Holy Cow! This is my new favorite book. It combines adventure and thriller all in one. I knew almost nothing about the Amazon when I started and raced through it being not only totally entertained but also learning lots!
This is the story of British explorer Percy Harrison Fawcett who lived when the not much was known about, particularly, the Americas. He set off to map the Amazon jungles and rivers. Chilling facts...very well researched. The author, who is an unlikely adventurer, takes it upon himself to trace some of Fawcett's exploration with the use of modern technology...great comparisons. I couldn't put this one down...
