OUR FEATURED BOOKS

I just read Steve House’s new book—I bought a signed advance copy from the man himself. It is a great read.

Dubbed by Reinhold Messner, “The best high-altitude climber in the world today.” Steve House’s story chronicles his experiences in the worlds highest mountains, each chapter revealing a different aspect of mountaineering.

House, along with Vince Anderson, pioneered a new direct route on the Rupal Face of Pakistan’s 8,126-meter Nanga Parbat. He also spends time pursuing climbs in the Alaska Range, the Canadian Rockies, and the European Alps.

“Part mystery, part high-flying adventure, the book is a must-read for extreme sports aficionados and for fans of real-life spy tales.”
- David Pitt, Booklist

During the Cold War, the CIA trained some of the best climbers in the world to plant a plutonium powered surveillance device in the heart of the Himalayas. The device was lost on a legendary peak called Nanda Devi. Today, nearly four pounds of plutonium are moving ever closer to the source of the Ganges River.

Having been to the set of THE ROAD, SEE HERE, I can only reaffirm my recommendation of “McCarthy’s latest novel, a frightening apocalyptic vision, narrated by a nameless man, one of the few survivors of an unspecified civilization-ending catastrophe.”

The buzz is building and if you haven’t read the book yet, there is still time to get the jump and read it before the film release, slated for Fall, 2009.
