Storms of Silence, Dark Shadows Falling, The Beckoning Silence and one previous novel, The Water People.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
"Another gripping mountaineering epic, but also much more than that, a fine, poetically written meditation on love, loss and redemption." Daily Mail "The familiar Simpsonian territory of guilt, survival and loss against a background of elemental terror and beauty." Daily Telegraph "The tale is deftly woven with an air of immediacy and a visceral, intimate feel, drawing heavily on Simpson's mountaineering experiences." Evening Post
