As with all of Jeffrey Archer's books, this one is marvelously intriguing. Perhaps this one is different in that it has the twist of being about a real historical figure and a real historical event that never got the attention it deserved.
Climbing Everest was a seemingly impossible feat in the early part of the last century, but George Mallory was seemingly born to the task. Whether he made it to the top or not is the abiding question discussed.
Even knowing the outcome from the beginning, the story is completely compelling.
