and that is one creepy, intense story. Loved it. That other book, though, does not come up in any search so I'll bet it's The Lost City of the Monkey God which is a brand new Preston book and it's a true story. It sounds marvelous.
In 1940, a swashbuckling journalist ventured into the rain forest of Honduras and returned with hundreds of artifacts and an electrifying story of having found the Lost City of the Monkey God-but then committed suicide without revealing its location. Three quarters of a century later, Doug Preston joined a team of scientists on a quest. In 2012 he climbed aboard a rickety, single-engine plane carrying a machine that would change everything: a highly advanced, classified technology that could map the terrain under the dense rain forest canopy. In an unexplored valley ringed by steep mountains, that flight revealed the unmistakable image of a sprawling metropolis, tantalizing evidence of not just an undiscovered city but an enigmatic, lost civilization.
"Suspenseful and shocking, filled with colorful history, hair-raising adventure, and dramatic twists of fortune, THE LOST CITY OF THE MONKEY GOD is the absolutely true, eyewitness account of one of the great discoveries of the twenty-first century."
I can't wait to read it!!
