This would have been an excellent choice for April's selection. Very interesting and well written, although there are some minor quirks from translation I suspect. I won't say much more because it will be in January's runner-up poll too and I will be voting for it then. Unfortunately for me the next book in the series,
The Dark Forest, is not available from my library yet and the final book hasn't been translated yet but will be this year.
Next Up:
The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon by David Grann.

Over the years countless perished trying to find evidence of his party and the place he called "The Lost City of Z." In this masterpiece of narrative nonfiction, journalist David Grann interweaves the spellbinding stories of Fawcett's quest for "Z" and his own journey into the deadly jungle, as he unravels the greatest exploration mystery of the twentieth century.
