The British mountaineer craves a final shot at the peak that claimed his comrades. Driven by their bitter pasts, the four converge on Nepal's Mt.

Amazon Reviews:
"The first chapter which takes place in a Japanese warplane over Tibet is outstanding. It grabs the reader and doesn't let go. Excellent writing. The story line of each character is brilliantly constructed as the novel is brought to an explosive conclusion. If you enjoy historical thrillers, I recommend this effort. (M&D)

"A good World War II epic with settings in civil war Spain, depression America, and the Far East." (AC)

"I loved this book for its historical scenes, believable characters, and intriguing plot. I was surprised at the romance interspersed throughout the story. In many ways, it's more a romantic-spiritual adventure than a novel about war." (LoMo)

"A powerful story of love and war. Actually, it's four beautifully intertwined stories of four tormented strangers and their confrontation with an evil force atop a 23,000 foot ridge in the Himalaya. Incredible research went into this 1930's pre-war novel. I was taken by the detailed, living backdrop of Spain's civil war, America's great depression, and the mystic Far East." (GK)

"Far more than fiction with so much historical accuracy in its backdrop." (AC)

"This book has four main characters and sub plots that build to its explosive climax. An exciting story that describes the reality of covert missions in World War 2. Definitely worth a read for historical reasons and for a book which will keep you guessing at the convergence of the sub plots." (AS... Australia)

Book Two, The Battle, is available on Amazon.
