"For a river-runner, Peru's Colca Canyon - twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, far narrower, more technical and remote--is the Ultimate Challenge. Eugene Buchanan's account of not just running the Colca but several more wild South American descents is a wild-river classic, worthy of every canyon corner and page turn." --Jon Bowermater, National Geographic Adventurer, "Buchanan weaves the history and the exciting story of a contemporary expedition with the clean skill of an expert kayaker running a life or death drop. And he has earned every page, with his paddle and his pen." --Peter Heller, author, The Dog Stars, "A rip-roaring adventure, packed with weird legends, peopled with obsessive characters, and shot through with ambitions as big and unbridled as the great river that spills through this crazy, picaresque tale." --Hampton Sides, author, Ghost Soldiers, "From one of the greatest outdoor writers, a terrific story of adventure and resilience." --Porter Fox, author, Deep, "It's crazy, zany, and full of fun. High adventure, yes, but in the broadest sense of the word, mixing the physical adventure of a first descent into the deepest canyon of the world with a quest for gold, a race to the finish, and more wacko characters than you can stuff into a packraft." --Jon Turk, author, The Raven's Gift, "For devotees of over-the-top, no-hold-barred whitewater adventure, Eugene Buchanan's Brothers on the Bashkaus has long been the gold standard when it comes to a truly epic river story. But with Comrades on the Colca , Buchanan appears to have outdone even himself (which is no mean feat). Hang on tight and brace for the ride of a lifetime." --Kevin Fedarko, author, The Emerald Mile, "[Eugene Buchanan's] rich flashbacks to previous paddling adventures, like a fatality on the Rio Negro in Colombia, an exploratory mission on Ecuador's Rio Quitos, and an ant-addled, jaguar-stalked, flood-ravaged descent of Peru's Rio Tambopata--add penetrating perspective to his tale, lending it a depth that makes it an instant classic among legendary paddle tomes." -- The Denver Post, "In his new book, Eugene Buchanan, a renowned journalist and paddler, recounts the wild race between his team of explorers and a Polish group in 2008. Both teams were in search of Incan artifacts in part of Peru's Colca Canyon. Expert first-person narrative tells of incredible adventure in a riveting tale of ambition, peril, and discovery.

Synopsis
A modern-day, real life adventure, this book will take readers along for a rollicking ride through South America on a race to the bottom of the Earth. When the author first met Polish explorer, Yurek Majcherczyk on a commercial feasibility expedition down Ecuador's Quijos River in 1989, he did not know it would lead to taking part in a Polish race, stumbling upon a mummy-filled cave and even getting wrapped up in a legend linking long-lost Incan riches to a riverfront castle in Poland. As the adventurers plunge deeper and deeper into unknown territory, they discover a rival Polish team trying to usurp their goal. The author seamlessly weaves these tales with his own exploits and adventures-climaxing with a tumultuous hike out of the canyon with both teams returning to complete their race the following year.
