Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Preston has an unerring sense of suspense, of how to hold the reader in his grip.” —David Grann, #1 New York Times bestselling author, praise for the author
Buffs of buried-treasure and long-ago true-crime tales will enjoy Preston’s expertly woven tales. —Kirkus
A well-documented and engaging read...The author's narrative is rife with jungle derring-do and the myriad dangers of the chase. —USA Today
Deadly snakes, flesh-eating parasites, and some of the most forbidding jungle terrain on earth were not enough to deter Douglas Preston from a great story. —The Boston Globe
Breezy, colloquial and sometimes very funny...A very entertaining book. —The Wall Street Journal
This modern-day archeological adventure and medical mystery reads as rapidly as a well-paced novel, but is a heart-pounding true story. —Shelf Awareness (Starred Review)
