Aztec Warriors and that

Having a better week of it this time around, than last time, sky have our mini box up an running and we have a few more tapes brought home and have tackled the ones in the fake library book cases (If you have old videos you'll know what I mean.)

So far there is an opera taped from Channel 4 by my granddad and a bit of Gerald Durrell on Sky News from way back when, before it goes into Ken Russells Salome and Oscar Wilde.

This is not why you're here though. I've transcribed another book and this time its The Mystery Of the Aztec Warrior, the first in the series of Hardy boys books if you're from the UK. Americans can be content with the fact that the Tower Treasure is already up for you to read.

Thoughts and that.

So far an easy ride, replacing lost tildes from the N in Senor in spell check and adding a few hyphens and italics that are lost when they're scanned by whoever does it. Even better it seems to be based on the UK version as it has the Arctic Warrior at the end rather than the Haunted Fort.

It's not a bad introduction, basically the boys go looking for a guy mentioned in the will of the Brookes family and go to Mexico on an extended break to do this. There's even mention of using thread from Agaves and the old canard of getting water from Cacti in the desert to quench your thirst (see also The Mark on The Door for more on this). Me I'm already tackling the cluster fuck that is The Witchmaster's Key, expect it to be scathing.

Aztec Warrior can be found here.

Finally if you want derring do and the risk of life and limb and some classic arcade games, then this is a good read.
