“Blind Descent: The Quest to Discover the Deepest Place on Earth” by James Tabor will take you on a mesmerizing journey to try and find the deepest cave on earth. Following two world renowned cavers, Bill Stone of the United States and Alexander Klimchouk of the Ukraine, Tabor takes you into their world of thousand foot drops, mile long belly crawls, flooded tunnels and more. Add to that absolute darkness and other psychological horrors and you will find yourself astounded at what some people will willingly do. It would be my worst nightmare.
It is an unforgettable tale. If you liked “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer or if you enjoy books of exploration and adventure, you will have to read this. Highly recommended. – Jan
