The elite team of five will climb Kangchenjunga  the worlds third highest mountain and one of mountaineerings biggest killers. No one has scaled it before  and they are  quite literally  following in the footsteps of one of the most famous mountain disasters of all time - the 1907 Lyell Expedition.  Five men lost their lives back then  overcome by the atrocious weather  misfortune and mountain sickness at such high altitudes. Lyell became a classic British hero when he published his memoir  Bloody  But Unbowed  which regaled his heroism in the face of extreme odds. It is this book that will guide this new group to get to the very top.  As the team prepare for the epic climb  Pearces unease about the expedition deepens. The only other survivor of the 1907 expedition  Charles Tennant  warns him off. He hints of dark things ahead and tells Pearce that  while five men lost their lives on the mountain  only four were laid to rest.  But Pearce is determined to go ahead and complete something that he has dreamed of his entire life. As they get higher and higher  and the oxygen levels drop  he starts to see dark things out of the corners of his eyes. As macabre mementoes of the earlier climbers turn up on the trail  Stephen starts to suspect that Charles Lyells account of the tragedy was perhaps not the full story...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647088943157,"sku":"ByrdShop_1409163342","price":103.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781409163343.jpg?v=1781688560","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/thin-air-9781409163343","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
