![]() ![]() Summit is my attempt at doing exactly that – a fictional adventure story set within accurate historical and mountaineering contexts. Throughout it all I never really found a book that satisfactorily melded the two genres. I wrote Summit because when I travelled for work or to go climbing I was always reading – alternating between best–selling fiction and the verité of the mountaineering classics - one day, Stieg Larsson or James Elroy, the next, Hermann Buhl or Maurice Herzog. ![]() Part thriller, part mystery, Summit is a new take on adventure fiction that travels between the Himalaya and Europe during pre-war and current times to follow the journeys of two men as each becomes subject to the desires and devices of a cast of diverse characters - all seeking to impose their own agendas on both them and the world's highest mountain. ![]()
