Prisoners of the Sun is the fourteenth of The Adventures of Tintin, a series of classic comic-strip albums, written and illustrated by Belgian writer and illustrator Hergé, featuring young reporter Tintin as a hero. Its original French title is Le Temple du Soleil ("the temple of the sun"). The album continues the story begun in The Seven Crystal Balls.
Tintin and Captain Haddock arrive in Peru to look for Professor Calculus, following the events in The Seven Crystal Balls, which ended with Calculus being kidnapped for putting on the bracelet of the mummified Inca, Rascar Capac. Calculus slips through their fingers, and they set off on the trail of the natives who have taken him. It leads them to the mountain town of Jauga where an attempt is made on their lives by sabotaging the train.
Tintin then finds himself protecting a young Indio boy named Zorrino from two bullying men of white descent. Following that, a mysterious Indio gives him a medallion, telling him it will save him from danger. Later, Zorrino offers to take them to the Temple of the Sun, where he claims their friend is being held. The Temple lies deep in the Andes, and the journey there is eventful - it involves hindrance from natives and Captain Haddock being terrorised by the local wildlife.
Finally they come upon it - and stumble right into a group of Inca who have survived until modern-day times. Zorrino is saved when Tintin gives him the medallion (the Indio who had given it to him reveals himself as one of the Incan high priests), but Tintin and Haddock are sentenced to death for their sacrilegious intrusion and end up on the same pyre as Calculus. Tintin has, however, chosen the hour of their death to coincide with a solar eclipse, and the terrified Inca believe he can command their God, the Sun. Afterwards, the leader of the Incas tells them the "magic liquid" mentioned in the preceding volume was a coca-derivative used to hypnotize the explorers who had excavated Rascar Capac's tomb as punishment for their sacrilege. Tintin convinces him to break the curse, and they return to civilization with a gift of Incan gold and jewels, while Zorrino decides to stay with the Incas.
