"Fascinating...A high altitude, high stakes search for
the yeti,
the so-called Abominable Snowman."
-
The New York Times Book Review
In an ice cave high on a forbidden Himalayan
mountaintop, renegade climber Jack Furness
unearths
a perfectly preserved skull, a fossil that
may be the missing link and the scientific
discovery of the century. To Berkeley
paleoanthropologist Stella Swift, the miraculous
find warrants an immediate expedition up the
mountain's treacherous
Fish Tail Peak. But with
neighboring Pakistan and the India on the brink
of nuclear catastrophe, the Pentagon and the
CIA
have their own designs on the remote site. Now,
they're all about to enter a domain where one of
nature's fiercest
creations has thrived for millions
of years - and modern man was never meant to be.
"Philip Kerr, who has been dubbed, 'Michael Crichton's smarter brother', brings us Esau, the thinking
man's technothriller that swirls around the discovery of a missing link in the Himalayas...Once you start, you can't stop."
