What reader could resist a new book by Douglas Preston called The Lost City of the Monkey God? Not this reader. Preston's book offers rewards for both the mystery fan and the nonfiction aficionado. The Lost City is addictive-fast-paced and riveting, but it's also important. We mustn't repeat the cataclysmic mistakes of the past. Ironically – as The Lost City illustrates – that's exactly what our short-sighted civilization is doing right now
Preston, at great risk to his own life, has produced a thrilling and powerful adventure story

Deftly balancing swashbuckling action with thoughtful reflections on conservation and the ethics of archaeology

A story that moves from thrilling to sobering, fascinating to downright scary - trademark Preston, in other words, and another winner
This gripping book follows every step of the journey... It's incredible enough that in this day and age there are still unexplored areas of the planet'
A grippingly told and reassuringly grown-up account of the discovery of an ancient city in Honduras
