✦ Synopsis

Towering over the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayan mountain range was the proud, virgin summit of Meru - twenty- seven thousand and forty feet of icy splendour which had stood unchallenged since time immemorial, until, in the spring of 1913, a man led his party to begin the long, perilous climb to the top...

The man was Peter Savage, and all his life he had betted against ridiculous odds - taken decisions where others had hesitated Friends both loved and feared him - would do anything in their power to help him. Now Savage wanted Meru, and no matter what it cost, he was determined to win the battle between the mountain and the man...

“The account of the assault on Meru is a magnificent piece of descriptive writing... Mr. Masters writes from such a wonderfully rich experience of life that he could not be dull or insignificant if he tried.”

-Sunday Times

“An immensely readable novel with a wide sweep and superb action sequences on the frozen mountain slopes, in the trenches of Flanders, in the stricken Indian town!’
