Advance Review of James R. Spring’s Crossing the Gap For some five hundred years the Darién landscape – a little sliver of jungle land at the junction of seas and continents – has transformed everyone and everything that has found its way to it. Enterprises have failed, great nations humiliated. Like Mt. Everest or the churning Colorado River, it’s a vital force, sacred to some, a curse to others. As so many do, James Spring walks into the Darién knowing everything and nothing about it. When he finally walks out, his transcontinental pilgrimage complete, he is changed – and, dramatically, so is the reader. We know we’ve been some place extraordinary. Crossing the Gap is an engrossing tale told with uncommon honesty and freshness. Todd Balf, former Senior Editor of Outside Magazine, and author of the New York Times Best-seller The Darkest Jungle |

The book Crossing the Gap by author James R. Spring is a tale about an ill conceived excursion to the Darien Gap,
the remote Darien jungle that separates Panama from Colombia.
