Since the 1980s, Benedict Allen has traversed the globe in the enquiring spirit of the great Victorian explorers, pitting himself against nature & frequently hostile environments. On each of his expeditions, which generally involve daunting months alone with the world`s remotest ”tribal” peoples, he has turned his experiences into a publication that has enriched the reader`s understanding of places that would otherwise remain inacessible to surely even the most hardy traveller. The world is brimming with legends of missing links, from Yeti to Big-Foot. It was these kinds of strange travellers` tales that lured Benedict Allen to the vast green island of Sumatra, in this exploration of myth, reality, & our place in the great scheme of things. His inspiration was Theodore Hull, a muscular octogenarian survivor of Japanese prison camps, who encouraged him to set out on the trail of the lost ape-men known as the Gugu. Through a tangle of folktales, Allen found the aboriginal Kubu people, who offered him guidance into the highlands where the ferocious ape-people were said to gibber & screech all night long. & so, knowing that to find the last of the black-manned ape-men would add to a crucial piece to the jigsaw story of human evolution, Allen ventured into the dark & living forest, watched by unseen eyes. ...
