I enjoyed living the adventure safely in my armchair, away from threats of the powerful drug cartels, menacing landscapes, and definitely away from the fer-de-lance, one of the deadliest pit vipers which visited them more than once during their voyage through the beautiful jungle. Hidden treasures, along with hidden dangers, surrounded them during their entire arduous journey.
The book brilliantly details this ‘ground truthing’ and all the incredible preparations and compromising which were required to take on and complete such a mind-blowing goal. 1940 Depiction of the Lost City of the Monkey God by Virgil Finlay
No ‘boots on the ground’ had yet been placed to confirm the equipment’s detections. At the time, though, only an aerial survey using technological advanced equipment had greatly suggested the location for the Lost City of the Monkey God had been identified.
In a previous interview I did with Douglas Preston, back in 2013 (Six Questions with Douglas Preston), he mentions working on this discovery. Preston grabs your attention straight away as he shares the dangers an expedition will face in order to discover the believed Lost City of the Monkey God in an untouched and lethal region of La Mosquitia in Honduras. Anyone who loves adventure must read and will thoroughly enjoy Douglas Preston’s new book, The Lost City of the Monkey God: A True Story.
