This is a history book but it kept me hooked and turning pages as it's gripping.
The author is master storyteller and I was fascinated by the story of James Lewis aka Charles Masson.
There's plenty to learn from this book: ancient civilizations, archelogical discoveries, travel.
A lof of information, quotes from original documents but it never was dry or pedantic.
i loved what I read and I think that the author did an excellent job.
It's highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
