The Cloud Garden: A True Story of Adventure, Survival, and Extreme Horticulture

This book has everything I like: a true story of an unusual adventure, travel in an exotic place, and finding strength in friendship and overcomming obstacles. I love books about capture and escape. And this tale of young men stumbling into the Darien Strait and right into more trouble than they bargained for is a true and complete tale. You may tire here and there with talk of plants, but most of the story deals with dealing with their captors. And the ever present threat of death .
