Shortlisted: 2016 Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature Shortlisted: 2016 Banff Mountain Book Competition 'It's the classic of post-war mountain writing.' – Jim Perrin 'Rarely do I encounter a cannot-put-down book, but Simon McCartney's aptly titled The Bond is exceptional in many ways.' – Tom Hornbein Simon McCartney was a cocky young British alpinist climbing many of the hardest routes in the Alps during the late seventies, but it was a chance meeting in Chamonix in 1977 with Californian 'Stonemaster' Jack Roberts that would dramatically change both their lives – and almost end Simon's. Inspired by a Bradford Washburn photograph published in Mountain magazine, their first objective was the 5,500-foot north face of Mount Huntington, one of the most dangerous walls in the Alaska Range. The result was a route so hard and serious that for decades nobody believed they had climbed it – it is still unrepeated to this day. Then, raising the bar even higher, they made the first ascent of the south-west face of Denali, a climb that would prove almost fatal for Simon, and one which would break the bond between him and climbing, separating the two young climbers. But the bond between Simon and Jack couldn't remain dormant forever. A lifetime later, a chance reconnection with Jack gave Simon the chance to bury the ghosts of what happened high on Denali, when he had faced almost certain death. The Bond is Simon McCartney's story of these legendary climbs.

It starts like a joke: an intensely motivated young British climber and a similarly enthusiastic young American walk into a bar-but what follows is the essence of a good climbing yarn. Following their meeting in 1977, Simon McCartney and Jack Roberts completed two astonishingly bold Alaskan first ascent. Then McCartney disappeared from the climbing scene entirely, emerging nearly forty years later to tell the story. Not only did Roberts and McCartney make the first ascents of Mount Huntington's north face-one of the most dangerous walls in the Alaska Range-and the technically difficult southwest face of Denali; but they did so in a minimalist style that pushed the boundaries of climbing. With an attitude of "the only way off is up," they reached the foot of these faces and simply started climbing. The ascent of Mount Huntington's north face was made in the summer of 1978; Denali's southwest face in 1980. Told primarily via McCartney's first-person narrative and extracts from Roberts's diaries, The Bond shares the experience of these two challenging climbs-and the strong bond forged between the climbers. It is a gripping story of phenomenal climbing feats, wry humor, serious danger and privation, hallucinations, bad weather, lucky breaks, inspirational personal sacrifice, searing honesty, triumph, and near tragedy.

In 1978, a pair of climber--Jack Roberts and Simon McCartney--made the first ascent of the North Face of Mount Huntington in a ten-day push with only five days of supplies. Two years later, they teamed up again to make the first ascent of the Southwest Face of Mount McKinley. Nearly at the summit, and after days without food, Simon contracted cerebral edema and the pair could neither climb nor descend. When all hope was gone, another pair of climbers reached the top of the Cassin Ridge and stumbled upon the stranded duo. What ensued was an epic ten-day battle for four men to survive on the most dangerous mountain in North America. Almost forty years later, neither route has been repeated because they are considered too difficult and dangerous. The psychological damage was so powerful that McCartney never climbed again. Beyond the Breaking Point is Simon's account, told for the first time. This book is more than a tale of incredible climbing adventure. It is also the gripping story of one man who goes beyond what is considered possible and the life-changing consequences.

This is my second book about the Falklands War, The book is foreword by Major-General Malcolm Hunt OBE FRSA. .This time I have recorded interviews, written statements from both British and Argentine Marines and even permission to publish a poem! These are backed up with some iconic pictures. 40 Commando Royal Marines gets little or no coverage during the Falkland’s war. Many historians dismiss the unit as only playing the bland role of Brigade reserve. This was NOT the case. Alpha and Charlie Companies were attached to the Welsh Guards and took the southern route towards Port Stanley. Others were committed to 45 Commando RM and as for Bravo and HQ well, they were kept busy with actions on the West Island. My concept in this book is to give personal accounts by myself from or attached to 40 Commando RM and our adversaries from the Argentine Marines, during Operation Corporate (1982). As a young 19 year old Royal Marine in 9 Troop, C Company, I landed with the first wave at San Carlos Settlement Blue Beach, progressed on to Wreck Point, Ajax Bay and with the rest of A and C Companies was eventually attached to the Welsh Guards after the air bombing of Sir Galahad. During this period we formed the start line for the attack on Mount Harriet, advanced on Mount William and took Sapper Hill in the only 'hot' helicopter assault during the war that resulted in casualties and fatalities. A hill that the Welsh Guards seem to imply they alone had attacked and won. The fact being that the Welsh Guards did not fire one shot. The synopsis: A brief resume before my induction into the Royal Marines training at Commando Training Centre Royal Marines (CTCRM). The Falklands-War call up and sailing south on the P&O SS Canberra. The first landings at San Carlos Settlement off HMS Fearless at night. Air attacks In Bomb Alley. A and C Companies move from 3 Commando Brigade to join the 5th Army Brigade at Bluff Cove to replace the loss of Welsh Guards on Sir Galahad. A and C Companies southern route. Yomping over rivers of rock to the start line for the attack on Mount Harriet. Another night yomp this time through a mine field and getting stuck with casualties,. the little known and only 'hot' helicopter attack during the Falklands War on Sappers Hill by 9 and some members of 8 Troop. There is also a section on the Royal Marines ships attachment on HMS Yarmouth. The written accounts explain in some detail about being stuck in a minefield for five hours with casualties. Then immediately afterwards, the only helicopter daytime attack, under fire from Argentine Marines, by 9 Troop, 40 Commando Royal Marines at Sappers Hill, the last high ground before Port Stanley. This episode resulted in fatalities and casualties. Finally I comment on the Pros and Cons of the War and an unpalatable plaque placed on Sapper Hill by the Welsh Guards.

A plane crashes on a desert island and the only survivors, a group of schoolboys, assemble on the beach and wait to be rescued. By day they inhabit a land of bright fantastic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are haunted by the image of a terrifying beast.
