Crimen, canibalismo, una expedición maldita y un misterio enterrado en el tiempo.Preston y Child inauguran una irresistible serie que mezcla arqueología, historia, crimen y suspense. La joven arqueóloga Nora Kelly recibe una extraordinaria propuesta: liderar un equipo en busca del llamado «Campamento perdido» de la expedición Donner. Su misterio se remonta a 1847, cuando un grupo de pioneros quedó atrapado en las montañas de California y se perdió su pista hasta que algunos famélicos supervivientes pudieron salir del desierto, delirando sobre hambre, asesinatos... y canibalismo. Ahora, el sorprendente hallazgo del diario de una de las víctimas que contiene una enigmática descripción del campamento promete ser la pista definitiva para localizarlo. Nora acepta dirigir una expedición para revelar sus secretos tanto tiempo enterrados, pero, una vez en las montañas, se da cuenta de que este es solo el primer paso en una espeluznante aventura. Porque a medida que descubren antiguos huesos y monedas de oro, la verdad que sale a la luz es mucho más impactante y extraña que el mero canibalismo. Y cuando esos horrores del pasado conducen a nueva violencia en el presente, la novata agente del FBI Corrie Swanson es asignada al caso... solo para descubrir que su primera investigación bien podría ser la última. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The #1 New York Times bestselling authors Preston & Child bring the true story of the ill-fated Donner Party to new life in this thrilling novel of archaeology, history, murder, and suspense. Nora Kelly, a young curator at the Santa Fe Institute of Archaeology, is approached by historian Clive Benton with a once-in-a-lifetime proposal: to lead a team in search of the so-called "Lost Camp" of the tragic Donner Party. This was a group of pioneers who earned a terrible place in American history when they became snow-bound in the California mountains in 1847, their fate unknown until the first skeletonized survivors stumbled out of the wilderness, raving about starvation, murder-and cannibalism. Benton tells Kelly he has stumbled upon an amazing find: the long-sought diary of one of the victims, which has an enigmatic description of the Lost Camp. Nora agrees to lead an expedition to locate and excavate it-to reveal its long-buried secrets. Once in the mountains, however, they learn that discovering the camp is only the first step in a mounting journey of fear. For as they uncover old bones, they expose the real truth of what happened, one that is far more shocking and bizarre than mere cannibalism. And when those ancient horrors lead to present-day violence on a grand scale, rookie FBI agent Corrie Swanson is assigned the case...only to find that her first investigation might very well be her last.

Historical Storytelling at its Finest
Format: Hardcover
This book is simply superb!
This is storytelling at its finest. The illustrations pull you deeper into the personal history of historic events, and they manage to fool your senses into believing you might actually be there. My eyes lingered on them, and I found myself flipping back to previous panels to review them for subtleties I missed the first time.
I teach middle school history, and I've been yearning for a book that would dare to cover the scope and breadth of the American Civil War. The authors have written a page turning graphic novel that will appeal to all ages, and will grip even those with a brief knowledge of U.S. history.
This should be on the reading list of every American history class, and in the library of every school in the country. The history is first rate.

Love this book
Format: Hardcover
Love this book! Super entertaining. It doesnt provide a detailed account of yhe events of the American Civil War, but it gives you the important parts of the war and illustrates them. Really great to read. I needed it for a class and I could have borrowed it from a friend, but I found it here for a great price and I don't regret buying it.

Beautiful, Evocative, and Sharply Written
Format: Hardcover
Battle Lines is one of the best books I've read, in any genre, in a long time. It's beautiful, evocative, and sharply written. The stories it tells are layered and complex, but presented in an engaging way. You can read it in one sitting or enjoy the nuances and details of the images and words more slowly. Either way, it's well worth it.

Graphic Illustration and Textual Accompaniment Bring the Civil War into Close Focus
Format: Hardcover
Brilliant graphic and textual overview of an incredibly massive and complex story. By zeroing in on specific moments and symbols, the whole becomes approachable and deeply affecting. Highly recommended for students (middle school through college) and anyone else motivated to gain a better understanding of one of our nation's darkest times.

A beautiful and affecting book
Format: Hardcover
A beautiful and affecting book. The civil war is, at least to me, deeply familiar, but this book focuses on the personal, and conveys with a painful immediacy the ways that the horror of this conflict infiltrated and transformed the day-to-day existence of our not-so-distant ancestors. I was struck as I have never been before by the degree to which the appalling, unprecedented violence of the conflict was "just around the corner" for familiar and modern-seeming Americans.
