The 4th narrative in the bestselling NEVEREST series focuses on the Sherpas. What was their role in the 1996 Everest Disaster? What impact did the failure to fix ropes have on summit day? Where were the Sherpas during the "Huddle" on the South Col? Why was Lopsang using oxygen at Camp IV? What impact did the early Sherpa casualties, Tenzing [Adventure Consultants] and Ngawang Topsche [Mountain Madness] have in compounding the problems on the mountain? The new insights are truly new as Van Der Leek attempts to find a way to identify and limit the losses in 1996 by hypothetically managing the same resources in a different way.

In 1988, Stephen Venables became the first Briton to summit Everest without oxygen. Everest: Alone at the Summit is the story of his thrilling journey. Near-impossible challenges are conquered with determination and strength, and the experience of an expedition on the world's highest mountain is recounted in a refreshingly honest light. The Kangshung Face remains the least frequented of Everest's flanks due to its narrow gullies, hanging glaciers and steep rock buttresses. This, however, did not deter Venables and his team of three international climbers, Ed Webster, Robert Anderson and Paul Teare, who not only attempted this dangerous route, but did so without the use of supplementary oxygen – testing boundaries, exploring the unknown and pushing the limits of human endurance. ' ... I forced my mind to concentrate on directing all energy to those two withered legs. The effort succeeded and I managed six faltering steps down the slope, sat back for a rest, then took six steps more, then again six steps. It was going to be a long tedious struggle, but I knew now that I was going to make it.' Venables' account of survival and success is fully immersive. He details the highs – the unique bonds made on the mountain, the stunning scenery, and the triumph of reaching the summit – as well as the lows: the threat of deadly high-altitude illness, turbulent weather and the exhaustion-induced hallucinations. Throughout it all, Venables' drive to keep going amidst hardship and his willingness to succeed is powerful – readers will find themselves invested in this extraordinary narrative from the start. As Lord Hunt, the leader of Everest's 1953 expedition, observes in the foreword: 'People who, in this age of ease and plenty, pause to reflect upon the reason why some prefer to do things the hard way, could hardly do better than read this book.'

Every day, the path up the South Col route to the summit of Everest becomes a little more worn by the tread of dozens of package-tour climbers, but few dare to try the East, or Kangshung, Face, a sheer, avalanche-swept wall of snow and ice only first conquered in 1983. Five years later, Stephen Venables intensified the challenge by leading three unknown American climbers up the East Face - this time without oxygen. The question to most climbing experts wasn't whether they would summit, but whether they would live. They nearly didn't Everest: Alone at the Summit is Venables' rousing account of one of the greatest feats of twentieth century mountaineering, a triumph over doubt, the elements and the limits of human endurance that has never been repeated. "Climbers or not, all will be interested in this mountaineering thriller of a tiny band pulling off an incredible victory-an account so stirring it will be put down only to obtain a moment's breather." -- American Alpine Journal

Fiction. Chris Leo's second novel with drawings by Marcellus Hall, 57 OCTAVES BELOW THE MIDDLE C is a jaunty exploration of the romance of paradox and, inextricably converse, the paradox of romance. New York City tour guide Steven Schecker is on a smoke break with fellow tour guides debating the etymologies, chronologies, and mysteries of everything as it relates to New York City when he spots his girlfriend's mother across the street and the two take off by foot and by tour bus on a day around the city in which the city is presented as a metaphor for his girlfriend/her daughter and her daughter/his girlfriend functions as a metaphor for the city and the two continue to spiral together and swap polarities until cocktail hour is a must. Marcellus Hall (of The New Yorker, The New York Times) has offered forty illustrations throughout the book as integral vignettes alongside the script.

King of Jerusalem and Defender of the Holy Sepulcher, Baldwin IV walks the sword's edge between the intriguing barons of his own Court and the jihad of Islam. Between the two, however, a sinister presence lurks--a heretical society called the Order of Sion that will stop at nothing to see its own dark designs come to fruition. Baldwin is young, innocent, and a military strategist of no small measure. And, he is a leper. In the midst of mounting political tensions and war, a mysterious woman unexpectedly befriends the lonely sick king--a woman who claims she is Mary Magdalen.

In 2006 freelance photojournalist and amateur climber Nick van der Leek wrote a five page analysis of the 1996 Everest disaster titled MOUNTAIN MADNESS, and published in HEARTLAND magazine. His distillation was described at the time by THE CLIMB co-author, Weston DeWalt, as 'the clearest exposition of the 1996 disaster I have ever seen'. Now, nine years later, having honed his penmanship within the rigors and deceits of the True Crime genre, Nick van der Leek is taking on the Everest narrative once more but with a fresh approach. Compared to his 2006 article, NEVEREST is a much larger and deeper analysis of the events leading up to 'the deadliest day on Mount Everest [May 10]. Van der Leek makes no bones about the purpose of this narrative: "We'll be treating the 1996 disaster as a criminal investigation; and the mountain itself as a crime scene." From this unique and fascinating vantage point the reader is dragged back into a deadly 'storm over Everest', one that brings readers and amateur climbers face to face with something more terrifying than the mountain itself. What are the motives of the men climbing the world's tallest mountain? What Van der Leek manages to achieve in NEVEREST is to show the naked ambition and base morality of many of the men and women who returned from the dismal heights to a hero's welcome. What if some of them weren't heroes? Using the psychology 'it takes a thief to catch a thief' professional photojournalist and one time climber of Kilimanjaro, Nick van der Leek demystifies the heroism of climbing. "The question is whether climbing a real mountain is an authentic process towards growing ones symbolic self, and the question is whether climbing the world's highest mountain means accessing the highest parts of the self." Would we climb that mountain if there were no picture taken at the top? Would we still push for the summit if it meant coming back and not telling a soul? By following the narrative of the MOUNTAIN MADNESS team, Van der Leek investigates and cross references what Scott Fischer's mostly American crew and clients did right as opposed to their rivals on Everest: Adventure Consultants [five members of Hall's team died on the mountain including Rob Hall]. As Van der Leek pursues an explanation to account for this incongruity he finds and then mines the golden thread buried within the great mountain. Were the teams locked in a deadly rivalry, or did they just run out of oxygen and time? Was it the weather or human error or the result of something else? What role did hubris play in Everest's deadliest day, and what role does it play in your life?
