Yes, his many best-sellers with Lincoln Child are fun, suspenseful romps chronicling the adventures of an FBI agent. But he's also an extremely capable investigator who, along with Italian journalist Mario Spezi wrote 2008's fabulous "The Monster of Florence: A True Story," a spellbinding work of nonfiction about a series of grisly murders in Tuscany.This time, the subject matter is equally compelling — an ancient and sacred city in Honduras known as the White City or the Lost City of the Monkey God. For generations, indigenous people passed along stories of ancestors who fled there to escape Spanish invaders and that anyone who enters would get sick and die.In 2012, Preston joined a group of scientists, archaeologists, photographers and film producers who traveled to La Mosquitia, an unexplored and dangerous region of Central American jungle. They faced floods, mountains, jaguars, deadly snakes, disease-carrying insects and other inherent challenges. They brought along a new piece of NASA-owned laser technology known as LIDAR or Light Detection and Ranging, which confirmed a sprawling metropolis inhabited around the same time as the Mayan civilization in modern-day Mexico.

Their intent was to map the city as well as explore and protect its rumored riches.Preston unspools the history of the White City, the expedition and the journey itself in detail — sometimes in too much detail. The book originated as an article in National Geographic and it may have been a better story if kept restrained to magazine size. Lengthy discussions of scientific equipment, aircraft, landing zones and, later, infectious diseases, while fascinating on their own, feel somewhat superfluous and ill-placed.The latter especially — an in-depth history of smallpox and other deadly diseases that systematically wiped out indigenous peoples — was a compelling read, but its contribution at the end of this book felt out of place.It's possible that part of the dissatisfaction at the conclusion of this tale was rooted in the dissatisfaction in the expedition itself. While a remarkably important scientific discovery, the team's chief archaeologist decreed nothing could be excavated from the site at the time, which feels anticlimactic to the general public — and readers.

What to Read Next A Motorcyclist's Life Without Glasses Wednesday, October 12, 2016 Preston Tooks has been riding motorcycles for over 30 years. His passion is fueled by the constant play between thrill and peacefulness he feels as he sails around curves and down stretches of the rural roads he loves so much. As a lifelong rider, he knows the importance of safety to any ride. A Commitment to Safety Preston’s commitment to safety extends far beyond just wearing the right helmet. motorcycle shops in fredericksburg txHe’s the founder of Shiftn Steel Sport Riderz, a motorcycle organization dedicated to safe rides and sharing the passion for the sport with others who love to ride.motorcycle repair shops in florence sc Shiftn Steel rides typically consist of over twenty riders, and start early in the morning. motorcycle dealerships in new rochelle ny

After gassing up and indulging in a good breakfast, the riders take to the roads. There’s always someone leading and someone at the back to help the group with traffic. Preston says that, in addition to safety, the main goal of the organization is to have fun connecting with fellow riders. “For people who love to ride motorcycles, there’s this great passion of being together with people who love what you love.” One fateful day during a solo ride, Preston’s glasses fogged up in the middle of a turn, right as he was taking an exit ramp off the highway. harley davidson 883 for sale indiaHe slowed down and pulled over, and a car too close behind him honked its horn as he maneuvered to narrowly avoid a collision. motorcycle dealers in freeport nyNo one was hurt, but that near accident was the wakeup call that led Preston to decide to get laser vision correction.craigslist motorcycles for sale in riverside ca

The LASIK Difference on the Road Now, Preston never has to worry about a foggy lens slowing him down or putting him in an unsafe situation. He can ride, solo or with a group, knowing that his vision is reliably clear. People tend to associate laser surgery with luxury. For some, that is true. But for just as many, LASIK enhances experiences and even safety. Preston is one of my many patients who have seen the practical benefits of LASIK in daily living. Besides the safety and health benefits of his vision correction, Preston has found that it’s made his rides even more enjoyable. harley davidson for sale fresnoThat peaceful feeling he chases after a long work week is amplified by the clarity with which he now sees his surroundings. As he rides past farm lands and through the woods, every vista sings with renewed clarity. Autumn leaves fall, shimmering as they catch the morning sun through the trees, and Preston can see every one as he courses by.
