Chronicle In Favor Of 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.Rating Based On Books Prisoners of the Sun (Tintin #14)

From BBC Radio 4 Extra:With Professor Calculus in grave danger, the boy reporter and dog Snowy lead a rescue.My first Tintin and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Plus, I got some great insight into Herge and what made him write Tintin.
"Billions of blue blistering barnacles!!!" ....That has been a very funny Tintin. I like these Comics since my childhood. Maybe i read the Inca adventures now for the third or forth time, but this time with the Tintin App on my Laptop, so i could make the cute pictures from time to time very big to admire Herges paintings....i like them so much.My own little snowy or Struppi i have adventures with on the Philippino Jungle Islands. http://sherrysmoon.tumblr.com/post/171511924038
Le Temple du Soleil is the sequel to The Seven Crystal Balls (which I have unfortunately never managed to fully read) and while it is definitely a tale of both engaging high spirited adventure and often even rather majorly hilarious and funny in scope, especially with regard to Captain Haddock's antics and general attitudes (like the repeated times he gets spit in the face by llamas, for considering that llamas tend to only engage in this type of behaviour when and if they are seriously annoyed
Tintin, Snowy, and Captain Haddock go in search of Professor Calculus and end up in Peru.
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
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.
