Blurb (from back cover): "World adventure and international monster hunter Josh Gates has careeened through nearly 100 countries, investigating frightening myths, chilling cryptozoological legends and terrifying paranormal phenomena. Now, he invites fans to get a behind-the-scenes look at these breathtaking expeditions.
"Follow Gates from the inception of the groundbreaking hit show (at the summit of Kilimanjaro) to his hair-raising encounters with dangerous creatures in the most treacheous locations on earth. Among his many adventures, he unearths the flesh-crawling reality of the Mongolian Death worm, challenges an ancient curse by spending the night in King Tut's tomb, descends into a centuries-old mine to seach for an alien entity in subterranean darkness, pursues ghosts in the radioactive shadow of Chernobyl, and explores sightings of Bigfoot from the leech-infested rain forest so Malaysia to the dizzying heights of the Himalayas."
Opinion: As a fan of this show, I remember some of these adventures. It was nice to read Josh's takes on someof his travels. Much crazier than I am.
