In any case, if you’re used to Bosley’s previous work, or fascinated in these particular subjects, this book will be a quick read for you. Knowledge that could arguably set the foundation for something much more, advanced. This is easy to see once we see the breadth and scope of the technological capabilities, history and knowledge that could be had from the search and seizure of ancient loot, knowledge, et al.
The answer to the question, and more, is the quest of Bosley.Īt certain junctures, this book even dovetails slightly with his previous Secret Missions book, which goes to show how much interest the ruling powers of the day had in the civilizations of ‘high antiquity’. What was so imperative, that long after Burton is gone, long after the world has changed over countless times, that information found in an expedition – that according to mainstream biographers didn’t take place – that took six months and countless locales still hasn’t made the light of day? Not because the author doesn’t search, but because some of the vital data is downright classified still to this day. Secret Missions 2: The Lost Expeditions Of Sir Francis Burton is a strong sequel to the first book Secret Missions: The Hidden Legacy Of Old California, which was just as dynamite as this one.īosley begins by building the background for the case that Burton – as an agent of multiple institutions – carries out a classic ‘op within an op’ that covert circles are littered with.įrom locale to locale facts are explored & synthesized, thence extrapolated from rather incisively in a way that makes the reader follow the case he is making for Burton’s hunt for an ancient civilization.īurton’s extensive work is used to build the case, and many of the finer theories are inferred quite logically given the availability, and sometimes lack thereof of information. In his second book in the ‘Secret Mission’ series, Walter Bosley takes us on an adventure that’s quite breathtaking as it is thought provoking. "History is a Greek word which means, literally, just investigation."
