Publisher's summary

From Harvard Yard to the Andes, a story of discovery, love, and loss.

In 1985, three Harvard archaeology graduate students travel to Peru for a backpacking trip to seek adventure, culture, and historic sites. While exploring undiscovered Incan ruins on the remote eastern frontier of the old empire, the friends witness an unspeakable crime. Their enchanting trip becomes a primal fight for survival.

The three friends must come to terms with their experiences, and each student's recovery and healing process becomes intensely personal and continues for decades. This is a story of exploration, endurance, and the cruelty of lost love.

In his new novel, Dee Dauphinee, author of When You Find My Body: The Disappearance of Geraldine Largay on the Appalachian Trail and Highlanders Without Kilts, takes listeners on a true adventure, immersing them in a backpacking expedition into remote parts of the Andes. Dauphinee guides the listeners from the preparation and logistics of the excursion through its long, dirty, sweaty reality—warts and all.

Adventure & Mystery - all true!

I really enjoyed this book… The narrator was an expert and made all of the various characters and cultures come alive. The detail was almost painful at times, however, I really enjoyed learning about Peru, particularly through the eyes of PhD, archaeology and anthropology students in the 1980s.

All the Creatures That Breathe

I really enjoyed listening to this novel. The book blends love, adventure and the uncertain times many countries experience. I had no idea how excited archeologists get when they find ruins of a civilization. The narrator did a great job. My recommendation is to get a copy, sit back and go for an adventure with All the Creatures that Breathe.

Riveting Story & Excellent Narration

Captivating from start to finish, the narrator’s voice was rhythmic and flowed eloquently with the story. Highly recommend!

Beginning was great; ending not so much

I really enjoyed the narration and the story, for the most part. Technical issues arose many times where the chapter would end abruptly and right in the middle of a sentence. I could get over that, my main problem with the book was the ending was so disappointing. I was given a free code to listen to this book and it was definitely worth that much. I'm sorry I just can't recommend this book at all.
