Thrillseekers, be sure to check out these recent releases!
1434 by Grant Menzies ~ A few years back Grant Menzies shook the historical world when alleged that the Chinese discovered the Western Hemisphere well before Christopher Columbus. His report, 1421 , was optioned as a PBS special and became an instant bestseller while igniting countless classroom and dinner table debates. Now Menzies is back with 1434, claiming the Chinese sailed in Tuscany and kick started the Renaissance. Crazy man or re-writing history? You decide! $26.95, William Morrow and Co.
The Thirtymile Fire by John N. MacLean ~ What started as a routine clean-up along the Washington state and Canadian border developed into a catastrophic event of unprecendented proportions. A series of blunders led to a massive conflagaration that claimed four lives as well as countless acres of pristine forest. MacLean examines the fire, the lives it affected, and the controversey surrounding it all in this riveting account. $14, Henry Holt.
Conquering the Impossible by Mike Horn ~ Think you had a bad day? Well, look at the bright side, you could have voluntarily spent 27 months circumnavigating the Arctic Circle. Alone. On foot. In, well, the Arctic. Mike Horn did this, and lived to tell write it. What unfolds is a true testament to will power and the human spirit. Horn spent more than two years digging to survive in the name of adventure. $15.95, St. Martin's Griffin.
Dark Summit by Nick Heil ~ Climbing Mount Everest was once the crown jewel for any experienced mountaineer. Sadly, things have changed as documented by Heil in this sad investigation of the once mighty mountain being exploited by tycoons and scam artists. Guides and expedition companies are to blame for refusing service to those ill-equipped to climb while independent tour leaders are more into the entrepeneurial spirit than adventure. $26, Henry Holt.
