Get lost in the jungles, and go on an epic adventure in the search for a lost city. Douglas Preston takes you through Honduras, and the decades-long search for the White City. Many are convinced that it does not exist, but there are some that are sure it does.
This was a fascinating read, and it was a great journey! I absolutely LOVED this book. For those who are interested in archaeology and lost civilizations, this will captivate you from the beginning, and share the ups and downs of excavating in a jungle setting.
The book is overall very interesting. The author is a guarantee of an engrossing story. The subject was very difficult to put on page in a convincing way but overall Preston did a good job.
Fantastic read! Best armchair travel read I've had in a long time! And a ton of educational material.
The closing chapter is pretty prophetic.
