures and time travel to new worlds in other dimensions, will appeal to young adults and older readers, alike.

Copanatec delivers everything I want from an adventure novel: danger, mystery, fascinating worlds, and characters worth rooting for. William Long expands the universe introduced in the first book and creates an exciting story that kept me turning pages late into the night.

The combination of ancient civilizations, hidden treasures, and interdimensional travel works surprisingly well. Archie and Richard remain relatable protagonists, and their determination to find their missing parents gives the story emotional depth beyond the action. Fans of epic adventures will find plenty to enjoy here.

One of the strongest aspects of Copanatec is its sense of mystery. The search for the life-giving treasure keeps readers guessing while raising important questions about power, survival, and greed.

The plot unfolds gradually, revealing clues and secrets at just the right pace. I found myself constantly trying to predict what would happen next, only to be surprised by unexpected twists. The suspense remains strong throughout the novel's considerable length.
