Publisher's Notes
First Line: "A star, one that didn't belong, appeared in the night sky over the Himalaya in March 1996."
Industry Reviews
"...Raw, but powerful. [This book] tells a story not just of tragedy, but of a driven, self-centered man who loves to climb in the death zone....Bukreyev did the one thing that denies the void. He took action. He chose danger, and he saved lives."
New York Times Book Review (12/07/1997)
