Mystery Cities of the Maya

Reprinted from London publisher Thomas Duckworth's 1925 classic on the Atlantis myth, this is a rollicking archeological adventure in the Central American jungle by one of the last gung-ho English explorers in the tradition of Livingston. Gann battles pirates along Belize's coasts and excavates a strange lost city amid waves of scorpions, unrelenting heat and sabotaged redherring maps.
