This brand new book documents the amazing journeys of Volker Kess to Indonesia's Flores & Komodo islands to photograph the somewhat mythical, elusive and legendary Komodo dragons.

It presents striking photographs together with biological information, yet it truly shines through its humorous and poignant anecdotes and reports of dragon attacks.

The book is a unique rendering of how the author's personal experiences with the Komodo dragons and other endangered species have shaped his life as a nature photographer and environmentalist.
