Based on three disasters that occurred in Nepal in 2014, this adventure story is actually about the people, culture, and landscape of this amazing part of the world. Ronald Bagliere does a superb job of bringing his characters to life and conveying a sense of being in this beautiful country. I know; I have trekked there four times, including through each of the locations where the disasters later happened.
The three key locations of the book—Everest Base Camp, the small Sherpa village of Khum Jung, and the Thorong-La Pass—will be forever etched in my memory. I only spent several hours at Base Camp and Thorong-La, but I have stayed five nights in Khum Jung during two trips. It is one of my favorite villages in Nepal and an appropriate home for Frank Kincaid.
