Product Information

A harrowing true story of adventure and survival. Four backpackers meet in Bolivia and set off into the rainforest on a dream expedition, lured by the promise of uncharted villages and forgotten tribes hidden in places tourists only dream of seeing. But what begins as the adventure of a lifetime quickly becomes a struggle for survival when they get lost in the wilds of the Amazonian jungle. The group splits up after disagreements, and Yossi and Kevin try to find their own way without a guide. When a terrible rafting accident separates the two men, Yossi is forced to survive for weeks alone in one of the most unpredictable environments on the planet. Stranded without a knife, map or survival training, he must improvise shelter and forage for wild fruit to survive. As his skin begins to rot from his feet during raging storms, he wonders if any of them will make it back alive. Told with gripping immediacy, it's an extraordinary, terrifying tale that you won't be able to put down.

  • Good story but badly written

    The story itself is interesting but I felt it was badly written and composed. A lot of similar detail throughout, no photos or maps to help visualise as you’d usually expect in this type of book. Worth a read at a second hand price but want to just get to the end and find out what happened, could be half the size and you’d still reap the same from the book.

  • A triumph of the human will for survival.

    This really is a compelling read. It was difficult to put down. A triumph of will over adversity.
