Download or read book Climb the Wind written by Pamela Sargent and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native Americans win the battle for the post–Civil War American West in a fascinating alternate history fantasy from “one of the genre’s best writers” (The Washington Post). Nebula and Locus Award–winning author Pamela Sargent “loads her Springfield and heads into the post–Civil War era with a rousing tale of what might have happened had the Indians united against white encroachment. If Harry Turtledove has been driving the Alternate America stage, Pamela is now riding shotgun” (Jack McDevitt). In a different nineteenth-century version of America, after the end of the White Man’s Civil War, the victorious North sets its sights on westward expansion. But their army is greatly depleted after years of bloody conflict. And their Native American adversaries are ready . . . and waiting. As the visionary Lakota chief, Touch-the-Clouds, cements the necessary alliances with once rival tribes, two separate worlds brace for the inevitable confrontation to come. Lemuel Rowland, a US government official and full-blood Seneca Indian, has lived among the white man for most of his life. Now the approaching storm threatens to destroy everything he believes in. Torn between the culture he’s embraced and his true heritage, Lemuel has been entrusted with a grave responsibility and knows he must prove his loyalty. But to which side? Populated by a large and colorful cast of unforgettable characters—including Sitting Bull, Chief Crazy Horse, Calamity Jane, and other real-life personages—Climb the Wind is a “most enjoyable and entertaining new alternate history adventure which . . . brings a new dimension to the form” (Gahan Wilson).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raymond Sunn was elated when he was invited to join a mountaineering expedition to the far reaches of Leh, Ladakh. After summitting the snow-bound peak, he with a few of his climbing comrades, investigated a cave he had noticed on his ascent of the mountain. Little did he know that his inquisitiveness would get him and the expedition team members into serious trouble when the cave, halfway up the mountain, proved to be a cache of a huge amount of explosives and other armaments of Pakistani terrorists who had sneaked into India on a mission to create chaos in New Delhi and to assassinate the Prime Minister of India on the country's celebration of its 65th anniversary of independence. His tenacious and dogged attempt in destroying the stockpile of highly sophisticated weaponry thwarted the hideous designs of Amir Abdullah, a merciless and ruthless leader of the Laskhar group of terrorists, known throughout the world as The Ruthless Maniac. The plot moves from the far reaches of Leh, to Rawalpindi, New Delhi, Mumbai, the United States of America and culminated dramatically in Srinagar.

Download or read book One Man's Climb written by Adrian Hayes and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply moving story of the beauty and brutality of life, and death, on the world’s most unpredictable and perilous mountain. Sitting just lower than Everest at 8,611 meeres above sea level on the China–Pakistan border, the Savage Mountain claims the lives of even the most experienced climbers. Alongside severe altitude, the weather is notoriously volatile and the climb relentlessly steep. A staggering one in four attempts result in death on the mountain. In One Man’s Climb, Adrian Hayes details an intensely personal account of his attempts to climb K2 – first in 2013 and again in 2014. Absorbing and self-reflective, his journey is as much a story of climbing a mountain as it is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to endure.

Book Synopsis I'll Climb Mount Everest Alone by : Dennis Roberts
Download or read book I'll Climb Mount Everest Alone written by Dennis Roberts and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a sad, strange and touchingly heroic book. It tells of a mad, misguided adventure: one man's attempt to conquer Mount Everest. Maurice Wilson belonged to the 'lost generation'. He fought in the First World War, winning the Military Cross, but found the transition to civilian life difficult. He led a restless, rootless life and suffered ill-health. This changed mysteriously in 1932 when through, it would seem, a combination of prayer and fasting he cured himself. His Mount Everest ambitions started to take shape. They could not have been more ambitious. His odyssey was to begin in Britain. He bought himself an airplane. He couldn't fly, was a poor student, but finally learnt the rudiments. Despite all the odds, and much official obstruction, he managed to fly to India. More obstacles followed, but on 21 March, 1934 Maurice Wilson and three Sherpas slipped out of Darjeeling disguises as Buddhist monks. Wilson's first attempt on Mount Everest was solo. It failed. He tried again this time with the three Sherpas. They made better progress initially. From the base camp, Wilson made two more attempts on the final ascent. A year later Eric Shipton's reconnaissance party found his body at the approaches to the North Col. They also found his diary: the final entry read, 'Off again, gorgeous day.' The diary provides an astonishing record of persistence, courage, and a faith that never wavered in the face of appalling hardship and adversity. Although this is a chronicle of failure, the achievement can still be marvelled at. Here was a man with no flying or mountaineering experience whatsoever who managed to fly from Britain to India and then nearly conquers Mount Everest : there are even those who speculate he might have done so but even without that fanciful embellishment it is an extraordinary story. This book, first published in 1957, has been out of print for a very long time. Its renewed availability will delight not just those interested in mountaineering but also connoisseurs of adventure stories.

Download or read book Why We Climb written by Chris Noble and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why We Climb is a celebration, in word and image, of those aspects of the climbing life that are most universal, meaningful, and long lasting— the strong connection to partners and nature; the physical and mental mastery required (and how to achieve it); the rewards of exploring oneself and the world through climbing. Through interviews with some of North America’s most notable climbers the book undertakes a quest to find the soul of climbing— asking what compels men and women to dedicate their lives to the challenges and deprivations of living in a vertical world? What are the sacrifices and what are the rewards? And most importantly, can the lessons learned on cliff faces, frozen waterfalls, and alpine peaks— lessons of respect, discipline, commitment, humility and simplicity—be brought home and used to benefit society as a whole?
