Description

Three adventurous friends who share a passion for fast engines and daring road trips set out on their most ambitious journey yet. After mastering motorcycles and winning a coveted touring car, they decide to drive southward, chasing rumors of an ancient buried city hidden deep in Mexico’s rugged landscape. Their camaraderie and love of machines turn the open road into a playground of excitement and discovery.

The story opens in a dusty Arizona mining camp, where a mischievous mishap involving a cook and a revolver provides a comic glimpse of frontier life. Amid the clamor of miners and the heat of the desert, the boys receive a tantalizing clue from a learned professor about the lost city’s location. Fueled by curiosity and the promise of untold treasure, they ready their automobile for a cross‑border expedition that promises danger, mystery, and the thrill of exploring uncharted terrain.

About the author

CY

Clarence Young

Best known as the name behind the fast-paced Motor Boys adventures, this was actually a Stratemeyer Syndicate house pseudonym rather than one single writer. The books helped define early 20th-century boys' series fiction, mixing cars, travel, and cliffhanger action.
