The author travelled to Malaysia, Indonesia and Sumatra to find out what lay behind the legends of Sumatra's lost ape-men. In this light-hearted travel book he speculates on the origins of the human race and describes his adventures and encounters with tribal people. Benedict Allen has also written "Mad White Giant" and "Into the Crocodile Nest".

Hunting the Gugu by Benedict Allen contains the strangest tales told by travellers from the vast island of Sumatra.
Benedict Allen is one of the UK's most prominent explorers. For the past twenty-five years he has conducted solo expeditions through the Amazon jungle, along Namibia's Skeleton Coast and across Mongolia's Gobi Desert without the use of GPS, satellite phone or other means of outside support, as we as having written ten books of his adventures and editing The Faber Book of Exploration.
He was the first explorer to bring the full experience of remote travel to television - taking the genre to its limits by not using a camera crew and so bringing an immediacy to his experiences. Allen regularly gives lectures at the Royal Geographic Society.
