A thrilling tale of high-altitude death and survival set on the snowy summits of Mount Everest, from the bestselling author of The Terror.

It's 1924 and the race to summit the world's highest mountain has been brought to a terrified pause by the shocking disappearance of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine high on the shoulder of Mt. Everest. By the following year, three climbers—a British poet and veteran of the Great War, a young French Chamonix guide, and an idealistic young American—find a way to take their shot at the top. They arrange funding from the grieving Lady Bromley, whose son also disappeared on Mt. Everest in 1924. Young Bromley must be dead, but his mother refuses to believe it and pays the trio to bring him home.

Deep in Tibet and high on Everest, the three climbers—joined by the missing boy's female cousin—find themselves being pursued through the night by someone ... or something. This nightmare becomes a matter of life and death at 28,000 feet—but what is pursuing them? And what is the truth behind the 1924 disappearances on Everest? As they fight their way to the top of the world, the friends uncover a secret far more abominable than any mythical creature could ever be. A pulse-pounding story of adventure and suspense, The Abominable is Dan Simmons at his spine-chilling best. 20. Jahrhundert Action & Abenteuer Historische Romane Horror Krimis & Thriller Thriller

This Book is incredible in the research and details related to mountaineering. If thats the kind of story you want to read about, you will love this. IF you hate a poorly executed anti climactic ending, skip this book. I loved the Terror by Simmons, listened to this 3 times already.
SPOILER ALERT!!!





I normally would never put a spoiler in a review.... but feel it will save a lot people the mental anguish of visualizing Adolf H. doing abominable things to 8 year old boys with descriptive pedophilia scenes. I had to stop the audio book at 25 hours... It went from one of the most incredible stories of endurance to .... a mental lapse of judgment by the author to make sure the listener or reader can never unhear or read pedophilia pornography

Prepare yourself for a Lemon ending

Leider sind in diesem Simmons die Charakter sehr idealisiert dargestellt und die Thriller-Story ziemlich absurd. Der Abenteuer-Teil der Geschichte (Besteigung des Mount Everest) ist ganz gut und natürlich ist das Buch gut geschrieben. Aber isngesamt halt eines von Simmons schwächeren Büchern.

Deutlich schwächer als Terror
