From the master of pulp comes a chilling tale that howls down through History from 1924.

Describing what really happened to the fated Mallory and Irvine expedition through the journals and notes collected by a Sherpa and passed down through the generations, Abominable crackles with gripping drama, taut fear and Edwardian vigour, set against the foreboding Himalayan peaks.

Featuring brave adventurers, fearsome weather, superstitious porters and a certain shaggy, lumbering monster, this tale will have you turning the pages until you reach the breathless end.

A Cracking read as always from Mr Meikle - short but well worth the entry price.

Is the mystery of that ill-fated final ascent by Mallory and Irvine finally revealed . . . ?

Abominable, in its title, leaves nothing to the imagination about what happens to the two climbers on that 1924 attempt to summit Everest, but the twists in this great little read are something you will not expect. How far did the two climbers get? Did they really survive? How much would you pay to find out the truth?

It's a short read, but a good one, and the way Meikle blends journal quotes with the persuasive narrative of a Nepalese Sherpa, makes this story a pleasure to read.

A fantastic short tale.
Of the two Meikle books I've bought for my Kindle, this is my favourite and I'll be buying more.
