 Temple (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caught by this new force, Race and the others are escorted back to Vilcafor as the Germans open the temple to discover some doors are meant to remain unopened: the temple is home to a pack of jaguar-like predators known as rapas, later described by a German cryptozoologist the South American equivalent of Bigfoot.
Within the temple, he ordered that a pack of rapas be placed to stave of people, thus making it the ultimate challenge of greed: those who succumbed to avarice would die at the claws and fangs of the rapas while those who left the temple closed would survive.
They manage to make their way into the temple and recover the idol, but they are cut off from the team in Vilcafor by the arrival of the neo-Nazis armed with Heckler and Koch G-11 rifles.

 Hannah Webster Foster (1758-1840)
Their romantic pictures of love, beauty, and magnificence, fill the imagination with ideas which lead to impure desires, a vanity of exterior charms, and a fondness for show and dissipation, by no means consistent with that simplicity, modesty, and chastity, which should be the constant inmates of the female breast.
While voicing opposition to the novel in general, Foster and other novelists characterized the reading of their own works, which were "founded on fact," as warnings, to keep young women from peril.
Novels that invite comparison and contrast with The Coquette are William Hill Brown's The Power of Sympathy (1789) and Susanna Rowson's Charlotte Temple (1794), with which it competed for favor through the early decades of the nineteenth century.

 Amazon.com: The Temple of the Golden Pavilion: Books: Yukio Mishima,Ivan Morris   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, by Yukio Mishima, is a tragic story about Mizoguchi, the story's protagonist, and his struggle to come to terms with his existence.
It is striking to think that the main happenings of the novel actually happened--a stuttering young monk did in fact set fire to the golden temple after becoming obsessed with its beauty, as cited in the introduction of the book.
Using events in 1950, when the Golden Temple was deliberately torched, as a very basic foundation to his book, Mishima writes of Mizoguchi, a stuttering young man who becomes obsessed with the Golden Temple and beauty as a general concept.

The story itself was interesting and engaging but is not on the same level of writing prowess as some of the other WotC novels written by R.A. Salvatore and others who allow you to closely relate and identify with the characters in their novel.
There are enough twists and turns in the plot to keep readers interested in the last page, and a tag at the last of the book insinuates that there may be another novel in the future dealing with these same characters, which I would welcome.
There were elements of this novel that could have made a good story but on the whole it was very dry and boring.
