Publisher's Synopsis
Nothing will stop Alois Anwar from reaching the last and greatest dream of his life; completing the impossible climb to the virgin summit of the highest mountain in the Toribol Galaxy. But first, he must fashion a workable team of climbers out of Ama's finest mountaineers. Can he take this talented group of deeply troubled and emotionally challenged misfits to the summit before they implode and tear each other apart?
But that's just the beginning of their troubles. How will they survive deadly parasites, period cyclones, killer Muxphoy predators, ice worms and an ongoing treachery of impassable obstacles?
This heart pumping, award winning sci fi page turner is an immersion of adventure, survival, triumph over adversity, and a masterful study of the complexities of prejudice, insecurity, fear and loneliness.
There is a reason this mountain has never been climbed, a secret tied to the deepest truth about the nature of life in the universe.
