Review: Descent

Descent by Roland Smith
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Peak has survived an avalanche on the mountain of Hkakabo Razi and is trying to descend into Tibet.  This wouldn’t be easy for most people, but it is even harder since Peak’s father and climbing guide are both wanted by the Chinese government.  This team may be skilled mountain climbers, but they aren’t ready to face Mother Nature and man at the same time.  Will Peak ever make it back to the United States?

 

Descent is the fourth book in the Peak adventure series.  Events in this book pick up shortly after the events of Ascent and readers will have few issues remembering the dynamic personalities of these characters.  This is a quick read and even the most reluctant reader will be turning the pages to see what will happen next.  Descent is a great finale for a strong series and I am glad that Smith brought us along for the ride.  I strongly recommend this book to everyone.  You don’t need to have read the first three, but you also might want to get the full experience by backing up and starting at the beginning.
