Does
a dinosaur exist in the Congo?
Does a Yeti-like creature live in the jungles of Sumatra?
Does a fearsome Death Worm inhabit the deserts of Mongolia?
Explorer Adam Davies has traveled some of the most dangerous places in
the world in search of these and other supposedly mythical beasts. In
this fascinating account of his adventures, you'll read how he was shot
at in the Congo, arrested and interrogated by the Mongolian Army in the
Gobi Desert, filmed Norway's Nessie as it charged across a lake, and
made world news when leading scientists backed his claims that a
“jungle Yeti” exists!
FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY: Foul language, excessive drinking, sexual
situations, and encounters with some creatures of the natural world
that
would scare young children and more than a few adults as well.

About the
author...
ADAM
DAVIES has been described as an “explorer,” “adventurer,” and
“cryptozoologist.” But whatever the label, there can be no doubt that
he has crossed some of the most inhospitable and unexplored parts of
the world in an effort to bring back evidence of often legendary
beasts. When not on expedition, he is a mildmannered Civil Servant
living in Manchester in the United Kingdom. He spends most of his spare
time and all of his money searching for mysterious creatures. Both his
quests and successes have made headlines around the world.
What they're saying...
“Trek
with cryptozoologist Adam Davies as he brings his early jungle-filled
dreams to life in this series of adventurous journeys in search of lake
monsters, hairy apelike creatures, and other creatures still alive in
our world.”
– Loren Coleman, author of The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates
"Besides being an enormously entertaining and frequently riotously funny read, Extreme Expeditions
is, I felt, a very moving account of a man that is motivated by both a
fascination for these creatures and a deep concern for their safety and
preservation... I came away from reading his book with deep respect for
the man's sense of purpose and sheer determination. I think the
logistics involved in traveling to and through an area like the
Congolese jungles or the Mongolian desert would be enough to stop me in
my tracks. Once there, however, Adam and his crew have faced all manner
of danger and hardship...It's a rare opportunity and privilege to meet
someone who consistently puts himself in harm's way to pursue his
passion, and I finished Extreme Expeditions with a true admiration for Adam Davies."
– John Carlson, The Paranomalists
