First-person accounts and diary excerpts, harrowing expeditions, nothing but the facts. When people see me reading this, they think it's one of those "Worst Case Scenario" or "Zombie Survival Guide" books. But it's not. It's a well-researched run-down on successful and tragically unsuccessful trips into unexplored lands over the past couple hundred years. So don't let the bargain-book cover fool you!
Are you sure this isn't the sequel to the "Zombie Survival Guide?"
