This was a very interesting "True Story" to read, and anyone that says it was boring or not that great, doesn't understand this was a True Story and not a work of fiction or imagination. I love the archaeology field and stories of Lost Cities or Civilizations, but this one threw me for a loop at the end, to think they would all be struck with a parasite infection due to sand flies, the smallest of "seemed dangers" in the tropical jungle. This should throw a "caution to the wind" to anyone that thinks archaeology is a simple and safe career, as it's riddled with all kinds of dangers that people don't think actually occur. I have had a desire to explore unknown ruins, but this book throws caution to the wind, to be careful, as you have to "think of almost everything" that could go wrong, even down to the simplest of things "like bug bites". This author does a very good job of telling the story, and the Large Print version is the best, as it also includes pictures of the people involved and the lands they explored. This was a GREAT BOOK to read, and it had me hooked with roller coaster drama, and I was able to finish it in 2 days.
