Redmond O'Hanlon, hacking his way up an unmapped tributary of the Amazon, fearful (and not without good reason) of ending his days in someone's cooking pot, has managed to keep that tradition alive." -Jonathan Raban "No Mercy: A Journey into the Heart of the Congo" "Old-fashioned, gut-wrenching, real-life adventure . . .
