This true story is about searching for the 'lost city', the 'white city', the 'city of the monkey god' in Honduras. The author is astute in describing the quick-mud, torrential rains, disease-carrying insects, jaguars, and incredible snakes of the area.
I was a bit disappointed by the brevity of the historical adventure. However, when half of the team became ill, it seemed fair to go into some depth to explain the danger and consequences of getting their disease(s).
However, I was really surprised when the book moved into a treatise about pan-epidemics and the collapse of civilizations.
