Most disappointing. Dugard's other books have been great, but this one reads more like a sermon, and a boring one at that. Constant references to the “Lizard Brain” in a book about explorers. Also, did anyone edit this? Page 177 - “produced a current of 650 volts” - voltage is measured in volts, current in amperes. Three pages later he describes something as “an explorer's wet dream”. Indeed.
