Review:

Couldn’t put this down.

Superb history, well researched and backed by primary sources, yet reads like a novel.

An impossibly difficult journey, for a grail quest.

Reminded me a lot of the Franklin fiasco and the tremendous waste of lives and resources spent to recover one foolish old adventurer.

Learned a lot about 19th century Africa, and that a lot has not changed.

This book made me want to: never set foot in Africa
