Reviews"A well-documented and engaging read...The author's narrative is rife with jungle derring-do and the myriad dangers of the chase."-- USA Today, "If Indiana Jones had kept a diary, it might have read much like Preston's new nonfiction work. After discovering a forgotten city in the Amazonian forest, an undertaking he documents in The Lost City of the Monkey God , the author travels across the globe, seeking to solve some of the ancient world's most beguiling mysteries." -- Alta, Praise for The Lost City of the Monkey God "Memoirs of jungle adventures too often devolve into lurid catalogs of hardships [but] Preston proves too thoughtful an observer and too skilled a storyteller to settle for churning out danger porn. He has instead created something nuanced and sublime: a warm and geeky paean to the revelatory power of archaeology...Few other writers possess such heartfelt appreciation for the ways in which artifacts can yield the stories of who we are."-- The New York Times Book Review
