Book Description
======
A 500-year-old legend. An ancient curse. A stunning medical mystery.
And a pioneering journey into the unknown heart of the world’s densest
jungle.
Since the days of conquistador Hern??n Cort?⌐s, rumors have circulated
about a lost city of immense wealth hidden somewhere in the Honduran
interior, called the White City or the Lost City of the Monkey God.
Indigenous tribes speak of ancestors who fled there to escape the Spanish
invaders, and they warn that anyone who enters this sacred city will
fall ill and die. In 1940, swashbuckling journalist Theodore Morde returned
from the rainforest with hundreds of artifacts and an electrifying story
of having found the Lost City of the Monkey God – but then committed
suicide without revealing its location.
Three quarters of a century later, best-selling author Doug Preston
joined a team of scientists on a groundbreaking new quest. In 2012 he
climbed aboard a rickety, single-engine plane carrying the machine that
would change everything: lidar, a highly advanced, classified technology
that could map the terrain under the densest rainforest canopy. In an
unexplored valley ringed by steep mountains, that flight revealed the
unmistakable image of a sprawling metropolis, tantalizing evidence of
not just an undiscovered city but an enigmatic, lost civilization.
Venturing into this raw, treacherous, but breathtakingly beautiful wilderness
to confirm the discovery, Preston and the team battled torrential rains,
quickmud, disease-carrying insects, jaguars, and deadly snakes. But
it wasn’t until they returned that tragedy struck: Preston and others
found they had contracted in the ruins a horrifying, sometimes lethal
– and incurable – disease.
Suspenseful and shocking, filled with colorful history, hair-raising
adventure, and dramatic twists of fortune, The Lost City of the Monkey
God is the absolutely true, eyewitness account of one of the great discoveries
of the 21st century.
