I'm guessing that this adventure series was written for 11-16 year old boys. This would make an interesting supplemental text for a sociology or anthropology course, because the language we use to describe other cultures has certainly changed. The two boys, Tom and Frank, mention that they built the radios that they use (rarely) during this adventure, but I'm surprised that more isn't shared about the tech, since I suspect readers of the 1920's and 30's would have appreciated the details. If you can overlook the 1920 cultural lens, what's left is basically a 90-year-old "Guys Read" serialized novel.… (más)

An excellent read about this period of history that is often covered in school by lists of Explorers with accompanying dates. I highly recommend this as reading preparation for any trip to Mexico or Peru. I have had it on my bookcase forever and wish I had read it sooner. Mr. Verrill makes the people come alive.

Many of Hyatt Verrill's 106 books were never republished. The Radio Detectives series of four novels are like the Hardy Boys books with more travel involved. I liked the series so much that I republished them since they were so hard to find. You will find this and the second volume on Lulu.Com. Each of the four novels were short so I have put two novels in each book! They were a great read! http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/lulubook22… (más)
