In a nutshell, Douglas Preston - a writer for National Geographic, The New Yorker, and other publications - gets involved with a team of experts and adventurers on their quest to find the fabled “Lost City of the Monkey God”, also known as the “White City” or “La Ciudad Blanca”. So, with that in mind, I’ll offer just a few of my initial thoughts after reading, rather than a complete review of the facts. Here’s one by the Daily Mail with more photos. The discovery made headlines back in 2015, as did the release of this book a couple years later, so there’s plenty of more detailed articles and interviews you can read online. Listed as one of the New York Times’ Notable Books in 2017, The Lost City of the Monkey God tells the story of how a team of archaeologists, explorers, and filmmakers recently discovered the ruins of a complex civilization in a remote, deadly region of the Honduran rainforest.
