THE LAST ORCHID HUNTER

Lance Birk's adventures collecting orchids in jungles from around the world are recounted in this AUDIO-BOOK. Personal accounts of his exploits on his numerous expeditions during the second half of the 20th Century are described in lucid details. These often harrowing stories seem more fitting for an action-adventure movie screen, yet they are all actual events that occurred in Birk's search for the real truth about orchids. Covering over 25 years, these stories are fully detailed in 39 separate chapters of his newest book.
