A Triumph of the Human Spirit
22 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
This novel is not only about the conquest to defeat Mt. Everest, it is about the strength of the human spirit.
While attempting to top Mt. Everest 10 climbers come to grips with their weaknesses and strengths. They come to understand about morality and the things that are truly important in this life.
This novel was a good read on several levels.

If you can find it, buy it!

Format:Hardcover
This is a very well-written book -- also harrowing, scary and depressing. You will finish it feeling like you just barely survived. Long, as a climber himself, captures the desperate alienness of the Death Zone. Read it!

This book ROCKS!
28 April 2004
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Long is a talented, insightful, and original writer. He's written a story that never lets up, and leads you places you never thought you'd go. Go ahead, try putting it down once you've started. Can't wait for more............
