An award-winning author's quest to find and understand a creature as rare and enigmatic as any on Earth In 1992, scientists discovered the remains of an animal with exquisite long horns. It turned out to be a living species -- a saola, the first large land mammal discovered in fifty years. Rare then and rarer now, a live saola had never been glimpsed by a Westerner in the wild when Pulitzer Prize finalist and nature writer William deBuys and conservation biologist William Robichaud set off to search for it in central Laos. Their team endured a punishing trek through terrain ribboned with armed poachers' snare lines. In the tradition of Bruce Chatwin, Colin Thubron, and Peter Matthiessen, THE LAST UNICORN is a sensory look deep into one of the world's most remote places, pursuing a species as rare and elusive as the fabled unicorn.
