Gorillas In Our Midst: Michael Crichton's Congo (1980)

Michael Crichton takes an unlikely band of explorers into central Africa to recreate the classic 'lost city' narrative, almost one hundred years after H. Rider Haggard invented this literary form. But is Crichton too interested in ape language research and red-hot 1970s tech to focus on the lost city story?Fortunately, there's an unknown species of cryptozoological gorillas menacing our team to keep things interesting.Join Cian (who is more fond of this book than 99% of the earth's population are) for a drink at the Explorers' Club to chat about Michael Crichton's Congo. And there's some bonus material from friend-of-the-show Eddie Guimont!
