What’s it like to be the first to enter an Egyptian burial chamber that’s been sealed for thousands of years?
From the jungles of Honduras to macabre archaeological sites in the American Southwest, Douglas Preston's explorations have taken him across the globe. The Lost Tomb brings together a compelling collection of true stories about buried treasure, enigmatic murders, lost tombs, bizarre crimes, and other fascinating tales of the past and present.

Praise for The Lost City of the Monkey GodThe New York Times Book Review
"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." -
"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
-
"Deadly snakes, flesh-eating parasites, and some of the most forbidding jungle terrain on earth were not enough to deter Douglas Preston from a great story."The Boston Globe
-
"Breezy, colloquial and sometimes very funny...A very entertaining book."The Wall Street Journal
-
"This modern-day archeological adventure and medical mystery reads as rapidly as a well-paced novel, but is a heart-pounding true story."Shelf Awareness (Starred Review)
